How big is the screen and how heavy is it?

The screen is 15.6 inches and the machine weighs 6.1 lb. That makes it a stay-at-the-desk laptop rather than one to carry between meetings all day.

Our take on the HP EliteBook Ultra G1i

The HP EliteBook Ultra G1i is a business laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 5 processor with 10 cores, integrated graphics, 16 GB of RAM and a 256 GB solid-state drive, running Windows 11 Pro. It ships in HP's Wolf Pro Security Edition with a keyboard, mouse and power adapter, and it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The 256 GB drive is small for a machine that can take up to 64 GB of RAM, so check your storage needs before buying. The 15.6-inch screen and 6.1 lb weight put it in desktop-replacement territory rather than ultraportable, so it suits a desk-bound office setup more than daily commuting.

Questions and answers

Is the HP EliteBook Ultra G1i good for business use?

Yes. It runs Windows 11 Pro on a 10-core Core Ultra 5 with 16 GB of RAM, which covers email, documents, spreadsheets and video calls. Heavy design or gaming work will be limited by the integrated graphics.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

HP lists a maximum of 64 GB of RAM, so memory can be expanded beyond the installed 16 GB. The 256 GB SSD is the bigger constraint; plan on external or cloud storage unless you can swap the drive.

Does it come with Windows 11 Pro?

Yes. Windows 11 Pro is the installed operating system, and the machine is the Wolf Pro Security Edition with HP security software included.

What is in the box?

The listing includes a keyboard, a mouse and a power adapter alongside the laptop.

Is the 256 GB drive enough?

For light office use it is workable, but business files, photos and local backups will fill it fast. If you keep large datasets on the machine, budget for extra storage.

How does it compare with the EliteBook Ultra G1i's predecessors?

The G1i moves to Intel's Core Ultra 5 platform with a 10-core CPU and support for up to 64 GB of RAM. Confirm the exact screen and port configuration on the listing before comparing with older EliteBook models.
