HP ZBook Ultra G1a Review

Are you looking for something with a powerful CPU or GPU in a compact chassis? Then you have also come to the right place, but it is not the only address. The top model that we tested is very pricey. On the other hand, you almost have to configure it that way to get the most out of the asset of AMD Strix Halo. Are you perfectly in the sweet spot? Then this is a dream machine. Do you fall a little outside of that? Then this is still a dream machine, but with competition. Tested configuration: HP ZBook Ultra G1a (model A3KZ2ET) – AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395, AMD Radeon 8060S, 128 GB RAM, 2 TB NVMe SSD, 14 inch glossy OLED screen (2,880 x 1,800 pixels), Windows 11 Pro – 3,643 euros excl. VAT

The HP Zbook Ultra G1a is a classy mobile workstation, featuring a large display, a robust design, and plenty of graphics power.

The HP ZBook Ultra G1a 14 has already garnered significant attention across the interwebs, owing to pre-launch coverage of its line-leading technologies that has succeeded in making it something of an aspirational laptop equivalent of an Aston Martin.

HP's new ZBook Ultra G1a 14 workstation laptop impresses with its AMD Strix Halo APU, up to 128GB of RAM, and powerful integrated Radeon 8050S integrated GPU. Maxed-out specs pricing is eye-watering, however.
