HP has introduced its updated ZBook Fury G1i 18, a powerful 18-inch mobile workstation aimed at professionals who need desktop-class performance in a portable form factor. With high-end Intel Core Ultra HX processors, NVIDIA RTX Pro Blackwell graphics, massive memory support, and a fast 165 Hz display, this laptop is clearly built for demanding creative, engineering, AI, and enterprise workloads.
At launch, HP is currently offering the ZBook Fury G1i 18 with the Intel Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus processor. The entry configuration starts at $7,033 and includes 32 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and an NVIDIA RTX Pro 1000 Blackwell Generation laptop GPU with 8 GB of VRAM.
For users who need more graphics power and storage, HP also lists a higher configuration with the same Core Ultra 7 270HX Plus processor, an NVIDIA RTX Pro 2000 Blackwell Generation GPU with 8 GB of VRAM, and a 1 TB SSD. This version is priced from $8,045.
The workstation is also expected to be available with Intel’s Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor. This chip should offer a noticeable performance uplift, with HP positioning it as a stronger option for users who need maximum CPU power for heavy multitasking, rendering, simulation, software development, and other intensive professional tasks.
One of the biggest strengths of the HP ZBook Fury G1i 18 is its expandability. HP confirms that the laptop can be configured with up to 128 GB of ECC memory or up to 192 GB of non-ECC RAM, depending on the user’s needs. Storage is equally impressive, with support for up to 10 TB spread across four SSDs, making it suitable for large media libraries, complex project files, 3D assets, datasets, and professional production environments.
Graphics options also scale well beyond the base models. The ZBook Fury G1i 18 can be equipped with up to an NVIDIA RTX Pro 5000 Blackwell Generation laptop GPU featuring 24 GB of VRAM. That makes it a serious option for professionals working with 3D rendering, AI workflows, CAD, visual effects, virtual production, and GPU-accelerated applications.
Every configuration includes a large 99 Wh battery, which is the maximum capacity commonly allowed for air travel. HP also equips the workstation with an 18-inch display offering a 165 Hz refresh rate, giving users a smoother visual experience whether they are working with motion-heavy content, reviewing 3D models, or simply navigating demanding applications.
With its combination of Intel Core Ultra Plus processors, NVIDIA RTX Pro Blackwell graphics, huge memory capacity, multi-SSD storage support, and a large high-refresh-rate screen, the HP ZBook Fury G1i 18 is designed for users who need uncompromising workstation performance without moving to a traditional desktop setup. Its premium pricing reflects its professional focus, but for power users who rely on speed, reliability, and upgrade flexibility, HP’s latest 18-inch mobile workstation is shaping up to be one of the most capable laptops in its class.
