Title: HP EliteBook X G1i 14 AI laptop review: Basic features wrapped in an executive package
Post by: Redaktion on July 23, 2025, 20:42:04
The EliteBook X G1i 14 doesn't offer any standout specifications or features, but what's here is done right and of very high quality for business users who just want the best lightwell clamshell without distracting extras.

There's no mentioning of the keyboard at all. Does anyone know if it is similar to the Elitebook X G1a? Or to the Zbook Ultra?

Keyboard was not reviewed, but you can see the keyboard looks fine except arrow keys are ½ size. Home, end, page up keys are there. www. notebookcheck. net/fileadmin/Notebooks/HP/EliteBook_X_G1i_14_AI/stress1.jpg

From a reddit post: "Keyboard looks matte even on my 4+ years old machine."
HP claims: HP DuraKeys are 50 times more resistant to wear than keys without this protection.
Do all premium HP notebooks have DuraKeys?? All EliteBooks??

Is HP the only brand available, if one doesn't want the keyboard to look old and worn after some typing?

So in used keyboards HP beats ThinkPad 50-1?

Why this got Connectivity 37  score while one of the pros in summary is "healthy port selection for the size"?

HP EliteBook Ultra G1i 14 with almost identical ports got Connectivity 73 score.

I think this is a typo and should be 37->73 which may raise overall score significantly.
