HP has officially introduced its EliteBook Ultra G1Q to the Nepali market, bringing Qualcomm's ARM-based Snapdragon X Elite silicon to local business professionals. Designed as a Microsoft Copilot+ AI PC, this lightweight laptop offers a departure from traditional Intel and AMD options, focusing on high efficiency and AI processing capabilities.
Sleek Build and Display
Constructed from an aluminum chassis finished in Atmospheric Blue, the EliteBook Ultra G1Q weighs 1.35 kg and measures just 11.18mm thin (312.67 x 223.27 x 11.18mm). Despite its slim profile, it features MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability testing alongside ENERGY STAR and TCO certifications.
The front is dominated by a 14-inch 2.2K (2240x1400) IPS touchscreen displaying a 16:10 aspect ratio. It reaches up to 400 nits of brightness, covers 100% of the sRGB color space, operates at a 60Hz refresh rate, and includes HP Eye Ease hardware for reduced blue light emission.
Snapdragon X Elite Performance & Security
At the heart of the laptop is the 4nm Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 chipset, featuring a 12-core Oryon CPU clocked at 3.4GHz, an integrated Adreno X1-85 GPU, and a 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU for acceleration of AI tasks. It runs standard Windows software via emulation, performing at a base TDP of 23W. Memory is provided by 16GB of soldered LPDDR5x RAM operating at 8448 MT/s, paired with a 512GB PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD occupying the single M.2 slot.
For enterprise security, the laptop houses a 5MP IR webcam with a privacy shutter, facial recognition, a fingerprint reader, a TPM 2.0 module, and preloaded HP Wolf Security software.
Ports, Battery, and Nepali Pricing
Connectivity options include one USB4 (40Gbps) port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10Gbps) port, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A (5Gbps) port, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack, supplemented by Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4. Dedicated HDMI, Ethernet, and SD card ports are absent. Powering the system is a 59Wh battery charged via an included 65W adapter, delivering roughly 10 to 14 hours of real-world productivity under Windows 11 Home.
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1Q is now stocked across retail stores in Nepal, carrying a price tag of NPR 188,100 (positioned in the NPR 198,000 tier for premium business laptops).
