HP reveals pricing for new 16-inch laptop with AMD Gorgon Halo and 160 GB VRAM

HP has shed new light on its latest ZBook Ultra laptop. To recap, the company unveiled the ZBook Ultra G3a last week with AMD's new Gorgon Halo platform. While its US product listing revealed key hardware specifications, it did not indicate when the 16-inch workstation would be available, let alone for how much.

Nonetheless, VideoCardz has stumbled upon pricing for three SKUs. For the time being, this information is readily available on HP's 'Local AI Value Calculator'. Specifically, HP describes the following three SKUs for light, medium and heavy users, respectively:

• AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 490, 64 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, FHD display - $3,899
• AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, 128 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, FHD display - $5,999
• AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495, 192 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, FHD display - $7,449

Other configurations will be available, though. For instance, none of these SKUs include 4K IPS or 2.8K OLED displays, both with 120 Hz refresh rates. Meanwhile, StorageReview reports that the ZBook Ultra G3a delivers up to a 100 W thermal design thanks to a redesigned cooling system, up from 55 W in older models like the ZBook Ultra G1a we reviewed last year (curr. $1,999 on Amazon).

Moreover, StorageReview confirms that the ZBook Ultra G3a contains a 96 Wh battery within its 356 x 240 x 17.9 mm and 1.9 kg housing. The battery can be recharged at 180 W using its Thunderbolt 4 ports, too. Please see our launch article for more details about HP's latest ZBook Ultra.
