HP EliteBook X G2i: One Kilo of Power Without Sacrificing Lightness

Published on May 23, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

HP presents the EliteBook X G2i, a professional laptop that defies conventional logic: weighing just 999 grams while delivering solid performance. With a magnesium chassis only 9 mm thick, this device aims to prove that extreme mobility doesn't mean sacrificing serious capabilities for daily work.

Panther Lake and Arc B390: Integrated Performance with Ambitions 🚀

Under the hood, the EliteBook X G2i features Intel Core Ultra X7 358H processors based on the Panther Lake architecture. The highlight is the integrated Arc B390 GPU, which in moderate graphics tasks can match some entry-level dedicated graphics cards. This enables light editing or multitasking without relying on an external card, though its true test lies in the thermal management of such a slim chassis.

Light as a Feather, But Don't Try Using It as a Coaster 😅

At 999 grams, you might think this laptop would fly away with a sneeze. But no, magnesium keeps it sturdy, though its 9 mm thickness invites checking if it fits in a pizza box. Ideal for the executive who wants to show off their laptop in the boardroom while the fan whispers: don't ask me to play Cyberpunk, I'll choke.
