D20CNET

The HP ZBook 8 G1i combines professional workstation capabilities with exceptional mobility, making it an excellent choice for engineers, designers, creators and business professionals who need access to demanding applications while travelling or moving between work locations. HP designed the ZBook 8 as its highly mobile workstation platform, delivering professional performance in a compact chassis starting at just 1.45kg.

At its core is the powerful Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 285H processor, featuring 16 cores, 16 threads, 24MB Intel® Smart Cache 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 500 Ada Generation Laptop GPU with 4GB GDDR6 dedicated memory. This professional NVIDIA GPU provides dedicated acceleration for CAD, design, 3D visualisation, content creation and compatible GPU-accelerated professional applications. The system also incorporates Intel® Arc™ 140T Graphics for integrated graphics workloads and improved efficiency.

The D20CNET is equipped with 32GB DDR5-5600 memory in a 1 × 32GB configuration. The ZBook 8 G1i platform provides two SO-DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB memory, leaving a straightforward upgrade path for professionals whose memory requirements increase over time.

Storage is provided by a 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 2280 NVMe TLC SSD, delivering fast boot times, responsive application loading and ample capacity for professional software, project files and business data. High-speed local PCIe storage is particularly beneficial when working with large project files and professional applications.

The 14-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) display features a productivity-focused 16:10 aspect ratio, anti-glare treatment, low-power technology, 300 nits brightness and 62.5% sRGB colour coverage. The compact 14-inch format provides a useful professional workspace while maintaining the excellent portability expected from the ZBook 8 platform.

Connectivity is comprehensive for such a compact workstation. The D20CNET provides two Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C 40Gbps ports with USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort™ 2.1, an additional USB-C port, USB-A, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45 Ethernet and a combination headphone/microphone connection. Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE201 and Bluetooth® 5.4 provide modern high-speed wireless connectivity.

For hybrid collaboration and security, the ZBook 8 G1i includes a 5MP IR camera, fingerprint reader and HP business security technologies. HP Sure Start provides self-healing BIOS protection, while the premium spill-resistant keyboard incorporates drainage to help protect the notebook from minor accidental spills. This specific configuration does not include a Smart Card reader or mobile broadband module.

Mobility is one of the ZBook 8 G1i’s major strengths. The 14-inch chassis measures approximately 315.6 × 222 × 18.9mm and starts at only 1.45kg, making it highly portable for a dedicated-GPU workstation. HP Fast Charge can recharge supported configurations from zero to approximately 50% in 30 minutes.

A major advantage of the D20CNET package is its included professional accessory bundle. In addition to the workstation, HP includes an HP Prelude Pro 15.6 Backpack, HP 235 Slim Wireless Mouse, and HP Thunderbolt 4 Ultra 180W G6 Dock, providing a ready-to-use mobile and desk-based workstation setup.
