Overview — 16-Inch AI Powerhouse for Enterprise Creators

The HP EliteBook 8 G1i AI equips analysts, solution architects, and creative leads with workstation-class capacity in a feather-light 16-inch chassis. Driven by Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255U (12 cores, 14 threads, up to 5.2 GHz) and an on-die Intel® AI Boost NPU plus Intel® Arc™ Graphics, it accelerates Microsoft 365 Copilot, Adobe Firefly, real-time translation, and predictive analytics while extending battery life.

To eliminate bottlenecks, HP outfits this model with 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory and a 1 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD—plenty of headroom for 4K video timelines, multi-GB datasets, and containerised dev stacks. Up front, an 800-nit 16″ WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS panel delivers 100 % sRGB colour, Low-Blue-Light comfort, and integrated HP Sure View privacy so confidential work stays private in bright client spaces or airport lounges.

Crafted from Glacier-Silver recycled aluminium and starting at 1.69 kg, the EliteBook exceeds MIL-STD-810H durability while meeting ENERGY STAR® and TCO eco markers. Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE200, Bluetooth 5.4, and optional 5G WWAN wipe out latency, and dual Thunderbolt 4 ports plus HDMI 2.1 anchor any desk setup. HP Wolf Security, Sure Start Gen 8 self-healing BIOS, and HP Tamper Lock defend every layer—backed by a 3/3/3 Next-Business-Day On-Site warranty and rapid Australian fulfilment from 7stores.au.
