Overview — 16-inch AI Performance for Enterprise Trailblazers

The HP EliteBook 8 G1i AI equips senior consultants, data-driven executives and creative directors with desktop-grade power in a travel-ready notebook. At its core is the new Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255U (12 cores, 14 threads, up to 5.2 GHz) featuring an integrated Intel® AI Boost NPU and Intel® Arc™ Graphics. This tri-engine design accelerates Microsoft 365 Copilot, Adobe Firefly and on-device translation while extending battery life—so cross-country flights become productive sprint sessions.

Matched with 16 GB DDR5-5600 memory and a fast 512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, the EliteBook devours multi-sheet financial models, 4K media edits and simultaneous VMs without a stutter. The expansive 16-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS panel provides 11 % more vertical workspace than FHD and pairs 300 nits brightness with anti-glare coating and 62.5 % sRGB fidelity—ideal for code reviews, CAD layouts and storyboard approvals in bright offices or airport lounges.

Wrapped in glacier-silver, recycled aluminium and starting at 1.69 kg, the chassis meets MIL-STD-810H for drops, dust and vibration while carrying ENERGY STAR® and TCO eco labels. Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200, Bluetooth 5.4 and optional 5G WWAN rip through cloud workloads, and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports plus HDMI 2.1 anchor any desk setup. HP Wolf Security, Sure Start Gen 8 BIOS protection and HP Tamper Lock harden firmware, OS and hardware—supported by a 3/3/3 next-business-day on-site warranty fulfilled quickly by 7stores.au.

Why This EliteBook — Five Strategic Advantages

AI-Optimised Silicon — On-die NPU off-loads generative AI, voice isolation and LLM tasks, freeing CPU/GPU cycles and extending runtime.
Big-Screen Efficiency — 16″ WUXGA canvas adds vertical pixels for side-by-side docs and extra timeline headroom in video edits.
Future-Proof Connectivity — Dual Thunderbolt 4 (40 Gb/s), USB-C 10 Gb/s, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 7 and 5G eradicate bottlenecks in hybrid workflows.
Boardroom-Ready Collaboration — 5 MP IR AI webcam, Poly Studio speakers and AI noise suppression deliver studio-grade calls anywhere.
Sustainable & Secure Fleet Choice — 25 % PCR plastics, 80 % recycled metals and 100 % recyclable packaging satisfy ESG mandates while HP Wolf Security slashes breach risk.

In-Depth

Intel’s tri-engine architecture channels scalar loads to high-efficiency CPU cores, graphics to Intel Arc™ EUs and AI inference to the dedicated NPU, trimming power draw by up to 40 % versus prior generations. Paired with a 62 Wh Long-Life battery and 65 W USB-C fast-charge (50 % in 30 minutes), the EliteBook handles Melbourne–Singapore–Tokyo hops without hunting for an outlet.

A spill-resistant, back-lit HP Premium Keyboard featuring a numeric keypad accelerates spreadsheet crunching, while an oversized glass clickpad supports precision multi-gestures in Windows 11 Pro. HP Manageability Integration Kit lets IT image, patch and audit fleets remotely, and tool-less bottom access simplifies SSD or memory upgrades as project scopes expand.

Ordering through 7stores.au brings rapid national delivery, asset-tagging services and flexible finance—turning procurement into a strategic advantage.
