- A clean and subtle chassis, a smooth 120 Hz screen, all the ports and pretty insane AMD-powered performance. This pretty much sums up the latest business notebook from the folks over at HP. With a great overall impression, it might even be an excellent choice for everyone looking for a sleek, all-purpose laptop.

Just got one of these from work. Great review, looks like the company made a good choice.
Congrats, I guess it could be a lot worse than getting this one for work! ;)
Elitebook doesnt have too much reviews online, much more on youtube. Great job on this honest review. Styl issue, that when you go for Intel version you get worse display than with AMD.
I got the EliteBook 835 G10 7840U with 32GB, 5G and installed Samsung 990 Pro 2TB, as an upgrade to my G8 835 5850U 16GB/1TB. The difference is definitely there and my preferred Linux distro Opensuse Tumbleweed got all things working out of box. Really loving it, but I definitely miss the ThinkPad essence, but that one was costing much more (T14s or similar).
What is the "ThinkPad" essence in your opinion?
@@NotebookcheckReviews :) The build quality (EliteBook is good but not on par) and the feel, the trackpoint and the best keyboard.
haha got it! ;)
I am currently a 855G8 user and thinking of upgrading to 845G10. Having a 2k screen option in this generation is a deal breaker for me.
is your Elitebook with the 7840U quiet or are the fans annoying?
Excellent review as always!
Thanks for watching!
This e-light book looks solid
:D I messed that up, didn't I?!
Hello, thanks for this review, couldn't find many on this model. I'm considering Lenovo T14s and HP EliteBook 845 G10, both with Ryzen 7840U., WQXGA. I am specifically worried about the hinge sticking out at the base after opening the lid by more than 90 degrees and resting that sharp edge on my lap. How is this laptop in this regard? I believe Lenovo's design enables its base to flatly rest on the lap. Wanted to be sure before going for the HP laptop. Thanks!
I got the 16gb ryzen 5 spec for work and while i think it's excellent, the fan turns on even doing light work and is really audible. It also feels incredibly heavy for its size. I'm especially liking the keyboard though, as i have a butterfly keyboard mbp for personal use.
Nice review 👍 also please share a link for the wallpapers you use :)
Thank you! I got the wallpaper from unsplash.com
Just look for "abstract wallpaper"
Great review with the fan noise tests and the Link to the Ryzen 7 7840U DE Review! But one information is missing, which you'll also never find in any technical specs: How wide can the display be opened? 180 degrees? Thanks & keep it up!
We usually have this information in our written review:
www.notebookcheck.net/HP-EliteBook-845-G10-review-The-almost-perfect-business-laptop-with-AMD-Zen4.741264.0.html
It is 180 degrees for the HP!
Thanks for watching!
@@NotebookcheckReviews Thanks a lot, I only read the German version of the review where this information and also the photos of the fully opened display are missing ;-)
@@NotebookcheckReviews I just recognized that i mixed up the Ryzen 7 & Pro 9 Reviews because I prefer the 7840U Version and there is the Information about the scrren opening angle missing which is absolutely fine, because it's just a follow up to the original review of the Ryzen 9 :-) So it was my fault to not read both reviews - Sorry!
Do you know if the Elitebook 840 G10 1360p model is better when it comes to fan noise? Could get one very cheap "used" (amost new).
I just sold an Elitebook 840 G9 1260p because the fan was annoying (sure view display too).
Thank you for your review. Is it possible to install Kali on this?
I am afraid I do not know!
where can i find the wallpaper on this hp laptop
I think this with the 7840u would be the perfect system but sadly they sell with the worst possible screen which has 250nits and 45% ntsc
I have this laptop, its temperature rises very high, it reached 93 degrees during the stress test, and I stopped the test so that it does not get hotter, now I am going to change the silicone paste to see if it will improve or not.Of course, maybe the problem is with the fan, which has a very low speed until the temperature reaches 60 degrees, as if it is turned off
Ryzen CPUs run pretty hot this year but are rated for these temps. The ceiling should be 95C, at this point, it will start to throttle, which is quite the expected behaviour for such thin machines.
@@NotebookcheckReviewsThank you for your response. So there is no need to worry
Does the 2 stick of RAM also increase the render speed in Blender Radeon HIP GPU only mode?
Unfortunately, we have no data about this! Sorry
Hi, what version of the bios was used for the review? Am wondering if you could check power consumption at idle with the latest version of the bios?
I have this laptop with the 7940HS, low power display and love almost everything about it, except that I'm struggling with insanely high power draw at idle.
The CPU alone draws 4w even at idle, which destroys battery life as base power draw is over 5w for the entire system at min brightness, airplane mode.
Was PCI Express Active-State Power Management disabled on your machine? Use the powercfg slash energy command to check.
There are others struggling with this problem as well which seems to even affect the 7840U version, and I'm not sure if HP is even aware of it.
Unfortunately, I no longer have access to our review sample, but you can check our measured power consumption in our written review in the power management section.

Some reviews mentioned the loud fan noise all over the cpus with HS and not the U cpus. Can you relate to this idea? Is your 7940HS as loud as in the video?
@@TheNudel34Its definitely quite loud once you stress it by running a benchmark, compiling code or doing anything intensive. I've since returned the laptop though because I had so many issues with it and have replaced it with a ThinkPad P16s Gen 2 AMD. The chassis is really not big enough to effectively cool a 7940HS.
Notebook check review implied that the 7840 version was a better value for money was that your thoughts as well or did that depend more on the configuration that was supplied for testing? Also I was wondering the what the dimensions were for this laptop, what was on the reviews have it being slightly bigger than what HP had on there site but I don't know if it varied between configurations?
The measurments should all be the same, so I would trust our a little more since we actually do measure the devices ;)
And I think the 7840U is the sweetspot for the Elitebook.
Thanks that clears that up and helps the decision process :)

We have G8 and G9’s at work in both 13- and 14-inch configs. Every single one has an annoying fan. It runs constantly. So the office sounds like it is filled with small jet planes. I even had HP change my motherboard, cooler and fan three (!) times, but it still hot as a frying pan and loud as an F35.
I don’t know what HP pays our IT staff under the table, but it is good money…
Yikes, thanks for sharing your experience.
The g10 actually ran "fine" doing lighter office tasks, but the fan was indeed audible once you start pushing it.
Intel or AMD ? I thinks its Intel cause it hot!
@@sayedamiruddin5635 i7-1185G7. At least it keeps us warm during winter 🥵
you can disable the "always on fan" in BIOS ;-)
@@patrick.771 Yes, I know. Doesn’t make a difference.
The first brand who can make an XPS 15/17 replica with AMD inside will be raking in so much. Bonus points if it has Radeon GPU’s inside. The XPS is never going with AMD because of the fact that it’s an Intel project.
What would you hope to gain from the switch to AMD?
@@NotebookcheckReviews battery life and thermals mostly. Intel H series CPU’s over the years have been bad at this. And have been recorded going high in temperature. So why not AMD? USB4 is on the SoC anyways.
Well, our experience for 2023 have shown that an AMD Zen 4 CPU is not always a guarantee for longer battery life, and almost all Zen4 Chips run pretty hot. Even in the Elitebook the CPU hovers around the 100C mark.
I just got myself a HP EliteBook 845 G10 5Z545ES and plan to replace the 1x32GB with 2x16GB or just add another 1x32GB module.
Does the notebook run with DDR5 6400 CL38 (for a little better gaming performance) or should i just get another ddr5 5600 CL46 module even if 2x32GB is a bit overkill?
Heh for me it's not overkill. I even hope that it supports 96GB (2x48GB) which many DDR5 laptops do.
@@domantlen6231 I went with another 1x32GB module which means i have now 2x32GB 5600 CL46 in it. I also switched the 1TB SSD for a 4 TB Samung 990PRO.
BTW you cant install Windows with the standard MS iso because the WLAN module driver isnt included in it and Microsoft doesnt allow an install anymore without having internet access. So make sure you have the WLAN driver on a stick. You can input a cryptic command on the CLI (google helps with that) but after that you still dont have any internet access without a second computer.
After that i was so pissed i installed Linux. Thx HP you for curing me from the Microsoft disease. ;-)
So far the Notebook runs fine with EndeavorOS and everything working out of the box.
While the hardware is ok the overall build quality of the notebook is abysmal. Where the bottom plate fits into the rest theres a very sharp grate where you can cut yourself when lifting the notebook. In addition the bottom and the Display top bend very easily. When that happens the bottom plate makes cracking noises. And the upper edge of the display look like it was handforged or manualyl bent by someone.
Got the G8. The rubber feet are two triangular shapes of rubber covering most of the body widths. It’s painful to use on your lab. It has sharp edges all around. It’s so bad it can hardly be negligence, it looks like intentional.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
Same experience from the 840 G7. Genuinely, I took 220 grit sandpaper to the edges to bring them down as I seriously got a few cuts from it and got fed up. Uncomfortable to use as an actual laptop in my lap and I wonder how the G10 fares.
hello friend, thanks for your review, i really liked the wallpaper very much, can i have it please
QHD+ 🤦♂Its WQXGA (2560 × 1600)!
But its good that the manufactorers goes back to 16:10 or similiar office friendly aspect ratio.
Try saying that in a video a few times! ;)
And I would argue that a lot more people can do a lot more with QHD+ than with WQXGA ...
@@NotebookcheckReviews For me its the same. ;)
My Problem is that (W)QHD+ was used for different resolutions in the past (2880x1440, 3200x1800 or 3840x1600 (as WQHD+)) by the manufacturers. FullHD or WQHD are specific resolutions and Wide-QXGA is already there.
I mean they were able to fix the 4K issue. Now most of them use 4K UHD as a term. (4K was used by UHD TVs and 4K PC/Laptop displays at the same time for two different resolutions (3840x2160, 4096x2160).
Manufactured by Foxconn, CPU by AMD, what exactly did HP do?
Doubled the price and paid for marketing?
I want the wallpaper you used
I found it on unsplash.
Can only get the 250 nit 45% NTSC version in Australia. Such a shame.
Damn, for sure!
should be illegaly to sell those displays in 2023
Is it better than Zbook?
In the company I work for, they make them and don't treat them well, so you shouldn't be surprised if you find defects or details in them.
Nice
Why isn't the 120Hz model available in the UK? What's going on?
Unfortunately, we have no insight into availability!
EliteBooks don't have a 120Hz model as far as I am aware. Business notebooks benefit from refresh rates going down (thus decreasing power consumption and increasing battery life), not the other way around.
Waiting for the day HP incorporates a 1Hz-120Hz 4K display without sacrificing the camera or WWAN tbh.
@@shahzebatiq1 On my laptop, I've found the difference between 60Hz and 165Hz negligible. Many workstations and professional business laptops are now offering 120Hz because the market demands it - it provides a much better user experience. Also, there's always the option to simply switch to 60Hz, if that's what's needed to squeeze a little more out of the battery (or for whatever reason).
If ur doing business notebooks then pls try the dell precision 5680
Thanks for the suggestion, answered below the Alienware M18 video! ;)
Welchen duel channel ram sollte man am besten kaufen?
Wir hatten 2 x 16GB Crucial DDR5 5600 für unseren Test verwendet!
Vielen lieben Dank für die Antwort! Könntest du mir noch kurz mitteilen wie sehr man dass dann bemerkt? HIlft es beim Gaming?@@NotebookcheckReviews
Haii, your desktop wallpaper can you share... thanks
I found it on unsplash
I'd rather have the flow x13, anytime. scored much better in almost all tests and is cheaper
True, but I guess it would be pretty hard to convince your IT department to buy a bunch of those for the office ;)
Non-upgradable ram, heats up like crazy, worse screen, asus(tm) signature shitty warranty, no thank you
One fan on a socket is not enough these days. Otherwise this laptop is almost perfect though.
I assume they went for the single fan to make room for all the easily upgradable internals, assuming not everyone is interested in running such a machine at full tilt all the time.
Nitpick but I'd like physical buttons on the touchpad but it seems everyone but Lenovo is doing away with them. Can't do Lenovo as they're going the Apple route by soldering components to the main board, among other reasons. Quite annoying as using the touchpad to navigate then click or click and drag always results in cursor drift or losing my selection no matter how precise I am.
I see how this can be a problem when you are used to physical buttons.
the model with 740u seems far better than this one
New laptop for brought mom
Son of the year! ;)
Price
2.249 EUR for our review sample.
No RJ45 port is a big noo for me.
Understandably, even tho it does limit your options considerably!
business notebook + no ethernet? no, thank you, HP.
So you connect ethernet with business? Lol...
I don't think the larger majority is honestly using laptops with ethernet these days. The general consensus seems to be that if you're using anything like a T/X-series, Latitude or EliteBook, it is far far more likely you're using WiFi around the house, 4G/5G when travelling, or a dock with ethernet/external displays/mouse/keyboard/headphones already plugged into the dock, with the laptop using a single connector to provide power, display, internet, and all USB based IO.
I just purchased a EliteBook 860 G10. HP threw in a USB-C dock for completely free. I'm not even going to use the charger at home, it'll go straight to the laptop bag and stay there unless needed outside. The one singular cable I'll be using will be the dock's 100W power connector. My headphones, ethernet, mouse, keyboard, all will connect to the dock.
"Alliedbook"
🤣 that definitely wasn't my perfect moment with the English language
d
?
sorry, must've been misclick@@NotebookcheckReviews
HP please fix your nonsense business laptop keyboards, the build quality is horrifying.
What is your problem with their keyboards? We actually liked this one a lot!
@@NotebookcheckReviews You need to have a longterm test with it, keys fall off in about a year or so. Plus to it's easier to swap the laptop than to replace the keyboard.
We are missing the additional Home, End, Page up, down keys on the right side - very unfortunate they killed them @@NotebookcheckReviews
@ktwei what are you doing with your laptops? I've been using EliteBooks for years and never had any issues. HP and Lenovo makes the best keyboards, in recent years HP's have become even better.
the keyboard is better then macbook air
