💻 HP EliteBook Ultra G1i vs EliteBook X G1a vs EliteBook 1040 G11

These are HP's three premium 14-inch EliteBooks, and they map cleanly onto three buyer priorities. The EliteBook Ultra G1i is the efficiency flagship — Intel Lunar Lake, a 48-TOPS Copilot+ NPU and the longest battery of the three in the lightest chassis — the pick for travelling executives who value runtime and the newest Intel platform. The EliteBook X G1a is the power flagship — a 12-core AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 375, up to 64 GB of memory, a 50-TOPS NPU and a large 74.5 Wh battery — for users who need sustained multi-core throughput and creator headroom in a premium ultralight. The EliteBook 1040 G11 is the privacy and serviceability flagship — the only one offering an integrated Sure View Gen5 800-nit privacy panel, up to 2 TB of storage and HP Fast Charge, on a proven vPro platform, usually at the keenest price. All three carry HP Wolf Pro Security. Choose the Ultra for battery and the latest Intel NPU, the X for AMD power and memory, and the 1040 for an integrated privacy screen and value.
