Overview

14-inch AMD mobile workstation

A compact workstation built around Ryzen AI PRO processors, integrated Radeon graphics and replaceable memory.

  • Nearly 16 hours of browsing

    Notebookcheck's review unit (Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, 64 GB, 2.5K 120 Hz panel, 68 Wh) lasted 15 hours 56 minutes in its Wi-Fi browsing test at 150 nits. That beat the ZBook 8 G1i 14 (12 hours), ZBook Ultra G1a (10.5 hours) and both ThinkPad P14s Gen 6 versions (9.3 and 10 hours), so a full working day away from a charger is realistic.

  • Replaceable workstation memory

    Two SO-DIMM slots support up to 64 GB, leaving room to expand working memory after purchase.

  • 166-degree opening

    The hinge opens well beyond upright, useful when positioning the screen for shared viewing at a desk.
