HP has released the ProBook 4 G2iS, a 14-inch laptop featuring Intel Wildcat Lake processors. The device is now available as a shipped product targeting thin-and-light professional use cases.
Why it matters
The release integrates Intel's latest mobile silicon into a portable, 1.18 kg chassis, providing a performance-focused option for professional mobile computing. This shift reflects the ongoing industry push to pack high-refresh-rate displays and high-speed memory into increasingly compact form factors.
The laptop utilizes LPDDR5x-6400 memory in configurations up to 32 GB and a 2,880 x 1,800 resolution display at 120 Hz. Its graphics performance is handled exclusively by Intel's integrated GPU, while total chassis thickness remains constrained to 12 mm.
The players
HP
A multinational technology company producing a comprehensive stack of enterprise and consumer computing hardware, printers, and workstation solutions.
Intel
A global semiconductor manufacturer focused on high-performance x86 architecture, integrated graphics engines, and mobile processor development.
The details
The ProBook 4 G2iS employs Intel Wildcat Lake processors to drive its high-density display. The system uses LPDDR5x — a low-power double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory designed for efficiency — to manage its 8 GB to 32 GB memory capacity. Physical connectivity is supported via two 10 Gbps Universal Serial Bus Type-C ports, with a 70 Wh battery providing the primary power source recharged by a 65 W adapter.
