The Firefly successor that bets on Intel ARC: HP ZBook 8 G1i 14 laptop review

Name: HP ZBook 8 G1i 14
Brand: HP

Pure blue workstation.

With the 2025 generation, HP retires its ZBook Firefly branding, instead selling the HP ZBook 8 G1i 14 as its affordable workstation laptop. The newest version uses Intel Arrow Lake H and our particular model does not have a Nvidia GPU - can the experiment with using just Intel graphics work?

Potential Competitors in Comparison

Bye bye, Firefly: HP bids the old name of its entry level ZBook line farewell. Of course, the workstation laptops themselves do not go away, they just continue with a new name. Hence, the HP ZBook 8 was born, a name that signals the close relation of this line with the office line HP EliteBook 8. In this review, we are taking a look at the HP ZBook 8 G1i 14. Our specific model interestingly leaves out the dedicated graphics otherwise obligatory for mobile workstations, instead opting for the integrated Intel graphics.

Case and Connectivity: Like a thicker HP EliteBook 8

The HP ZBook 8 G1i 14 looks like the older brother of the HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14 we recently reviewed. This is not a coincidence, as both use the same basic design and share parts such as the touchpad and keyboard. The ZBook is just a bit darker than the EliteBook, and a bit thicker. In terms of build quality, the ZBook is just a good as its office counterpart with an all aluminum chassis.

Compared with the older ZBook Firefly 14, one of the USB-A ports has disappeared in favor of a second USB-C. Folks with a lot of older accessories may not like this change, but the USB-C is more powerful and enables charging from the right side, too. Additionally, the new ZBook 8 G1i 14 now has a RJ45-Ethernet port, a very welcome change.

An additional change is the introduction of a second cooling fan, the older ZBook Firefly used a single fan - the second fan is also a difference to the EliteBook 8. Despite this change, the ZBook 8 G1i 14 still retains the two SO-DIMM slots as well as the modular M.2 2280 SSD.

Input Devices: Very comfortable HP ZBook keyboard

What we said about the keyboard of the HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14 basically applies here as well: It is an excellent keyboard, thanks to the very tactile 1.5 mm travel Chiclet keys. The layout has room for improvement, but typing and working with the HP ZBook 8 G1i is a pleasure thanks to the keyboard. Very solid as well is the glass trackpad that measures 12.5 x 8 cm. The only way it could be improved would be by using a haptic solution instead of a mechanical one, since that would enable the user to click anywhere.

Display: WQXGA screen could be brighter

Backlight bleeding (shown enhanced here)

HP makes choosing the right display for the HP ZBook 8 G1i 14 not easy, as there are a total of seven different matte 14-inch 16:10 IPS screens:

WUXGA (1,920 x 1,080), 300 cd/m², 62.5 % sRGB
WUXGA (1,920 x 1,080), 300 cd/m², 62.5 % sRGB, Touch
WUXGA (1,920 x 1,080), 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, Low Power
WUXGA (1,920 x 1,080), 800 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, SureView 5
WUXGA (1,920 x 1,080), 800 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, SureView 5, Touch
WQXGA/2.5K (2,560 x 1,600), 400 cd/m², 100 % AdobeRGB / DCI-P3, 120 Hz VRR
WQXGA/2.5K (2,560 x 1,600), 500 cd/m², 100 % DCI-P3, 120 Hz, Dreamcolor

The WQXGA screen sports a good brightness of over 400 cd/m², although that is less than the older ZBook Firefly. The colors of the screen are excellent and thanks to the 120 Hz VRR refresh rate, the panel does not feel sluggish, despite the response times not being the best. Overall, it is a very nice panel for color work, although around 400 cd/m² are a bit limited nowadays for a premium screen option.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
22.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 9.3 ms rise
22.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 12.9 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 49 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (20.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
30.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 13.3 ms rise
30.3 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 17 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 39 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (31.8 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

24000 Hz
Amplitude: 75 %

≤ 74 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 24000 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 74 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 24000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8215 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance: Intel Arrow Lake H matches Strix Point

HP offers a selection of both Arrow Lake U and Arrow Lake H CPUs, ranging from 12 to 16 cores in total for the nine CPUs offered. There are four possible GPUs, three from Intel and the Nvidia RTX 500 Ada as the single dedicated GPU. Up to 64 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM (2x SO-DIMM) and a single M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD with up to 2 TB capacity are available.

Testing Conditions

We tested our review device with the power mode "Best performance". The power limits for the processor are as such:

Best energy efficiency: PL1 40 W / PL2 60 W
Balanced: PL1 60 W / PL2 60 W
Best performance: PL1 60 W / PL2 60 W

Processor

The Intel Core Ultra 255H is an Arrow Lake H processor with 16 cores in total (six Lion Cove P cores, up to 5.1 GHz; eight Skymont E cores, up to 4.4 GHz; two Low Power E cores, up to 2.5 GHz). The processor has a typical TDP rating of 28 W, but it can consume up to 115 W if set by the manufacturer to do so. More benchmark comparisons are possible with our CPU benchmark list.

Performance is clearly improved over the ZBook Firefly G11, but this is to be expected, as the sustained TDP is increased from 26 W to 60 W, thanks to the new dual fan cooling system. The Intel CPU does slightly better than the AMD chips in terms of singlecore loads, but the AMD Strix Halo is far better when it comes to multicore tasks. It is a tie with the Strix Point chip of the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD, but it should be mentioned that this chip only consumes 36 W under sustained load.

CPU performance is not throttled in battery mode.

Storage Devices

HP uses a fast SK Hynix M.2 2280 SSD that is connected to the system via NVMe PCIe 4.0. While the SSD is indeed a good one, it does suffer a bit from thermal throttling under load. Its speed gets throttled down by about half under sustained load.

GPU Performance

The GPU of the ZBook 8 G1i 14 is one of the more interesting aspects. Usually, workstations use a dedicated GPU, but HP uses the integrated Intel solution. Some AMD-based workstations have embraced this approach for a few years, with varying success. In this case, it is clearly not a very powerful solution, as the Intel ARC 140T can not even compete with the integrated AMD iGPU of Strix Point. It is certainly usable for very basic rendering, but not for bigger projects. In the SPECviewperf benchmark, it places last.

Power Consumption

Power consumption is slightly lower when idling, but slightly higher under load, when compared to the HP ZBook Firefly G11. This makes sense, as the lack of a dedicated GPU and more efficient Arrow Lake CPU would improve the efficiency when idling, but the higher power limit with the dual fan cooling would increase it under load.

The HP laptop stays within the envelope of the 100 W USB-C charger.

I was an ardent reader of Notebookcheck’s laptop reviews even back in school. After writing reviews as a hobby, I then joined Notebookcheck in 2016 and have worked on device reviews and news articles ever since then. My personal interest lies more with laptops than smartphones, with business laptops being the most interesting category for me. Technology should make our lives and work easier and good laptops are an essential tool for that to happen. This is why laptop reviews are not just my work but are also my passion.
