Verdict: A great workhorse for some tasks
As a mobile workstation laptop, the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14 should be more powerful than most other laptops. It does offer a powerful processor, and a lot of RAM, 64 GB in the case of our review unit, but the Radeon iGPU is nothing special. Overall, this means that this is a workstation that is not well-suited for tasks like CAD, but it is for CPU-intensive tasks - and AI, especially agentic AI, which profits from a strong CPU and lots of RAM.
In other regards, the HP laptop is a device without obvious weaknesses. The ZBook makes for a great workhorse laptop, thanks to its comfortable keyboard, flexible port selection and good screen. Surprisingly, it also offers great battery life, despite a slightly smaller battery than earlier versions of the ZBook 8. Plus, as an enterprise model, you get a long warranty, with better service than consumer devices, as well as additional security features. If you have the budget, the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14 is a great choice for a work laptop - though only if you do not need a lot of GPU power.

Cons
Price and Availability
As of this review, HP offers the ZBook 8 G2a 14 in the HP US webshop in the tested configuration for around $2,400.
Specifications
Case, Connectivity and Input Devices
As the lower-end ZBook series, the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14 is based on the design of the EliteBook 8 series. The entire chassis consists of grey Aluminum, with the exception of the plastic screen bezel and plastic insert into the lid for the Wi-Fi antennas. The base part of the chassis does not have much flex to it, though the screen can be bent a bit more.
It is a well-made chassis, with a single wide bar hinge. The hinge allows for an opening angle of 166 degrees, so not quite full-flat. There is no wobble and the screen can be opened with one hand. The mobile workstation from HP weighs around 1.5 kg, which is less than many of the other 14-inch class workstations, but slightly more than the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD. Size-wise, the HP laptop and the ThinkPad are very similar, though the ZBook is around 2 mm thinner.
The port selection has not changed compared with the ZBook 8 G1a. Internally, this HP mobile workstation is pretty upgradeable - SSD, two RAM modules, Wi-Fi card, take your pick. There is no 5G module and the device is not 5G upgradable, as it lacks antennas and a SIM slot, but there are other model variants of the HP laptop with 5G. The keyboard is a bit harder to reach, but it is a separate part from the palmrest.
HP uses the same keyboard as with the previous generation. It is excellent, a full-size Chiclet keyboard with six rows, 1.5 mm key-travel and a two-stage backlight. Typing with the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14 is a pleasure. And the glass touchpad (measuring 8 x 12.5 cm), which is a classic mechanical clickpad, is likewise very good,
Display
HP offers a total of six different 14-inch 16:10 screen options, all of which are matte IPS screens:
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 300 cd/m², 62.5 % sRGB
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 300 cd/m², 62.5 % sRGB, multi-touch
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB
- WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), 800 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, multi-touch, SureView
- WQXGA/2.5K (2,560 x 1,600), 400 cd/m², 120 Hz VRR, 100 % AdobeRGB/DCI P3
- WQXGA/2.5K (2,560 x 1,600), 500 cd/m², 120 Hz VRR, HP Dreamcolor
Like the earlier ZBook 8 G1i 14, our review unit of the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14 uses a panel made by LG, which delivers almost 100 percent of the sRGB, AdobeRGB and DCI P3 gamuts. It is a good panel, but it could be a bit brighter. 400 cd/m² is adequate, however, the ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 Intel achieves around 500 cd/m². The panel has flickering, but with a high frequency, and with 120 Hz refresh rate, it also displays movements pretty smooth, though not as smooth as an OLED display.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
| Screen flickering / PWM detected | 5255 Hz Amplitude: 66 % | ≤ 67 % brightness setting |  |
The display backlight flickers at 5255 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 67 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 5255 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 52 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 7710 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
Performance
Testing Conditions
There is only a single power mode, which results in a maximum CPU power consumption of 60 W (Power Limit 2) and a sustained consumption (Power Limit 1) of 45 W.
Processor Performance
The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 470 is a "Gorgon Point" processor, which is a refresh of AMD's Zen5 CPUs. This chip has twelve cores, four big Zen5 (up to 5.2 GHz) and eight smaller Zen5c (up to 3.3 GHz) cores. With Simultanous Hyperthreading (SMT), the CPU has a total of 24 threads. The typical TDP of this CPU is 54 W. More comparisons with other CPUs are possible with our CPU comparison list.
Performance-wise, the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14 does well. It is just 6 percent slower than HP ZBook Ultra 14, which features the expensive Ryzen AI Max Pro 390, and around four to five percent faster than the Arrow Lake based comparison laptops.
There was no performance reduction when the device ran on battery power during our testing.

Storage Devices
HP uses a Kioxia SSD with a capacity of 1 TB. It is an M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 drive that performs well in our testing, beating all the other 14-inch workstations in the comparison. The SSD does not throttle its performance under sustained load.

GPU and Gaming Performance
Graphics performance is normally one of the strong suits of mobile workstations, but that is not the case with the HP ZBook 8 G2a 14. It only has the integrated AMD graphics, the AMD Radeon 890M. Even compared to basic Nvidia dGPUs, this iGPU without dedicated VRAM can not compete. The same is true for the powerful AMD Radeon 8050S in the ZBook Ultra. The ZBook 8 G2a 14 is more suited for CPU intensive or AI applications that rely more on RAM than GPU power.

Emissions & Power Consumption
System Noise
The noise level of the ZBook 8 G2a 14 is similar to the other 14-inch workstations. The dual fans mostly stay off during normal usage. When they run, the maximum noise level reaches 42.6 dB(a), which is a bit less than the other models we tested.
We detected some slight coil whine when we held one ear to the keyboard of the device.

Temperature
The outside chassis temperatures are a bit elevated compared to the competitors, but lower when compared to the most comparable 14-inch workstation, the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 AMD. A maximum temperature of 45.3 degrees Celsius or 114 F on the bottom is pretty warm, but not critically so.
We did not detect any throttling in our hourlong stress test.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 41.2 °C / 106 F, compared to the average of 38.2 °C / 101 F, ranging from 22.2 to 69.8 °C for the class Workstation.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 45.3 °C / 114 F, compared to the average of 41.1 °C / 106 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.5 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 32 °C / 90 F.
(±) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 34.4 °C / 94 F, compared to the average of 32 °C / 90 F for the class Workstation.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are reaching skin temperature as a maximum (33 °C / 91.4 F) and are therefore not hot.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.8 °C / 82 F (-5.2 °C / -9.4 F).

Speakers
There are two speakers hidden on the front edge of the HP mobile workstation. Their sound is good, with good volume and even some bass. Compared to the P14s Gen 6 AMD, these speakers are superior.

Power Consumption and Battery Life
HP puts a 100 W charger in the box, which is more than enough to supply the mobile workstation with power. While the charger-size is generous, the battery is a bit smaller than before, with 68 Wh instead of 77 Wh like in the HP ZBook 8 G1i. It does not really matter, though: The ZBook still scores an excellent 16 hrs in our Wi-Fi/websurfing test (150 cd/m² screen brightness) - better than all the other 14-inch workstation competitors.
