No, this specific model (ZBook 8 G2i) does not feature a touchscreen.
Can I upgrade the internal memory?
The device features two SO-DIMM slots; please refer to the technical service manual for specific compatibility if you choose to upgrade beyond the factory configuration.

The NPU (Neural Processing Unit) allows the computer to perform AI-specific tasks—like background removal in video calls or data analysis—locally, which saves battery life and improves responsiveness.
Is this laptop suitable for gaming?
While it features a discrete GPU and high processing power, it is optimized as a workstation for professional applications, not as a dedicated gaming laptop.

The ZBook 8 includes a 77 Wh battery, designed for professional, long-lasting productivity, though actual runtime varies based on specific software usage and screen brightness settings.
Troubleshooting
Wi-Fi connection is unstable in high-traffic areas
Ensure you are using the latest drivers for the Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE211 controller via the official HP support portal.
System feels warm during heavy rendering tasks
Ensure the dual cooling vents on the sides and bottom are not blocked by fabrics or soft surfaces; elevate the back of the laptop for improved airflow.
Camera AI features are not appearing in software
Verify that Poly Camera Pro is installed and updated, and check that Windows Studio Effects are enabled in the camera settings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial setup of the Windows 11 Pro operating system involves following the standard Microsoft Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE). Ensure you perform a full system update via the HP Support Assistant to optimize drivers and BIOS firmware.
Regarding compatibility, the device supports a wide range of enterprise peripherals via its modern port configuration. For cleaning, use a soft, lint-free cloth and avoid liquid cleaners directly on the chassis. The spill-resistant keyboard is meant for minor accidents; if a spill occurs, allow the liquid to drain through the designated base holes and power off the device immediately to prevent short circuits.
