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.

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.

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.

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.

HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.
In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
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.
Intel Graphics 4-Core iGPU (Arrow Lake): Integrated graphics card based on the Xe LPG architecture (similar to the dedicated Arc GPUs, but with a focus on efficiency). Provides 4 Xe cores (64 Xe vector engines) and 4 ray tracing units.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Qualcomm Snapdragon X:
SD X1-26-100: An affordable ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The 8-core Snapdragon X chip features 8 Oryon CPU cores running at up to 2.98 GHz, along with the 1.7 TFLOPS X1-45 Adreno iGPU and the 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU. The super-fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller known to us from other Snapdragon X chips, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are all onboard as well.
Intel Arrow Lake:
Ultra 5 225U: High-end mobile processor based on the Meteor Lake architecture. Offers 2 performance cores with up to 4.8 GHz (incl. SMT) and 8+2 efficiency cores with up to 3.8 GHz and can therefore process 14 threads simultaneously. Similar to the Core Ultra 5 135U, however, the Compute-Tile is manufactured in the new Intel 3 process and offers higher clocked CPU cores.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
