The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q, launched in 2024, is HP's premium 14-inch business Copilot+ AI PC built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite Arm platform. The "q" denotes the Qualcomm build — this page covers the Snapdragon X Elite X1E-78-100 (12-core) model specifically, not the Intel G1i or the lower-tier Snapdragon X Plus G1q8. Wrapped in a recycled-aluminum Atmosphere Blue chassis, it pairs an integrated Adreno GPU and a 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU with class-leading battery life. Because chip tier, memory, and storage affect resale value, select your exact configuration using the tool above for an instant cash offer.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm my laptop is the G1q and not the G1i or G1q8?
Check the model name on the bottom regulatory label, or open Settings → System → About. The three look near-identical, so use these tells: the G1q runs a Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-78-100, 12 cores) with an LCD screen and no Thunderbolt; the G1q8 uses the lower Snapdragon X Plus (8 cores); the G1i is Intel-based with an OLED screen and Thunderbolt 4. Confirm the processor under About. Our guide to finding your laptop's model number walks through it.
02 Is the RAM upgradable on the EliteBook Ultra G1q?
No. The LPDDR5x memory is soldered to the board (on the Snapdragon package), so whatever it shipped with — 16GB or 32GB — is fixed. The SSD is the only user-serviceable storage component. Be sure to select your actual memory amount above, since it affects the offer.
03 Can I trade in a G1q with a cracked screen, dents, or that won't boot?
Yes. We buy laptops in all operational states — flawless, scratched, swollen battery, cracked panel, or dead. Reflect the condition honestly in the grading options above and we'll lock in a firm cash value.
04 Should I wipe the SSD or remove it before shipping?
Back up your files and sign out of your Microsoft and HP accounts before boxing it. You don't need to remove the M.2 SSD — our team runs certified, multi-pass data sanitization on every incoming drive. Review our data erasure protocols page for the full process.
05 Which configurations raise my G1q trade-in value the most?
A 32GB RAM configuration and a 1TB SSD are the biggest value drivers, followed by the 400-nit touch display option and clean cosmetic condition. Selecting your exact memory, storage, and display above returns your most accurate cash figure.
