Reviews for the HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14
The EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 is HP's new business spearhead featuring a high-quality aluminum case. Its Lunar Lake processor delivers sufficient performance and its fans are barely audible during use, but what compromises do you have to make for its low weight of 1.2 kilograms?

The HP Elitebook Ultra G1i is a lightweight and stylish business laptop that impresses with potent performance, a gorgeous OLED screen and excellent battery life. Its keyboard and trackpad are also highlights. Just watch out for its higher price and meagre set of ports. The Samsung Galaxy Book 5 Pro is this laptop’s closest rival, coming with a similar price and set of components, with remarkably similar performance. Its OLED screen also offers even stronger contrast and deeper blacks, while you also get a much better set of inputs with HDMI and a microSD reader. In addition, the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s Gen 6 features a better set of ports and similar power with the Ryzen 7 AI 360 chip inside – it lacks an OLED panel, though. Overall, the Elitebook Ultra G1i is a fantastic business laptop if you want a svelte and stylish one with solid power and a gorgeous display, although I think Samsung’s is just slightly more complete.

HP's EliteBook Ultra G1li is on sale, with prices starting at $1,999. My review unit costs $2,199. I recommend this model to people looking for an alternative to a MacBook Pro. It offers a similar experience without being forced to learn a new operating system. Other options are available on the company's online store, including more affordable models sporting an Intel Core Ultra 5 226V chipset alongside 16GB of RAM.

If you’re a business user looking for a well-built laptop that feels great in hand and looks just as good, with decent productivity performance and great battery life, the EliteBook Ultra G1i is a great choice. Toss in a spectacular OLED display for good measure. In fact, those are qualities that many consumers are looking for. However, the EliteBook comes with a host of business features that most consumers don’t need, which pumps up the price. So, if you have money to burn, then it’s a great laptop for consumers — but I suspect most buyers will be businesses.

Intel Arc 140V: A pretty fast integrated graphics adapter that higher-end Intel Lunar Lake family processors employ. This is a direct successor to the Arc 8; it can drive three SUHD 4320p monitors simultaneously via HDMI 2.1, eDP 1.5 and DP 2.1. With the 140V, all 2023 and 2024 games are playable at 1080p 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.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
