HP EliteBook X G2i laptop review
HP EliteBook X G2i 14-inch is a business class laptop with powerful CPU that will suit professionals needing a little more than your average laptop.
The HP EliteBook X G2i is a business-focused laptop that boasts a lightweight design, thanks to a magnesium alloy casing. While the material is strong, it does exhibit some flex, which may give the impression of a less premium build. However, the aesthetics align with the higher price point, and the 14-inch screen paired with a weight just below a kilo makes it an ideal travel companion for business professionals.
Inside, the laptop features the latest Intel Core Ultra X7 358H CPU, coupled with Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics and an integrated NPU for enhanced AI capabilities. Despite its business orientation, the laptop is capable of delivering serious gaming performance, albeit at reduced graphics settings. The body includes a selection of inputs, such as a full-size HDMI port for connecting to larger displays or projectors, and two Thunderbolt 4 ports capable of transmitting data at up to 40Gbps.
Additional ports on the right side include standard USB-A and a slower USB Type-C 3.2. The 16-core/16-thread Intel Core Ultra X7 358H CPU, 32GB RAM, and 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD provide ample power for multitasking and creative applications. The 14-inch, 2880 x 1800, 120Hz, 500-nit display with DCI-P3 coverage showcases vibrant colors and sharp detail, while the laptop's design combines a premium look with a lightweight, durable magnesium alloy construction.
Priced starting at £2,445, the HP EliteBook X G2i offers a powerful, high-end business laptop for those who prioritize performance and portability.
