At its 2025 Amplify Conference in Nashville, Tenn., HP announced a wide range of new consumer and commercial laptops, some of which I saw in person prior to their unveilings. I spent a little time with one of HP's mightiest, head-turning products: the ZBook Fury G1i, available now for the first time in a giant 18-inch size.

HP's Fury brand is one of the most potent workstation lines around—see our reviews of laptops like the ZBook Fury 16 G11. We saw refreshed AMD Ryzen-based ZBook systems announced at CES 2025 earlier this year; in the case of this big new Fury, the “i” in the product name denotes Intel processing, and these "Arrow Lake" chips will combine with Nvidia's fresh professional RTX Pro 5000 GPUs, based on its new “Blackwell” architecture.

This should be an extremely potent combination, not to mention my first look at a laptop packing an RTX Pro 5000 (just revealed at Nvidia's GTC show), in contrast to the gaming-centric GeForce RTX 50 series. Read on for a closer look and my impressions of this super-sized mobile workstation.

When you're talking about this class of workstation laptop, the word “mobile” mainly differentiates it from a dedicated desktop. Of course, you can take any laptop with you when you leave your home or office, but "mobile" doesn’t mean particularly portable, in this case: The Fury G1i's new 18-inch screen option precludes portability. (It's also available in a more manageable 16-inch size.)
