C9EQ8ET
The HP ZBook X G1i is engineered for professionals who need workstation-class performance for demanding workflows including CAD, 3D modelling, engineering, architecture, rendering, visualisation, content creation and AI-accelerated applications. Its professional-grade components and ISV-focused workstation platform provide significantly greater capability than a conventional business notebook while retaining the flexibility of a mobile workstation.
At its core is the high-performance Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285H processor, featuring 16 cores, 24MB cache, a base frequency of 2.70GHz and boost speeds of up to 5.40GHz. An integrated Intel® AI Boost NPU delivering up to 13 TOPS provides dedicated acceleration for supported AI workloads, allowing compatible applications to distribute workloads efficiently across the CPU, GPU and NPU.
Professional graphics performance is provided by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 1000 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. Designed specifically for professional graphics and compute workloads, RTX PRO graphics provide hardware acceleration for 3D modelling, rendering, visualisation and AI-enhanced professional applications. Integrated Intel® Arc™ 140T Graphics is also available for lighter graphics workloads and improved power efficiency.
The workstation includes 32GB DDR5-5600 memory in a 1 × 32GB configuration, providing substantial memory capacity for demanding professional applications and multitasking. A spacious 1TB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD delivers fast boot times, responsive application loading and generous capacity for large project files, datasets and professional software.
Its 16-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) UWVA display features a productivity-focused 16:10 aspect ratio, 60Hz refresh rate, anti-glare treatment, 300 nits brightness and 62.5% sRGB colour coverage. The larger workspace is particularly useful for professional applications with complex interfaces, toolbars, timelines and multi-window workflows.
For hybrid collaboration and security, the ZBook X G1i includes a 5MP IR camera, fingerprint reader and Smart Card reader. HP’s business security technologies include HP Sure Start, providing self-healing BIOS protection designed to help safeguard the workstation and sensitive professional data.
Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth® 5.3, Gigabit Ethernet and Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C 40Gbps connectivity. HDMI 2.1, dual USB-A 5Gbps ports, RJ-45 Ethernet, a full-size SD card slot and combination audio jack provide extensive connectivity for professional displays, docks, storage devices, networks and other peripherals.
HP also equips the ZBook X platform with an advanced thermal system designed to maintain performance during demanding professional workloads. The workstation combines a redesigned cooling solution with intelligent power and thermal management, making it suitable for sustained rendering, modelling and AI-accelerated workloads.
Finished in professional Meteor Silver and starting at 2.04kg, the HP ZBook X G1i provides powerful workstation performance in a mobile form factor. This specific C9EQ8ET package also includes an HP Business 17 Backpack and HP 235 Slim Wireless Mouse.
