Reviews for the HP EliteBook 6 G1q

I wish HP would let consumer devices have cellular connectivity because it's my favorite feature of this business laptop
Source: XDA Developers
If you want to stay connected no matter where you are, the HP EliteBook 6 G1q with its optional 5G plan is up to the task. It's just a shame that the rest of the device doesn't measure up, because 5G is absolutely transformative for how (and where!) you can work, and I want it on every laptop. I can see this being a big hit with small- to medium-sized businesses that need a roving fleet of sales managers with always-connected devices, where the ability to get work done is more important than the perceived quality of the laptop. For everyone else, HP has the rest of the EliteBook range.

HP EliteBook 6 G1q Laptop Review

At all times, I never noticed the HP EliteBook 6 G1q getting overly warm in any manner, regardless of what task was being performed. Where some laptops have gotten uncomfortably hot on my lap, this was never something I experienced when using this laptop, thankfully. The HP EliteBook 6 G1q is no doubt a great laptop for those needing a computer that can handle being away from a charger longer than most in this class of laptop, while offering very few compromises. The addition of a SIM reader and a wide range of available ports gives it flexibility not typically seen, further easing the need for dongles or adapters in your travel bag and therefore lightening your overall carry load. These laptops don’t come cheap, but the HP EliteBook 6 G1q is yet another great laptop from HP and their EliteBook lineup. The EliteBook 6 G1q laptop packs incredible battery life and impressive hardware that help keep it ahead of the pack and make it one of the best series of business laptops on the market.

80% HP EliteBook 6 G1q review: 5G outshines the rest of this laptop

HP EliteBook 6 G1q review: 5G outshines the rest of this laptop The HP EliteBook 6 G1q delivers 5G connectivity that just works. It transforms how you use a laptop like this one, and I hope to see more laptops delivering seamless 5G out of the box in the future. For businesses, it also makes their fleet of laptops remotely trackable and manageable just like a cellular-connected phone or tablet is. The way HP has delivered multi-network 5G you don’t even have to think about is technically impressive. Unfortunately, the rest of the laptop experience is a lower-end Qualcomm Snapdragon X Plus machine. A company that wants to deliver a fleet of connected-but-mid-range laptops to a large number of employees will love these. But I bet the CEO will use a different machine.

HP EliteBook 6 G1q review: Snapdragon performance and HP Go 5G connectivity make this something special
Source: Techaeris
The EliteBook 6 G1q isn’t much to look at in terms of design. Nothing really stands out as anything groundbreaking in the design; it sticks true to the HP EliteBook standard. I do like the nice array of ports it has, and that’s good to see. Given that this laptop is special because of HP Go 5G, I would have liked to see a different, more updated, and unique design language. Something to set it off as special. Still, it does have a sturdy build and construction, so that’s great for a business laptop. The display is colorful and has decent blacks and crisp whites, but I did find that the 400 nits was still too low for my liking. Thankfully, there are other displays to choose from, so I recommend getting the one with 500 nits.

80% I tested the HP EliteBook 6 G1q to see if an AI laptop really makes you better at work
Source: The Indian Express
Over the past few years, I have stopped using Windows devices and have moved to the MacBook even for office work. However, every once in a while, I do check out new releases in the Windows ecosystem to see what is happening there.This monsoon, I have got hold of the new HP EliteBook 6 G1q, a 14-inch laptop which the company touts as a “Next Gen AI PC”. Using a three-year-old MacBook as my daily driver, the new HP EliteBook 6 G1q did feel a bit thick and heavy, though it has a stylish design that accommodates more ports and fans than the Apple device has. The silver finish has some understated elegance to it, and the new HP logo does stand out in a crowd.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it's only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
