HP ZBook X G2i: Intel Panther Lake, Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell 64GB and 120 Hz display

HP has finally started selling a new 16-inch laptop featuring ZBook X G2i processors. Also equipped with Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell graphics and 64 GB of RAM, the ZBook X G2i comes with a massive 96 Wh battery and an optional 120 Hz display.

HP has quietly released the ZBook X G2i featuring Intel Panther Lake processors and Nvidia RTX Pro Blackwell graphics. To recap, the 16-inch laptop launched at the end of March. While the company revealed how the laptop surpassed the existing ZBook X G1i we reviewed last year (curr. $2,659 on Amazon), it refrained from confirming how much the ZBook X G2i would cost.

Intel® Core™ Ultra Processor...Unleash power-efficient performance with Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processors (Series 3).3 This CPU with up to Intel Arc Pro graphics and dedicated Copilot+ NPU unlocks new levels of performance for the next era of AI-enhanced software and greatly increases efficiency for productivity tasks.

Now, HP has revealed that the ZBook X G2i costs a minimum of $3,609 in the US. As far as we can tell, the new laptop has not yet reached other markets like the Eurozone or the UK. Currently, HP has listed seven SKUs priced up to $10,431, which are as follows:
