HP EliteBook 850 G8 — i7-1185G7 vPro / 8GB / LTE

The i7-1185G7 vPro is Intel's top-tier 11th Gen mobile business processor — featuring the Intel vPro platform for remote management, hardware-level security, and maximum single-thread performance. Paired with 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD, and built-in 4G LTE, this 850 G8 config is purpose-built for enterprise IT environments. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.

Why Choose the i7-1185G7 vPro Configuration?

• Intel vPro platform: Hardware-level remote management (Intel AMT), hardware-enforced security, and out-of-band manageability for enterprise IT.
• Top 11th Gen CPU: i7-1185G7 runs up to 4.8GHz boost — fastest single-thread performance in the 11th Gen Tiger Lake mobile lineup.
• Built-in 4G LTE: Nano SIM slot for mobile broadband — stay connected without relying on external hotspots.
• Intel Iris Xe graphics: Best-in-class 11th Gen integrated GPU — handles 4K video, light creative work, and AI-accelerated tasks.

• Windows 11 Pro: Full enterprise OS with BitLocker, Remote Desktop, Hyper-V, and domain join.

Performance in Use

The i7-1185G7 is the fastest Tiger Lake processor in the 850 G8 lineup. At 4.8GHz boost clock, CPU-intensive tasks — compiling, financial modelling, video transcoding, and simulation — complete faster than any other non-H-class 11th Gen chip. The Intel Iris Xe GPU (96 execution units) also handles light graphics work and 4K output confidently.

The vPro platform is specifically valuable for IT departments managing fleets of devices. Intel AMT enables remote BIOS-level management, out-of-band diagnostics, and remote wipe/recovery — even if the OS is unresponsive. This makes the 1185G7 config a preferred choice for corporate IT deployments.

The EliteBook 850 G8 platform delivers MIL-STD-810H certified durability, HP Wolf Security (Sure Start BIOS protection, Sure Click browser isolation), fingerprint reader, and IR camera for Windows Hello — all standard. One-cable Thunderbolt 4 docking, HP Fast Charge (50% in 30 minutes), and a backlit keyboard complete the business toolkit.
