HP ZBook 14u G6 14″ Mobile Workstation i5 8TH GEN

Processor (CPU)

• Model: Intel Core i5-8265U

• Cores/Threads: 4 cores / 8 threads

• Base Clock Speed: 1.6 GHz

• Turbo Boost Speed: Up to 3.9 GHz

• Cache: 6 MB SmartCache

• TDP: 15W

Performance Note:
This 8th Gen processor is part of Intel’s ultra-low voltage (U-series) line, meaning it’s optimized for power efficiency rather than raw power. Suitable for office tasks, light multimedia editing, software development, and multitasking.

🧠 Memory (RAM)

• Size: 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB)

• Speed: 2400 MHz

• Expandable: Yes, up to 32GB using 2 SODIMM slots

💾 Storage

• Type: PCIe NVMe Solid State Drive (SSD)

• Capacity: 256GB

Performance Note:
NVMe SSDs offer significantly faster boot times and file transfers than traditional HDDs or SATA SSDs. 256GB is good for OS, applications, and some data, but might feel limiting for heavy users — expandable via M.2 slot.
