HP ZBook Ultra G3a (2026)
A 16-inch mobile workstation built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 495 chip, pairing up to 192GB of unified memory with a thin 17.9mm aluminum chassis so local AI workloads and CAD apps can run without a discrete GPU.
Pros
- Up to 192GB of unified memory lets it run local AI models with as many as 300 billion parameters
- OLED display option with 120Hz refresh and 500-nit brightness
- Thin, light chassis for a mobile workstation at 17.9mm and about 1.9kg
- 180W GaN charger reaches 50% charge in 30 minutes
- Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports plus Wi-Fi 7 and an optional 5G option
Cons
- Integrated graphics only, with no discrete GPU option for CUDA-dependent workloads
- HP has priced only a lower-spec 192GB/512GB/FHD reference build ($7,449, via its own online calculator) — full retail pricing for the tested 2TB/OLED configuration is still unstated ahead of the October 2026 launch
- No fingerprint reader; biometric login relies solely on the IR camera
- Single M.2 slot leaves no room for a second internal drive
Very good
