Executive Overview — 16-Inch AI Notebook Built for Hybrid Power Users

The HP EliteBook 8 G1i AI delivers workstation-class performance, iron-clad security and carbon-smart design in a portable 16-inch form factor. Anchored by the Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 226V (8 cores, 8 threads, up to 4.5 GHz) and an on-die Intel® AI Boost NPU, this notebook accelerates Microsoft 365 Copilot, Adobe Firefly and real-time noise-cancellation while preserving battery life. A roomy 16 GB of LPDDR5x memory and a rapid 512 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD fuel multi-tab research, cloud IDEs and 4K media edits without stutter.

The immersive 16″ WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS panel blasts 800 nits brightness, 100 % sRGB colour and built-in HP Sure View Gen 5 privacy—so you can analyse confidential dashboards on sun-lit tarmacs or busy cafés. Wrapped in Glacier-Silver recycled aluminium and starting at 1.77 kg, the chassis meets MIL-STD-810H for drops, dust and vibration, yet carries an ENERGY STAR® and TCO badge for responsible procurement.

Connectivity is future-proofed with Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE201, Bluetooth 5.4 and an optional 5G WWAN slot, while dual Thunderbolt 4, extra USB-C 10 Gb/s and HDMI 2.1 keep every peripheral humming at full speed. HP Wolf Security, Sure Start Gen 8 BIOS protection and HP Tamper Lock safeguard firmware, OS and physical assets—backed by a 3/3/3 Next-Business-Day On-Site warranty from Australia’s trusted tech partner 7stores.au.
