HP has launched a range of new AI laptops in its 2025 amplify event with a large number of new brands.
The company’s 800 series is now Elitebook 8, and the 600 series is now Elitebook 6 (both systems come in sizes of 13, 14 and 16 inches).
The 400 series is now probook 4 (in sizes of 14 and 16 inches). Zbook Firefly is now the ZBook 8 G1I (Intel) and G1A (AMD), Zbook Power is now the Zbook X G1I, Elite Mini/Sff/Tower is now elitedesk and elite Aio is now elitestium. Clear?
Easy to understand
At the beginning of the year, Dell decided that the arrival of the AI era meant that it was time for a new beginning, and when debuting a new professional range of laptops, he said goodbye to the beloved brand of latitude, which was first introduced in 1994.
However, the ax that swayed there. The company also debuted a new Pro Max Mobile Workstation family, which replaced the 32 -year precision brand. Intel, who finally has a new CEO, has also been playing the name game recently to try to clarify things for customers.
While HP’s brand change is not as important as Dell (it is also worth noting that more people will be familiar with the latitude and precision marks of Dell that any of the HP brands), is still another great change for consumers to get head. At least it is simple enough.
If you want an elitebook 8 G1 series laptop, you can differentiate between models by size (13, 14, 16), processor (G1I for Intel or G1A for AMD), and regular AI and AI models (which offer different tops). Once you know what it is, you can quickly detect the difference between the HP elitebook 8 G1A 13 ”Next Gen AI and the HP elite BOOD 8 G1I 16”.
Is it the totally necessary brand change? That is a matter of debate.
“We took a very conventional and pragmatic approach,” said Tom Butler, Executive Director of Commercial Portfolio and Lenovo Product Management Notebook.
“There is a serial name for our ThinkPad products, such as the T series, the series L or the E series, with screen sizes in the product name for clarity: T14, T16, etc. to keep it logical and help people to follow up, we also put a generational name later. At this time, we are not making changes in our direction. Consumers.”
