HP EliteBook Ultra G1Q Laptop Review
Design & Build
The HP EliteBook Ultra G1Q laptop is reminiscent of the MacBook Air design, although not quite as thin at the front end. The 18mm super-slim profile looks incredible and gives the instant feel of a laptop that is designed to be carried around. You would be forgiven for thinking that the thin frame would mean a lack of strength, but this is not the case. The aluminium chassis delivers all the toughness required for a laptop that is going to be thrown into a bag and used here, there and everywhere.
