Exceptional battery life.

Poor quality trackpad.

HP Elitebook X G1a review: Fast and portable, but lacks endurance

 

The HP Elitebook X G1a makes up for mediocre battery life with solid all-around performance, an enjoyable keyboard, and future-proof connectivity.

HP EliteBook X G1a 14 AI review: I don’t think I could go back to another business laptop

 

All business laptops should feel this good

Long-lasting battery, Powerful performance, Sturdy aluminum chassis, Phenomenal speakers, Excellent webcam

Squishy keyboard, Steep price point, Mediocre display

If you can stomach the steep price point, this EliteBook is stunning with excellent battery life and great performance.

HP EliteBook X G1a 14 AI review: Supercharged business laptop with AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX

 

The AMD Zen 5 CPU makes the EliteBook X G1a 14 AI a powerhouse of a laptop especially for a business subnotebook without needing to sacrifice battery life or ergonomics. However, weight can be a bit heavy for a 14-inch machine while display options are...

comfortable keyboard and clickpad;very fast performance for the size;good port selection;long battery life;easy to service

slow black-white and gray-gray response times;no high refresh rate panel options;three-year warranty not standard;relatively heavy for the size;no WAN configurations

The AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375 CPU helps to distinguish the EliteBook X G1a 14 AI from other 14-inch business laptops. Performance is very fast for the size and category to be a worthwhile investment for users or content creators who want more power...

Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 performance debut: HP OmniBook Ultra 14 laptop review

 

For just over a grand, the OmniBook Ultra 14 offers massive performance gains when compared to other subnotebooks in its price range. Some cut corners have been made to the display, but they're nothing that most users can't live with. The advent of...

excellent performance sustainability ;great performance-per-volume ;high resolution 9 MP webcam ;display supports FreeSync ;Wi-Fi 7 comes standard

slow recharge rate if running demanding loads ;high core temperatures under load ;loud on Performance mode ;relatively large footprint ;IPS display only

The highlight of OmniBook Ultra 14 is most certainly its Zen 5 CPU. The performance it offers is insane relative to the $1000 price point and small 14-inch form factor. HP aren't marketing the OmniBook Ultra 14 as one of the fastest 14-inch...

This HP laptop may be the closest thing to a MacBook Pro for Windows users - and I don't mind it

 

HP's first-generation EliteBook X has impressive hardware that makes it a productivity powerhouse and a sleeker form than its rivals.

There are no shortage of thin and light laptops out there with marathon batteries. The HP EliteBook X G1a is, comparatively, more focused on providing reliable muscle during working hours. The beefy hardware takes full advantage of the large battery,...

One of the most powerful work laptops I've tested this year is not a ThinkPad or MacBook

 

HP's first-generation EliteBook X is a 14-inch powerhouse designed for performance in the office, but it has some distinct considerations.

I just tested the Duracell Bunny of laptops – if you need a long battery, it doesn't get better than this

 

The HP Omnibook X 14 looks like an ordinary laptop, but this Snapdragon-powered machine is an endurance runner.

Enormous battery life ; Decent screen ; Portable build

Usual weak Snapdragon GPU ; Could have more ports

While it suffers from the same GPU issues - namely a lack of power and compatibility - as other Snapdragon laptops, the HP Omnibook X 14 pulls a rabbit from the hat in the form of extremely long battery life, even when compared to other ARM-based...

Great performance ; Powerful speakers ; Durable, sustainable design ; Over 13 hours of battery life

A bit heavy for a 14-inch laptop ; Camera’s a mixed bag ; No standout AI app

HP EliteBook X G1a The HP EliteBook X G1a is a business laptop that offers performance, endurance and durability with a heaping helping of AI Even though we are getting deeper and deeper into AI land, I still haven’t found that killer AI app. So while...
