HP Elitebook Ultra G1q Review: Windows Battery Leader

Say what you want about the creative power of AI in the new Microsoft Copilot PCs, with its new EliteBook Ultra G1q, HP says, "Why not take it to the office?" This is a laptop that's all business--an "atmospheric blue" (not black) 14-inch clamshell, with nothing in the way of design frills aside from a silvery HP logo on top and a row of half-height function keys that are a bit lighter in color. Never accuse Hewlett-Packard of not knowing how to have a little fun, even in the corner office. The feature list here is a familiar one for the Copilot PC market, though the specs on this machine are surprisingly entry-level. The slower Snapdragon X Elite X1E78100 serves as the CPU, backed by 16 GB of RAM and a 512-GB solid-state drive.
