Verdict — Practical And Long-Lasting
The EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13 is a great leap forward over the outgoing EliteBook x360 830 G10. Aside from being thinner and faster as one would expect, the new model is much more efficient due to the Arrow Lake-U CPU while improving upon numerous physical aspects like the keyboard, clickpad, and ports. Battery life and speakers are all above average and better than expected especially when considering the small form factor. Core business features like WAN, Smart Card, and the super-bright Sure View display remain optional for those who need them.
A key setback to the new model is its lack of display options as all current configurations are limited to 1200p IPS and 60 Hz. Users who demand P3 colors, OLED, HDR support or a smoother GUI will therefore have to consider higher-end models from the EliteBook Ultra or EliteBook X series. The Arc 4 GPU, while decent for a 13-inch convertible, is also on the weaker side when compared to other integrated solutions like the Arc 140T or Radeon 800M/900M series. Furthermore, the included stylus pen is thinner or narrower than the stylus pen for the Surface tablet to be more difficult to grip. The SSD throttling and relatively high core temperatures may suggest that the small cooling solution could use an upgrade down the line.
Pros
Cons
Price and Availability
HP is now shipping the EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13 starting at $2315 for the base configuration or around $3600 as reviewed. Options are also available on Amazon for $2100.
The HP EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13 replaces last year's EliteBook x360 830 G10. It introduces both a new external design alongside new Arrow Lake-U processor options to supplant the older Raptor Lake-U generation.
Our test unit comes configured with the Core Ultra 7 265U CPU, 32 GB RAM, and 1200p IPS touchscreen for approximately $3600 at HP.com. Competitors include other 13-inch prosumer or business-centric convertibles like the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga, Asus ProArt PZ13, or MSI Summit E13 AI Evo.

Specifications
Case
The chassis consists of similar metal materials as most other EliteBook models including the outgoing EliteBook x360 830 G10 for a familiar look and feel. For this year, the newer skeleton is thinner by a few millimeters while maintaining nearly the same length, width, and weight.
Connectivity
The model swaps away one USB-A port for a third USB-C port when compared to the EliteBook x360 830 G10.
Communication
Webcam
The 5 MP webcam comes standard with IR and a physical privacy shutter.

Maintenance
Sustainability
Approximately 50 to 70 percent of the plastics and 80 percent of the metal used during manufacturing come from recycled sources. The packaging is fully recyclable, but some plastic wrapping is nonetheless present on the AC adapter.
Accessories And Warranty
Included is an active stylus which can be stowed inside the pen garage along the right edge of the laptop. A one-year limited manufacturer warranty comes standard.
Input Devices
Keyboard And Touchpad
Much like on the recent EliteBook 8 G1a 16, the keyboard and clickpad on the EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13 have increased font size and surface area, respectively, for improved ergonomics. The typing experience is one of the best on any 13-inch convertible save for the cramped Arrow keys.
Display
While the 1920 x 1200 resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate are fixed across all current SKUs, HP offers three brightness options to compensate: 300, 400, or 800 nits. Configuring with the latter is best for outdoor visibility, but Sure View becomes mandatory at this tier for better or worse. Our specific test unit comes configured with the 400 nit option.
Colors and contrast are otherwise good for an IPS panel at >95 percent sRGB and ~1500:1, respectively. The slow black-white response times and slight graininess from the matte panel are arguably its biggest drawbacks.

The display comes well-calibrated out of the box with average grayscale and color deltaE values of only 1.0 and 1.73, respectively. An end-user calibration is therefore not necessary for most scenarios.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set MyHP to Performance mode prior to running the benchmarks below.
Processor
Raw processor performance from our Core Ultra 7 265U is faster than most other 13-inch convertibles. A notable exception is the MSI Summit E13 AI Evo which is one of the few 13-inch convertibles to ship with a Core H-series CPU for 10 to 25 percent faster multi-thread performance.
Multi-thread performance would drop by 25 percent when running CineBench R15 xT in a loop as shown by our graph below which aligns with our Stress Test clock rate observations. This behavior is common on many subnotebooks powered by U-series processors.
Downgrading from the Core Ultra 7 265U configuration to the Core Ultra 5 235U is expected to impact performance by 10 to 15 percent based on our time with the Dell Pro 14 Plus.

Stress Test
The CPU would boost to 3.5 GHz, 57 W, and 100 C when initiating Prime95 stress before dropping to 2.1 GHz, 24 W, and 94 C just 15 seconds later to represent limited Turbo Boost sustainability. Core temperature is very warm especially for a U-series CPU.

Emissions
System Noise
Fan noise and behavior are quite close to what we experienced on the Dell Latitude 9330. The fan is mostly inaudible when web browsing or streaming, but RPM would increase somewhat rapidly when more demanding loads are introduced.
We're able to notice some slight coil whine or electronic noise from our test unit when idling on desktop.
