Differences between G10 and new G11 HP EliteBooks

New features in
HP EliteBook 800 G11

The following have been added in the latest generation HP EliteBook 800 series:

Intel Core Ultra

The biggest change for this generation is the new Intel Core Ultra series processor. This is based on the 12th and 13th gen Intel Core i series with the addition of Intel AI Boost (two Neural Computer Units), two new ultra-low power LP-e cores for better battery life during connected sleep, and updated graphics. 

Intel AI Boost

Intel Core Ultra U series processors have an advantage over 12th and 13th generation Intel Core i U processors for on-device AI activities. On-device AI solves the problems of network latency, cloud-service costs, and potential security issues associated with cloud-based AI workloads. This is a fast growing sector that to date has included live translation and transcription, live camera enhancement, noise reduction, and up to double the performance of cloud-based machine learning and generative AI. All Intel Core Ultra models feature 2x Neural Processing Units (NPUs). These are high speed, low power processors designed for rapid onboard parallel processing tasks used in machine learning and generative AI. Microsoft has released DirectML, the Windows 11 framework that allows software and application vendors to make use of on-device NPUs. 
A new CoPilot key replaces the right hand CTRL key on the new range.​

Poly Studio Audio

HP's investment in Poly has seen greater integration between the two companies. This includes upcoming wireless headset integrations that negate the need for dongles. It also brings audio tuning capabilities in-house. Because of this, Bang & Olufsen tuned speakers have been replaced with HP's own Poly Studio tuned speakers.

These are available with the choice of Intel Core Ultra 5-U or 7-U. This is a low voltage processor similar to processors in the EliteBook 830 G10 models that is optimised for long battery life and lightweight devices.
Both of these processors feature Intel AI Boost and use 2 Performance cores paired with 8 Efficiency cores. Intel Graphics is based on the Intel iRIS Xe graphics from G9 and G10. Anyone looking for the higher performance Intel Core Ultra H series can move up the chain to the HP EliteBook 840, 840 or 1000 series.

Like the 830, standard 840 and 860 models come with the Intel Core Ultra 5-U or 7-U with 2 Performance and 8 Efficiency cores. These models can also be configured with the more powerful Intel Core Ultra 5-H or 7-H. 
The Intel Core Ultra 5-H features 4 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores and 7 Xe-core Intel ARC graphics.
The highest performing Intel Core Ultra 7-H features 6 Performance cores, 8 Efficiency cores and 8 Xe-core Intel ARC graphics. Intel ARC graphics provide performance equivalent to entry-level dedicated graphics from NVIDIA. 
Teams wanting more power again can opt for upcoming ZBook mobile workstations, with heavy-duty models offering higher voltages for even greater performance from H series processors. 
​
The Intel Core Ultra H series replaces the 13th gen Intel Core i5 & i7 P series available in G10 models. The earlier P series did not support Intel Arc graphics, AI Boost, or LP-e cores. The Intel Core Ultra 7-H in particular has a performance boost over the i7-P with six instead of four Performance cores.

The EliteBook 830, 840 and 860 respectively offer the same overall features in three different sizes. The weight for the 830 starts at 1.28kg, 840 starts at 1.41kg and the 860 weighs from 1.71kg. The x360 830 starts at 1.31kg. All feature aluminium chassis. Users wanting ultralight devices can opt for the Dragonfly or EliteBook 1000 series.
Each closely resembles the G10 range. The 860 adds a numeric keypad - useful for finance teams. 

All standard screens are 16:10 aspect ratio at 1920 x 1200 resolution - the 16" model is well suited for easier accessibility at this resolution. Standard screen brightness has been increased for the 840 and 860 from 250 to 300 nits compared to the G10.

​The EliteBook 840 can be upgraded to a 2560 x 1200 IPS DreamColor display, and the EliteBook 860 can be upgraded to a premium OLED 2880 x 1600 resolution display, both running at up to 120Hz.

Two form factors -
Laptop or x360 2-in-1

Elite x360 830 - Laptop mode

Elite x360 830 - Presenter mode

Elite x360 830 - Tablet mode

The HP EliteBook 830, 840 and 860 are clamshell laptops.
​
The HP Elite x360 830 G11 is a 13.3" 2-in-1 hybrid with a 360 degree screen that flips from laptop to tablet PC with touch and Pen support for writing, drawing, presenting and annotating on-screen. This is well suited to exec teams, presenters, some creatives and strategy teams. Applications including Microsoft Whiteboard on Teams support collaborative whiteboarding from multiple devices on the same project.

The key difference from the G10 models is the upgrade from 13th gen Intel Core i U series processor to the new Intel Core Ultra 5 or 7 U series with AI Boost. AI Boost NPUs are designed for offloading certain AI workloads to allow the devices CPU and GPU to optimise application performances, while reducing battery drain.

Displays

Sure View reflect screen options
These are a switchable privacy filter option carried over from the EliteBook 800 G10.
When turned off, Sure View reflect displays are visible from all angles, looking similar to a standard display. Hitting the dedicated screen shutter key switches the screen to a narrow viewing angle - the user will see screen content when viewed head-on. Screen contents will be hidden from anyone off-centre and appear to be more mirror-like (as above). All Sure View options run at 1920 x 1200 resolution and may be available with touch screen or BrightView glossy options depending on model. 

BrightView or Anti-glare
This is HP's gloss display option, providing deeper blacks for higher contrast. Many teams opt for the matte Anti-glare alternative option to reduce reflections in office lighting environments.

Comparison of NTSC, Adobe RGB and sRGB colour gamuts relative to visible light spectrum.

100% sRGB vs 45% NTSC
Entry level screens are capable of displaying 45% of the NTSC colour gamut. Creative teams should opt for 100% sRGB options to enable production-ready colour management. As these are measured on different scales, we calculate 100% sRGB to be equal to or greater than 72% of the NTSC gamut (at least 60% more colours than the 45% NTSC entry-level screen).  Colour gamut limits are more noticeable for deeper and brighter colours. Dreamcolor and OLED options provide greater colour accuracy again with substantially greater contrast.

DreamColor & OLED
The 840 DreamColor and 860 OLED options are recommended for users creating Full HD content - their higher resolutions enable unzoomed content to be edited in software including Photoshop and Powerpoint while displaying application toolbars. These options are equivalent to those available on G10 models, providing a high quality alternative to full-workstations for content creators. OLED screens effectively provide unlimited contrast given the display's pixels emit light directly instead of shuttering a backlight, and provide the greatest colour performance currently available on a laptop. Dark themes for applications including Outlook, Photoshop & Windows 11 can help decrease battery drain for OLED displays. 

Security

HP has upgraded its Endpoint Security Controller chip with a claim of providing protection from quantum computer hacks. HP is now offering an expanded suite of security tools under the Wolf brand. Depending on model this can include remote wipe, device tracking, threat detection, and reporting tools.
