85% HP EliteBook Ultra G1Q review: Snapdragon laptop is all-round good performer
Source: Creative Bloq
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1Q laptop has a lot going for it. Its slim chassis makes it super-portable, and its Snapdragon X Elite processor is ideally suited to AI acceleration. Unfortunately, the lack of an NVIDIA GPU is disappointing and confirms this laptop's focus on productivity rather than high-end creativity. Hybrid workers and students demanding more from their laptops have everything they need in the Ultra G1Q.

70% HP Elitebook Ultra G1q Review: A Compact and Sleek Windows on ARM Laptop
Source: NDTV Gadgets
The laptop offers a sleek and lightweight design, a huge plus for those who are always travelling. The display is good, but you will find OLED panels in a similar price segment if you want better performance. The laptop is a decent alternative to the Intel or AMD-powered machines, though it faces stiff competition from its rivals. Also, the limited support of ARM makes it a difficult choice for enterprise customers who heavily rely on x86 architecture. The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q offers a promising future for ARM-based Windows laptops. However, you still have a lot of laptops that provide superior performance and compatibility at this similar price range.

70% HP EliteBook Ultra G1q review: battery life champ for enterprise consumers
Source: 91mobiles
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q is a thoughtfully designed laptop that excels in portability, battery life, and efficiency, making it an excellent choice for business professionals who need a reliable device for basic productivity tasks. The laptop’s premium build quality, comfortable keyboard, and long battery life make it well-suited for users who are frequently on the move or working in fast-paced environments. However, the limitations of the Snapdragon X Elite processor and Windows on ARM’s software compatibility issues cannot be overlooked. While native ARM apps perform well, the lack of robust support for x86 applications, particularly in emulation, means this laptop may not be the best choice for power users or those relying on performance-intensive software.

90% HP Elitebook Ultra G1q AI Laptop Review: This Qualcomm Snapdragon PC is snappy!
Source: Tech2.in.com
HP’s EliteBook Ultra G1q makes a compelling argument for Windows on ARM systems, especially for business professionals. The laptop delivers quality performance, outstanding battery life, and a vibrant display, making it suitable for most professional settings. The main factor holding the EliteBook Ultra G1q back from dominating the business laptop market is the same issue that has plagued Windows on ARM systems for years: app support and emulation. Although the number of applications running natively on ARM has grown and x86 emulation has significantly improved, if your job requires specialised software, you might find the EliteBook lacking. In such cases, it’s likely better to opt for a more traditional Intel or AMD-powered system.

80% HP EliteBook Ultra G1q AI PC review: A powerful business laptop
Source: India Today
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q is a solid choice for professionals who need a lightweight, portable laptop packed with AI-driven features. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Platform processor ensures smooth multitasking, making it perfect for busy workdays. AI tools like noise cancellation and video enhancement during calls are great productivity boosters. With a premium design, strong build quality, and an impressive 14-inch display, this laptop is not just functional but also stylish. Plus, its long-lasting battery, which easily handles 9 hours of work, and quick charging make it reliable for on-the-go use. If you're into heavy gaming or graphics-intensive tasks, the HP EliteBook Ultra G1q might not be for you. Its Qualcomm Adreno graphics are good for business tasks but won't replace a dedicated graphics card for high-performance needs.

HP EliteBook Ultra G1q Laptop Review: Snapdragon X Battery Life King
Source: Hot Hardware
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q is a great business laptop. If you travel at all for work, especially those that rely in big battery life, the EliteBook Ultra is very impressive. The Oryon architecture's CPU performance in Arm-native applications -- which includes Microsoft's suite of business apps and the most popular browser on Earth, Google Chrome -- is top-notch. When you have to fall back to x86- only applications, performance is still solid. The NPU is a good addition for the target client base, too, as running image and audio enhancement models there instead of an iGPU or CPU frees up resources. Add to all of that the best battery life we've ever tested in a laptop and you've got a winner. Pricing is pretty straightforward right now, as HP offers just one SKU of the EliteBook Ultra.

90% HP EliteBook Ultra G1q 14″ review: Snapdragon X Elite is here
Source: Techaeris
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q is an impressive little laptop, and the Snapdragon X Elite does an exceptional job (and it is the star of the show). This isn’t a bad buy, though you might look elsewhere if you require a brighter display. Overall, these first generation X Elite laptops are pretty remarkable.

80% HP EliteBook Ultra G1q review: Coming of age for Microsoft Windows on ARM?
Source: Business Standard
The EliteBook Ultra is a capable Windows laptop complemented by AI features from Microsoft and HP. From thin-and-lightweight construction to productivity-oriented display, smooth performance, and lasting battery life, the laptop ticks all the right boxes of a good workbook. However, prospective buyers should scrutinise app compatibility to ensure all necessary software aligns with ARM architecture.

The scarce few benefits of Copilot+ PCs to date, such as clever webcam effects, whet our appetite for future goodies. While we wait, we can't honor the HP EliteBook Ultra G1q an Editors' Choice award because it doesn't stand out from the ThinkPad X1 Carbon, the HP Dragonfly G4, and other business slimlines with more ports and available mobile broadband. However, we're keeping an eye on this one.

80% HP EliteBook Ultra review: It makes a good case for ARM business laptops
Source: Laptop Mag
With the EliteBook Ultra, HP has made a fantastic case for why Windows on ARM systems are ideal for business professionals. Between the quality performance, impressive battery life, and vibrant display, the EliteBook can be kept up in most professional settings. While its poor graphics performance is disappointing, it will be fine for an enterprise machine. The main issue holding the EliteBook back from taking over the business laptop market is the same thing that has hamstrung most Windows on ARM systems in the past: app support and emulation. While more applications are running natively on ARM than ever before, and the ARM x86 emulation software is better than ever, if you need certain specialized programs to do your job, it is probably better to stick with a more traditional Intel or AMD-powered Windows system.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-85 3.8 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that four Qualcomm Snapdragon X processors feature, as of Sep 2024. It has 1,536 unified shaders at its disposal that are said to run at up to 1,250 MHz. The underlying architecture is reportedly in many respects the same as what was used in the Adreno 730. While thankfully faster than the aging Intel Iris Xe (96 EUs), the Adreno fails to match the Radeon 780M meaning Baldur's Gate 3, a triple-A title released in 2023, is barely playable at 1080p on low with 23 fps on average. Triple-A games of 2024 fare even worse, in no small part due to Qualcomm's subpar graphics drivers.

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

SD X Elite X1E-78-100: A pretty fast ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The X1E-78-100 is the least powerful member of the Snapdragon X Elite processor series, as of May 2024; as such, it has 12 Oryon CPU cores running at no more than 3.4 GHz and the 3.8 TFLOPS Adreno X1-85 GPU. The 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU, an impressively fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are included as well.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

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.

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.

80.73%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
