HP ZBook 16" X G1i 2025
Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 285H 16-core processor and an NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada GPU with 8GB VRAM, this 16-inch mobile workstation drives a 3840x2400 120Hz IPS panel covering 100% sRGB and DCI-P3 at 500 nits. A comprehensive port layout—including Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, Ethernet, and an SD card reader—eliminates dongle dependency for pro workflows. This configuration suits color-critical video editors, 3D modelers, and CAD engineers who demand accurate 4K visuals and ISV-certified graphics in a portable 2.00kg chassis.
