    HP launches 14-inch laptop with 64GB RAM, cellular, 120Hz OLED display worldwide

    Key Takeaway

    – HP launched the EliteBook X G2a with Ryzen AI 400 series CPUs, starting at $3,105 (64-bit Windows 11 Pro included) and configurable up to high-end specs, including 64 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD.
    – The same model is available in UK, Eurozone, and US with analogous configurations and prices, staggered by region; notable top-spec options include Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, 64 GB RAM, 1 TB PCIe Gen 5 storage, and an OLED 1200p display.
    – The EliteBook X G2a offers add-ons such as a haptic trackpad, NFC, and optional 5G connectivity, with regional variations in display options (OLED in some markets) and a notable price disparity compared to the older X G1a.

    HP has quietly started selling one of its latest 14-inch laptops powered by AMD Ryzen AI 400 processors. Announced during CES 2026 in January, the EliteBook X G2a was joined by the Snapdragon X2-based EliteBook X G2q, too. Incidentally, the latter has now gone on sale globally as well, full details of which we have covered separately.

    Pricing and availability

    By default, the Elitebook X G2a starts at $3,105 with the Ryzen AI 5 435, 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage. This pricing includes a Windows 11 Pro licence though, which can be swapped with FreeDOS for a $250 saving. Nonetheless, the EliteBook X G2a is significantly more expensive than the EliteBook X G1a that we reviewed in early 2025 (curr. $1,199 on Amazon).

    Regional pricing

    By contrast, the same configuration costs £1,535 in the UK. Configurations range up to £3,323 with a Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 470, 64 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 1800p (2.8K) Tandem OLED display featuring a 120 Hz refresh rate. Meanwhile, HP lists the EliteBook X G2a in the Eurozone with the same processor for €4,119 but 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD and a 1200p IPS display.

    US options

    The company offers similar configurations in the US, too. At the time of writing, the EliteBook X G2a can be purchased there with the Ryzen AI 9 PRO HX 470, 64 GB of RAM, 1 TB of PCIe Gen 5 storage and the same OLED display as in the UK. A haptic trackpad, NFC and 5G cellular connectivity can be added too, but for a total price of $6,975 at the time of writing. Please see HP’s website for more details.
