The HP EliteBook Ultra G1q8 is the entry-tier Qualcomm build of HP's 14-inch business AI PC, powered by the Snapdragon X Plus X1P-42-100 (8-core) Arm processor. It shares the same Atmosphere Blue chassis as its siblings but sits below the G1q (which uses the higher 12-core Snapdragon X Elite) and differs entirely from the Intel G1i. Like the other Snapdragon models it's a Copilot+ PC with a 45 TOPS NPU and long battery life.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm my laptop is the G1q8 and not the G1q or G1i?
Open Settings → System → About and read the processor. The G1q8 lists a Snapdragon X Plus (X1P-42-100, 8 cores); the G1q lists the higher Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-78-100, 12 cores); the G1i lists an Intel Core Ultra chip and has an OLED screen with Thunderbolt 4. The processor string is the clearest tell. Our guide to finding your laptop's model number can help.
02 Is the RAM upgradable on the EliteBook Ultra G1q8?
No. The LPDDR5x memory is soldered onto the Snapdragon package, so the 16GB it shipped with is fixed. Only the SSD is user-serviceable. Confirm your memory amount above, since it affects the offer.
03 Can I trade in a G1q8 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 G1q8 trade-in value the most?
A 1TB SSD, the 400-nit touch display option, and clean cosmetic condition are the main value drivers on this entry-tier model. Selecting your exact storage and display above returns your most accurate cash figure.
