HP ZBook 8 G1i Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H 32GB DDR5 1TB NVMe SSD NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada 4GB 16″ WUXGA Windows 11 Pro AI Mobile Workstation

CF8J6ET

The HP ZBook 8 G1i combines professional workstation capabilities with true mobility, making it ideal for designers, engineers, creators and business professionals who need to work with demanding applications away from a traditional desktop workstation. HP specifically positions the ZBook 8 for reviewing 3D designs, working with professional applications, AI-assisted workflows and handling multiple projects simultaneously.

At its core is the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H processor, featuring 16 cores, 24MB cache, frequencies from 1.50GHz up to 5.10GHz, and an integrated Intel® AI Boost NPU delivering up to 13 TOPS. This hybrid architecture provides strong performance for demanding productivity and professional workloads while dedicated NPU hardware accelerates supported AI tasks.

Professional graphics performance is provided by the NVIDIA RTX 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU with 4GB dedicated graphics memory. Combined with professional NVIDIA graphics support, this makes the ZBook 8 suitable for CAD, design, 3D visualisation, content creation and GPU-accelerated professional applications. The system also incorporates Intel® Arc™ 140T Graphics for integrated graphics workloads.

The workstation is supplied with 32GB DDR5-5600 memory in a 1 × 32GB configuration, providing excellent capacity for demanding multitasking and professional applications. The platform features two SO-DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB memory, providing useful future expansion potential.

Storage is provided by a 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD, offering fast boot times, responsive application loading and generous capacity for professional software, project files and business data. HP highlights its high-speed PCIe storage as providing substantially faster performance than traditional SATA SSD and mechanical hard drive storage.

The 16-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) display features a productivity-focused 16:10 resolution, anti-glare treatment, low-power technology, 300 nits brightness and 62.5% sRGB colour coverage. The increased vertical workspace is useful for professional applications, spreadsheets, timelines and multi-window productivity.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7, Gigabit Ethernet and modern USB connectivity. Two Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C 40Gbps ports support USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort™ 2.1, while an additional USB-C 20Gbps port, USB-A 5Gbps, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45 Ethernet and a combination audio jack provide extensive connectivity for professional docks, external displays, storage and peripherals.

For hybrid collaboration and security, the ZBook 8 G1i includes a 5MP IR camera, fingerprint reader and HP’s advanced business security technologies. HP Sure Start provides self-healing BIOS protection, while the premium backlit spill-resistant keyboard is designed for comfortable professional use and added durability.

The ZBook 8 G1i is also designed around mobility. Starting at just 1.76kg, it is considerably lighter than traditional high-performance mobile workstations, making it particularly attractive to professionals who regularly travel between offices, client sites and remote working locations. HP Fast Charge can recharge the battery from zero to approximately 50% in 30 minutes under supported conditions.

Finished in professional Meteor Silver, the CF8J6ET provides a balance between workstation performance, modern AI acceleration and everyday portability. This configuration also includes an HP Business 17 Backpack and HP 235 Slim Wireless Mouse.
