HP releases new compact laptop with Intel Panther Lake, 32 GB RAM and 800 nit display
A few months have passed since HP updated its EliteBook 8 series with new models. Now, the company has started selling the compact EliteBook 8 G2i 13 in Europe. Currently, we cannot find the new laptop on any of HP's other regional stores, though.
While we wait for those to arrive, HP is offering the EliteBook 8 G2i 13 exclusively with the Core Ultra 7 355 from Intel's Panther Lake family. An 8-core processor, the Core Ultra 7 355 also features a 4-core Xe3 iGPU that easily outperforms the equivalent found in older Arrow Lake-based Elitebook 8 G1i models (curr. $1,099 on Amazon).
Additionally, HP has paired this Panther Lake processor with a 62 Wh battery that supports up to 100 W charging. Moreover, the laptop measures 301.8 x 214.9 x 11.8~15.5 mm, weighs 1.31 kg and features a 13.3-inch IPS display that combines a 1200p resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio, 800 nits peak brightness and 100% sRGB colour space coverage.
The EliteBook 8 G2i 13 starts at £1,537 in the UK with 16 GB of LPDDR5X-8533 RAM and a 512 GB SSD. At the time of writing, the same configuration runs to €2,497 in the Eurozone but with a 400-nit display. Alternatively, HP is selling essentially the same configuration with 32 GB of RAM for £1,889 in the UK. Please see the company's website for more details.
