Cyber Monday deals are already live, which means I’ve been scouring the web to find the best deals you should take advantage of if you’re in the market for a new PC right now. Frankly, I don’t think we’re going to find a more insane deal than this: 76% off HP’s ProBook 4 G1i making it over $3,059 off while stocks last!
Sunday, November 30th, at 2:51 PM ET: Price has been reduced further from $1,139 to $989.00, which is now 76% off its (arguably inflated) original price of $4,048. – Daniel Rubino, Editor-in-Chief
So, what’s so special about the HP ProBook 4 G1i that makes it usually worth $4,000? Well, it’s one of HP’s top of the line professional grade laptops. It’s usually designed for business use, featuring a large 16-inch 1080p display, paired with a full-sized keyboard and trackpad, complete with a number pad. It also comes with Windows 11 Pro instead of Home.
On the inside, it’s powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H, which is Intel’s latest laptop chips, paired with 32GB DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD storage, which will be more than enough for most people. This model also comes with dedicated graphics in the form of an NVIDIA RTX 3050 GPU, which is great for light gaming or creative work.
That Intel Core Ultra 7 has 16 cores and 16 threads, making it a powerhouse of a chip that will handle pretty much any task you throw at it. The best bit? It has two SODIMM slots, which means you can upgrade the 32GB RAM with your own sticks down the line, futureproofing it even further.
It also comes with all the ports, including a full-sized HDMI 2.1 port, two USB-A, two USB-C, a headphone jack, and an Ethernet port. It also has a fingerprint reader for quick logging in with Windows Hello.
Frankly, this laptop is now one I’d generally consider, given its usual price tag, but when it’s just $989, it’s suddenly very recommendable, given how much power and performance you’re getting. Plus, you can tell everyone your laptop costs $4,000, even though you didn’t have to pay that!
FAQ
What is the HP ProBook 4 G1i?
This is HP’s top of the line professional grade laptop. It’s designed for professionals who are conducting important business, data, or creative work, and is designed to be durable with a large display and plenty of power under the hood.
Why is it so expensive normally?
The ProBook 4 G1i packs an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H (16 cores, 16 threads), 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB SSD, and an NVIDIA RTX 3050 GPU. It’s essentially a workstation disguised as a laptop. It’s also aimed at enterprise, which typically pays more upfront for longer-term support instead of consumers, though there is no reason why a consumer can’t benefit from this laptop or deal.
Is the RAM upgradable?
Yes. It has two SODIMM slots, so you can swap or expand beyond the included 32GB, making it more future‑proof.
Can it handle gaming?
Light gaming, yes. The RTX 3050 GPU isn’t top‑tier, but it’s solid for casual play and creative workloads like video editing. A few years ago, the 3050 was your standard mid-range gaming GPU, so it should still be solid in 2025.
Who is this laptop really for?
Professionals who need serious horsepower (developers, creatives, analysts) but don’t want to pay workstation prices. With this Cyber Monday deal, it’s suddenly accessible to everyday buyers.
Is it worth buying at full price?
Honestly, no. At $4,000, it’s overkill for most. But at $989, it’s a rare chance to snag workstation‑level specs at consumer pricing.
