Product Overview

The 14″ ZBook 14u G5 Mobile Workstation from HP delivers workstation-class power to a portable form factor for executives who are on the go. This system is powered by a 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5-8350U Quad-Core processor, which allows you to run multiple applications simultaneously and power through tasks such as spreadsheets, CAD, Adobe, and Autodesk applications. If you need more power, the system can be overclocked to 3.6 GHz using Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 technology. The 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM  helps to ensure smooth multitasking and also allows the computer to quickly access frequently used files and programs.

Intel Core i5-8350U

The Intel Core i5-8350U is a power-efficient quad-core SoC for notebooks and Ultra books based on the Kaby Lake Refresh generation. Contrary to its direct predecessor the Core i5-5300U, which was still dual-cores, the i5-8350U is equipped with four cores at a base frequency of 1.7 GHz. The Turbo Boost can go up to 3,6 GHz and therefore also offer good short-term single core speeds. The GPU is now named Intel UHD Graphics 620. The integrated memory controller supports DDR4-2400 / LPDDR3-2133 and dual channel memory.

Display

The 14″ UWVA IPS anti-glare display features a Full HD 1920 x 1080 native resolution, LED backlighting, and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 3100 graphics card has 2GB of discrete GDDR5 memory and delivers a sharp, clear picture. You’ll also be able to output video to an external display at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 using the system’s DisplayPort 1.2 output by way of Thunderbolt 3, as well as HDMI. Up to three independent displays are supported.

Storage and Connectivity

For storage of your files, this ZBook 14u G5 is equipped with a 256GB NMVe PCIe M.2 SSD that uses Tri-Level Cell (TLC) flash memory. If you want to add external storage, optical drives, memory card readers, and more, the ZBook 14u G5 offers one 40 Gb/s Thunderbolt 3 port and two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one of which doubles as a charging port. Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11ac dual-band Wi-Fi (2×2) are built-in for wired and wireless networking and Bluetooth 4.2 technology will also allow you to connect additional compatible peripherals. Other integrated features include a 720p webcam with near-infrared (IR) imaging to authenticate and unlock Windows devices, as well as your Microsoft Passport account using Windows Hello face authentication, dual-array microphones, stereo speakers with Bang & Olufsen HD audio, a smart card reader, and Near Field Communications (NFC).

More Features

The ZBook 14u G5 includes an Elite Services card, a 65W AC adapter that operates using 90-265 VAC at 47-63 Hz, and an HP Long Life 3-cell / 50Wh lithium-ion polymer battery that supports HP Fast Charge that can recharge up to 50% in 30 minutes when the system is off or in standby and last for up to 10 hours before recharging is required.

Thunderbolt 3

Thunderbolt 3 is a hardware interface that utilizes the reversible USB Type-C connector. Doubling the speed of its predecessor, Thunderbolt 3 features a maximum bi-directional throughput of 40 Gb/s when used with compatible devices. The connector also transmits data via USB 3.1 at up to 10 Gb/s, and dual-bandwidth DisplayPort 1.2 allows you to simultaneously connect two 4K displays or one 5K display. Additionally, you can daisy chain up to six devices from a single Thunderbolt 3 port.

USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A Ports

This ZBook 14u G5 features two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports that will allow you to connect external peripherals such as additional storage, optical drives, printers, memory card readers, and more. One of the USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports also doubles as an always-on charging port for compatible USB devices.

Gigabit Ethernet & Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)

The system uses a Gigabit Ethernet controller for Internet access when connected to a router, modem, or network switch. It also features Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 which is compatible with 802.11a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi so that users may access network connectivity using wireless technology.

Bluetooth 4.2

Additional compatible peripherals, such as mice, keyboards, headsets, and more may be paired using Bluetooth 4.2 technology.

Up to 32GB of Memory

While this system natively includes 8GB of 2400 MHz DDR4 RAM, it can be upgraded to a maximum of 32GB when 16GB memory modules are used in each of the system’s 260-pin SO-DIMM slots.

DisplayPort with MST (Multi-stream Transport)

Supports resolutions up to Ultra HD 3840 x 2160, 24- and 30-bit color depth at 60 Hz, and WUXGA (1920 x 1200) monitors, with 24- and 30-bit color depth up to 120 Hz.

Multi-stream Transport (MST)

Multi-stream Transport is a DisplayPort 1.2 feature that allows daisy chaining of DisplayPort 1.2 monitors (requires monitor with DisplayPort 1.2 MST capability), or the use of DisplayPort 1.2 hubs with MST to achieve a maximum of three active displays, which includes the integrated 14″ display.

Smart Card Reader

The integrated smart card reader is compatible with ISO 7816 compliant smart cards with PC/SC interface support.

Near Field Communications (NFC)

Near Field Communications (NFC) is a set of communication protocols that enable two electronic devices, one of which is usually a portable device such as a smartphone, to establish communication by bringing them within 1.6″ of each other. NFC devices are used in contactless payment systems, similar to those used in credit cards and electronic ticket smartcards and allow mobile payment to replace/supplement these systems. This is sometimes referred to as NFC/CTLS (Contactless) or CTLS NFC. NFC is used for social networking, for sharing contacts, photos, videos, or files. NFC-enabled devices can act as electronic identity documents and keycards. NFC offers a low-speed connection with simple setup that can be used to bootstrap more capable wireless connections.
