Based on the company’s March announcement, a total of six models will be are coming.
14-Inch Variant Hits Europe
Now, HP has started selling the EliteBook 8 G2i 14 across Europe. For context, the new 14-inch laptop replaces the Arrow Lake-based EliteBook 8 G1i ($1,475), rather than the AMD counterpart we reviewed in October 2025. Nonetheless, a new AMD model is on its way to receiving a global release too.

In comparison, HP has priced this configuration at €2,251 in the Eurozone. However, only a Core Ultra 7 355-powered SKU, priced at over €200 more, is orderable at the time of writing.
UK Options and Display Choices
