HP ZBook X G1i Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H 32GB DDR5 1TB NVMe SSD NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 6GB 16″ WUXGA Windows 11 Pro AI Mobile Workstation
C9EQ9ET
The HP ZBook X G1i is engineered for professional workloads including CAD, 3D modelling, engineering, architecture, rendering, visualisation, content creation and AI-accelerated applications. HP positions the ZBook X as an accessible professional workstation platform with ISV-certified performance, professional components and a redesigned thermal system capable of supporting demanding rendering and AI workflows.
At its core is the Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H processor, featuring 16 cores, 24MB cache, a base frequency of 1.50GHz and boost speeds of up to 5.10GHz. The processor incorporates an Intel® AI Boost NPU delivering up to 13 TOPS, providing dedicated hardware acceleration for supported AI workloads.
Professional graphics performance is provided by the NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU with 6GB GDDR7 memory. Designed for professional graphics, compute and AI workloads, the RTX PRO platform provides hardware acceleration for applications used in engineering, 3D design, rendering and visualisation. Integrated Intel® Arc™ 140T Graphics handles lighter graphics workloads and helps improve efficiency when dedicated GPU performance is not required.
The workstation includes 32GB DDR5-5600 memory in a 1 × 32GB configuration. The ZBook X G1i platform provides two SO-DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB memory, leaving one slot available for straightforward future expansion. A spacious 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 x4 NVMe SSD provides fast application loading, responsive file access and generous capacity for large project files 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.
Connectivity includes Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE201, Bluetooth® 5.4 and Gigabit Ethernet. Two Thunderbolt™ 4 USB-C 40Gbps ports support high-speed data, USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort™ 2.1, while two USB-A 5Gbps ports, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45 Ethernet and an SD card reader provide extensive connectivity for professional displays, docks, storage devices and other peripherals.
For hybrid collaboration and security, the ZBook X G1i includes a 5MP IR camera, fingerprint reader and backlit HP Premium keyboard with numeric keypad. HP also incorporates advanced security technologies such as HP Sure Start, providing self-healing BIOS protection designed to help protect business data and user identity.
The ZBook X G1i uses a redesigned dual-fan thermal solution with optimised ventilation to help maintain performance during demanding workloads. HP Smart Sense dynamically optimises power and thermal performance based on usage, while BIOS-level power distribution intelligently directs available power to the components required by the active application.
Finished in professional Meteor Silver and starting at 2.04kg, the C9EQ9ET combines workstation performance with mobile flexibility. This specific package also includes an HP Business 17 Backpack and HP 235 Slim Wireless Mouse.
