Global Launch of New Convertible Laptop

HP is now selling a new 13-inch convertible laptop worldwide. For context, the company announced the EliteBook 8 G2 series over two months ago in many sizes, form factors and processor variants. Incidentally, the EliteBook 8 G2i 13 is already available to buy in multiple countries at this point.

Comparisons with the Previous Model

By contrast, HP’s new 13-inch convertible replaces the EliteBook 8 Flip G1i 13, as we reviewed in September 2025 featuring Intel’s Arrow Lake-U platform. According to our benchmarks, this SKU performs better than the EliteBook 8 Flip G2i 13’s entry-level model. While the Core Ultra 5 322 only contains 6 cores, HP also offers the convertible with some other Panther Lake processors available.

Processor Options and UK Configurations

For instance, the EliteBook 8 Flip G2i 13 starts with the Core Ultra 7 355 in Germany and the UK, which easily runs faster than the older Core Ultra 7 265U. Also, the UK has received Core Ultra 7 356H SKUs with 16 CPU cores and up to 64 GB of RAM memory. The moderately more powerful Core Ultra 7 366H is available in the US too, as are 24 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB RAM combos.

Moreover, HP sells the EliteBook 8 Flip G2i 13 with optional NFC and 5G connectivity (MediaTek T700), up to 2 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage and a 62 Wh battery across all SKUs they offer. Currently, the convertible can be purchased with a choice of five displays also. Although all are 1200p and 60 Hz IPS panels, some peak at 800 nits brightness with 100% sRGB colour space coverage. Pricing starts at $3,128 in the US, €2,539 in the Eurozone and £1,520 in the UK with different specifications depending on the model.
