Overview

14-inch mobile workstation

A portable workstation for professional applications, with optional NVIDIA graphics in a compact chassis.

  • Wide-gamut 2.5K option

    HP's only 2560 × 1600 panel for the 14-inch model is its 120 Hz DreamColor display covering 100% of DCI-P3, and B&H lists the same 120 Hz panel with full DCI-P3 and Adobe RGB coverage for DK3F4UT. The 2.5K configurations (DK3F1UT, DK3F4UT, DK3F8UT, DK3G0UT) suit colour work; HP's 1920 × 1200 panels have no wide-gamut rating.

  • Three USB-C display connections

    Two Thunderbolt 4 ports and a third USB-C port support display output and charging, with Ethernet built in for wired networks.

  • Replaceable RAM

    Core Ultra 5, 7 and 9 configurations use two SO-DIMM memory slots.

  • NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell 6 GBV-Ray's NVIDIA CUDA and RTX modes use this GPU's 6 GB dedicated memory for scene data.
