HP has released the EliteBook X G2i 14 globally, replacing the previous generation EliteBook X G1i that leveraged Intel's Lunar Lake platform. The new model adopts newer Panther Lake alternatives and positions itself as a lightweight business laptop with a focus on display quality and memory capacity.
HP replaces Lunar Lake with Panther Lake alternatives in a lightweight business laptop featuring up to 64 GB RAM and high-resolution OLED panels.
The device features a 14-inch OLED display available in both 1200p and 1800p resolutions, with the higher-tier panels offering a 120 Hz refresh rate. HP emphasizes portability by keeping the weight around 990 grams and tapering the chassis to 7 mm at its thinnest point.
Key specifications include up to 64 GB of LPDDR5X-9600 RAM, which is a significant increase over previous configurations. Storage options reach up to 2 TB PCIe Gen 5 SSDs, and all variants ship with a 68 Wh battery that supports up to 100 W charging.
Pricing varies significantly by region and configuration. In the UK, models start at £1,595 with a Core Ultra 5 325, while top-tier configurations reach £4,259. The US market sees prices starting around $3,189 for mid-range specs, with high-end models exceeding $5,000.
HP is selling far more SKUs in the UK than elsewhere, and availability differs by region. For instance, the German website lists fewer variants, often showing out-of-stock status at the time of writing.
