HP ProBook 4 G1i 16 Core Ultra 5-225U, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD (CT1G8ET) – HP’s Next-Generation 16-Inch AI Business Laptop
The HP ProBook 4 G1i 16 (CT1G8ET) is a 16-inch business AI PC and the successor to the ProBook 460 G11 under HP’s new naming system. It moves up to the Intel Core Ultra 5-225U (Series 2), which reaches up to 4.8GHz and includes an 11 TOPS NPU for on-device AI features in Windows 11 and Microsoft Copilot. In addition, 16GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD give it headroom for heavy multitasking across a full working day.
Furthermore, the laptop upgrades its connectivity with two USB Type-C ports at 20Gbps, both supporting Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4. Meanwhile, the 16-inch WUXGA IPS display keeps the practical 16:10 layout, and HP Sure Click with Wolf Security protects against harmful attachments. It ships with FreeDOS, so you can load your own licensed Windows. As a result, it suits Kenyan businesses in Westlands, Karen and Kisumu that want current-generation hardware for a multi-year refresh.
