HP releases new 14-inch laptop globally with up to 64 GB RAM, 800-nit display and Intel Panther Lake
A few months have passed since HP updated its EliteBook 6 series with multiple 'G2' models. Announced alongside EliteBook 8 alternatives, the EliteBook 6 G2 series consisted of over a dozen laptops with 14-inch and 16-inch display sizes.
Now, the smaller EliteBook 6 G2i 14 is available to purchase globally with Intel Panther Lake processors. For instance, the 14-inch laptop starts at £1,428 in the UK with the Core Ultra 5 322, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, a 1200p/60 Hz IPS display and a Windows 11 Pro licence. However, the laptop rises to £2,351 with the more powerful Core Ultra 7 366H, 24 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a higher resolution 2.5K IPS display.
Meanwhile, the EliteBook 6 G2i 14 currently retails for €2,399 (~$2,685) in the Eurozone with the Core Ultra 7 355, 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD and the same basic 1200p IPS display. By contrast, the 14-inch laptop has arrived in the US with a comparatively expensive starting price.
At the time of publication, the EliteBook 6 G2i 14 starts at $2,842, or $2,504 when opting for a FreeDOS licence instead of Windows 11 Pro. Moreover, HP includes the Core Ultra 5 322 by default paired with 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. One can configure 12 GB, 16 GB, 24 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM though, as well as up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage.
Furthermore, HP sells the EliteBook 6 G2i 14 with up to a Core Ultra 7 355 in the US and an 800-nit IPS display. Please note that all display options resolve at 1200p in the US. Similarly, HP includes a 3-cell and 56 Wh battery with all models.
By contrast, HP lists a fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 6.0/Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, an NFC module and a SmartCard Reader as optional extras. Alternatively, the company also sells the EliteBook 6 G2q with up to Qualcomm's Snapdragon X2 Elite X2E-84-100 chipset (curr. $1,506 on Amazon). Please see HP's website for more details.
