The mobile workstation space is currently undergoing a transformation. Performance is no longer just about brute force, it’s about smart silicon, AI acceleration, and doing more in even slimmer, lighter designs. I’ve been test-driving HP’s new ZBook Ultra G1a 14, a relatively thin-and-light 14-inch laptop that combines portability with workstation-grade capabilities and a rather forward-looking processor known as AMD’s Ryzen AI Max+ PRO 395, aka Strix Halo.
