HP ProBook 4 G1i AI PC FAQ
1. What is an “AI PC,” and why should I buy one in Kenya?
An AI PC, like the HP ProBook 4 G1i, features a dedicated NPU (Neural Processing Unit). Unlike traditional laptops that rely on the cloud, an AI PC processes tasks like background noise removal, live video blurring, and AI-assisted coding locally on the device. This means faster performance, better privacy, and significantly longer battery life because the main CPU isn’t doing the heavy lifting.
2. Can I upgrade the RAM and SSD on the HP ProBook 4 G1i?
Yes. One of the biggest advantages of the ProBook series for Kenyan businesses is its longevity. This model comes with 16GB DDR5 RAM, but it features two SODIMM slots, allowing you to upgrade up to 48GB. The 512GB NVMe SSD is also replaceable, making it easy to expand your storage as your data needs grow.
3. Is the HP ProBook 4 G1i better than the ProBook 450 G10?
The G1i is the “Next-Gen” successor. While the G10 uses 13th Gen Intel chips, the G1i uses the Ultra 5 225U (Series 2). The primary difference is the AI Boost NPU and the shift to a 16:10 aspect ratio display, which gives you more vertical space for Excel sheets and documents compared to the older 16:9 standard on the G10.
4. How long does the battery last on a full charge?
Thanks to the power-efficient Ultra 5 processor, you can expect between 10 to 12 hours of typical office use. It also supports HP Fast Charge, which can juice up the battery from 0% to 50% in just 30 minutes—perfect for staying productive during unexpected power shifts in Nairobi.
5. Does it come with Windows 11 Pro installed?
This specific unit (CT1G8ET) comes with FreeDOS. This allows us at Buytec Stores to offer it at a more competitive price point. However, we can assist you with a genuine Windows 11 Pro license and installation at our shop at The Bazaar Plaza to ensure your AI features like Microsoft Copilot are fully active.
