Across industries, AI is changing the business landscape. With AI tools integrated directly into devices, PCs that leverage on-device AI processing can speed workflows while enhancing security.¹ Equipping your team with systems purpose-built for AI, such as HP EliteBook X G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PCs, can boost their productivity. At Principled Technologies, we put three PCs to the test: an HP EliteBook X G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC powered by an AMD Ryzen™ AI 9 HX PRO 375 processor, a Dell™ Pro 14 Premium laptop powered by an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 268V processor with Intel vPro®, and a Lenovo® ThinkPad X9 14 Gen 1 laptop powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 268V processor with Intel vPro. Our results show that the HP EliteBook X G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC achieved higher performance in productivity and AI workloads. Additionally, with long-lasting battery life, easy-toreplace parts, a built-in AI assistant, and useful privacy features, this AI PC could be the key to getting more out of your workdays—now and into the AI powered future.
We equipped three PCs with Windows 11 Pro, 32 GB of memory, and 512 GB of SSD storage:*
To measure productivity and on-device AI performance, we ran these benchmark tests:
Cinebench 2024
Geekbench 6
PassMark PerformanceTest 11
LM Studio
Procyon® AI Computer Vision Benchmark
Our testing also examined battery life in two power modes. Additionally, as the devices ran a sustained Cinebench 2024 workload, we measured their sound and heat output. We also assessed each system’s privacy features, serviceability, and built-in AI assistants.
