HP's 2025 EliteBook X G1a Laptop
Stunning Visuals on a 14-inch OLED Display
Now, let's get to the screen. The EliteBook X G1a has a vibrant 14-inch OLED panel with crisp 2880x1800 resolution. Expect deep blacks, and rich colors, plus excellent clarity. It hits a peak brightness of 400 nits and covers 100% of the sRGB color spectrum. This makes it a well-suited screen for visual work and media consumption. HP has also included their Eye Ease technology. It is designed to reduce blue light emissions and at the same time minimize other eye strains during prolonged working hours.
Under the Hood: Performance Specializing in AI
And now the engine room. Under the hood of the EliteBook X G1a is a 12-core, 24-thread AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 375 processor. This processor is built for heavy lifting. With a max clock speed of 5.1 GHz, the processor will be well-suited to maintain AI workloads. It can even locally run large language models of a staggering amount with 70 to 120 billion parameters. Graphics are handled by integrated AMD Radeon 890M GPU.
But the total killer? 128 GB of R/A/-M LPDDR5x. That's an absolutely monumental amount of memory for a laptop. It is more than you typically find even in high-end models. Storage is lightning-fast too: a single 1-TB SSD (PCIe Gen4 NVMe).
