The only warranties for HP products and services are set forth in the express warranty statements accompanying such products and services. Nothing herein should be construed as constituting an additional warranty. HP shall not be liable for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein.
- 1. As compared to running cloud models. Local AI capabilities, model support, tokens per second, and performance vary by model, configuration, software, and workload.
2. Multicore is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of this technology. Performance and clock frequency will vary depending on application workload and your hardware and software configurations. AMD ’s numbering is not a measurement of clock speed. Features and software that require an NPU may require software purchase, subscription or enablement by a software or platform provider, and third-party software may have specific configuration or compatibility requirements. Performance varies by use, configuration, and other factors.
3. Memory is an optional feature that must be configured at purchase. Up to 192GB unified system memory is available on select configurations. Memory speed varies by capacity: up to 8533 MT/s for 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB configurations, and up to 8000 MT/s for 128GB and 192GB configurations. Actual performance varies by configuration, application, workload, and other factors.
4. Features and software that require an NPU may require software purchase, subscription or enablement by a software or platform provider, and third-party software may have specific configuration or compatibility requirements. Performance varies by use, configuration, and other factors.
5. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 30GB (for Windows 10) of system disk is reserved for system recovery software.
6. Up to 81% (actual 81.8%) higher TDP compared to the ZBook Ultra G1a with a max TDP of 55W and ZBook Ultra G3a with a max TDP of 100W
7. Local AI capabilities, model support, tokens per second, and performance vary by model, configuration, software, and workload.
8. Savings estimates assume use of separately obtained local AI models. Local LLMs are not pre-installed on the HP ZBook Ultra and must be downloaded and installed independently.
9. Perplexity 30-day trial. Click on the Perplexity icon in the start menu or task bar to take advantage of a 30-day trial membership of select Perplexity products. Subscription required after expiration. Offer is tied to the device and is not transferrable. Offer subject to change without notice. See Perplexity for complete details. Perplexity features, connectors, and supported integrations vary by software, application version, and region.
10. Third-party software sold separately.
11. Based on HP’s internal analysis of currently available 16-inch thin performance mobile workstations from dedicated workstation brands, with a minimum of three ISV certifications and configurable professional graphics, as of August 2026. Most powerful is based on the highest combined maximum configurable processor, professional graphics, graphics memory, and system memory specifications. HP configuration used includes AMD Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 processor, Radeon unified memory professional GPU with 192 GB DDR5 system memory, and up to 160 GB total dedicated graphics memory (VRAM).
12. Up to 16.5 hours battery life with (MM30) and 96whr battery. Based on preliminary engineering estimates. Battery life will vary depending on the product model, configuration, loaded applications, features, use, wireless functionality, and power management settings. The maximum capacity of the battery will naturally decrease with time and usage. See MobileMark30 battery benchmark.
13. HP 5G module is optional and must be configured at the factory. Module designed for 5G NR NSA (non-standalone) networks as carriers deploy Evolved-Universal Terrestrial Radio Access New Radio Dual Connectivity (ENDC) with both 100Mhz of 5G NR and LTE channel bandwidth, using 256QAM 4x4 as defined by 3GPP. Module requires activation and separately purchased service contract. Check with service provider for coverage and availability in your area. Data connection, upload and download speeds will vary due to network, location, environment, network conditions, and other factors. Backwards compatible to 4G LTE and 3G HSPA technologies. 5G module planned to be available in select platforms and select countries, where carrier supported. HP Go is available as a separate subscription in North America, requires 5G and must be configured at the time of purchase on select HP commercial laptops and workstations.
14. Not all features are available in all editions or versions of Windows. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers, software, or BIOS update to take full advantage of Windows functionality. Windows 11 is automatically updated, which is always enabled. High speed internet and Microsoft account required. ISP fees may apply, and additional requirements may apply over time for updates.
