Andrew, Always respect your reviews. You cover all the bases in 13 minutes, which is impressive. I respect your disclosures at the top of each review. This is a very good business laptop. Thank you. Stay safe.
Nice PC. Like the easy access to the inside to do upgrades. The LTE feature is nice. If one can live with a portable hot spot or use hot spot from cell phone then a better alternative might be the HP Spectre 15 inch for the money. For another inch+ on the screen you get a full size ten key that is handy for business users. With the smaller footprint on the latest Spectres the physical size and weight is not much more. Still this is an excellent PC. As always another great review.
I aquired an 840 G7, Core i5 vPro, Elite book. The Touchpad suddenly stopped working. I have been trying to look for a solution to no avail; I hope you can assist.
Thanks for reviewing this. I was about to buy their Dragonfly to replace my Dell XPS until I noticed the port positions in your review. I am right handed and like my mouse/USB dongles on the right and all the cables (charge and HDMI) on the the left. I would also miss the SD card slot. I will keep looking.
Possibly because it may take longer to migrate some of the security features optimized for the 14nm++ to the Superfin architecture. Since the business line focuses on optimizing security, top notch performance isn't really the priority. But to be honest, they aren't lacking in performance, as they do what they are meant to do well. There should be a significant catch-up in graphical performance and processing power when Tiger lake arrives on the Elitebook line. The really sad bit is how much dearer the x360 hinge makes the price.
Hmm. I have always received elitebooks from the office every 3-4 years. Decent laptops, well built. This laptop doesn't appear to make the rather pertinent design decisions that are required. 16:10 display, Tiger Lake/Renoir CPU/APUs neither. Rather underwhelming. Bulk pricing is probably significantly lower, but it still is lacking on these two rather important fronts. I was really hoping for that, especially the display and CPU.
Hi everybody, IVe just got it, very nice laptop, just wondering if you know guys wher to buy a case to snap on the two halves, kind of macbook style. It would be nice.
Hello Marc David. Please also make a review of Lenovo ThinkPad E15. I used it and found it a low value & performance for more money. Battery lasts only 1 and a half hour on work. Thermals are also not managed. Lenovo is still providing 5400 rpm hard disk, "a product of the last century". Only metal casing is durable and this I found the only plus point in it. I shared my thoughts, waiting for your detailed review.
Hey, Andrew. Thanks for the lovely review. I think that OEM's generally tend to put their best foot forward in terms of optimizing utility for their business laptops, except for the battery size and the graphics horsepower as is the case here. Honestly, I feel that all laptops should have inbuilt LTE or at least the option to upgrade to it later. Hopefully, Intel's Xe graphics will offer better horsepower when they eventually trickle into these offerings. Thanks again for the awesome work you keep on doing - it's really inspirational 👍🏾. Looking forward to the next stream. Perhaps we could discuss the various business line offerings available.
@@alexisgadoury436 Thanks. Microsoft is becoming more like Apple, which I cannot stand!!! I am going to get another laptop which is going to be much more powerful and less expansive than this overpriced Surface!
It's 10% lighter because they got rid of the ethernet port. I would have much rather kept that and kept it at right under 3lbs as 3lbs isn't shit, and it's annoying having to use a USB to Ethernet dongle.
Ah so pleased you did this one! So many reviewers stick to consumer models and gaming machines, which makes choosing a business machine harder. Great review! One thing I will say is that webcam is shocking. The elite line always used to have a 1080p camera but they've dropped down to 720 and not a very good 720p. In this day and age you need a good webcam, ESPECIALLY on a business laptop.
Refurbished I’ve seen for like 300 bucks. Gonna actually buy one for like 270 in a couple of days. Saw some of them go for like 400 too though so 300-400 dollar range used/refurbished
Very good review, Andrew. I noticed when you noted what was lacking on the right-side with no microSD cart slot, you didn't highlight the other removed feature was the LAN port went the way of the dodo; which the the G6 and G5 have. Probably not a major issue in an office environment as most folks will be using a docking station, but an item that jump out when I was comparing to previous models I've purchased for our office.
No card reader and no LAN port.. sorry .. my laptop is hooked to my router via rj45.. 200 down 70 up.. WiFi gives me 90 /30.. my reason for using lan is security.. so I would need to by a a lan adapter and a card reader..is it 1997.. come on .. what next.. no blue Ray drive
I'm sorry, but do people like this computer? I was just given this for work and it is the worst computer I have ever been forced to use. I am not sure how I can handle working on this for more than an hour. The bottom edge is unbelievably cheap, my wrists have actual cuts from having to rest them on the very sharp edge. There is hardly any room to rest the palm of your hands. Truly a nightmare to be forced to work with this computer.
Oh, it's G7 already.......I'm still using G1 version for work....... Really want to ask HP downstairs to replace my G1 machine with newer one, since I've been working long enough.......
I heard things have been tough in Hollywood, but am I the only one shocked to see Robert De Niro doing computer reviews???
You talkin’ to me? You talkin’ to me? Well then who the hell else are you talkin’ to? Well I’m the only one here!
Hhhhh@@187nellybelly
Absolutely love the build and productivity! Truly amazed, but not as much due to its being one of the latest releases and price
is this good for cybersecurity? or is there a better hp option?

Great review you went to all the details without missing anything
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
Very good review, thank you
Comprehensive,superb 😍
when are you gonna review the latest zenbook 13 ux325ea?
That webcam looks good. I like this laptop, looking into it for college.
Get hp evny if you like the design. Elitebook has a lot of features only useful in corpo scenario.
Hi Andrew, the UHD integrated grphics card from how many gigabyte is it? A really interesting revie and thank you very much
Anyone know if HP fixed the terrible display issues that plagued the Sureview displays for the 830/840 G7, or even addressed the ones on the G6?
Doubt it, I wouldn't go near Sureview.
I own the G6 and yeah, Sureview sucks big time. Great pc but awful display.
Incredible 100k subs! Gooj job man
Thanks really appreciate it 👊
I owned an elitebook 830 , truly underrated laptop. It felt like it was made out of one block of aluminum.
Nice PC. Like the easy access to the inside to do upgrades. The LTE feature is nice. If one can live with a portable hot spot or use hot spot from cell phone then a better alternative might be the HP Spectre 15 inch for the money.

Is it enough for graphic design programs running together? Like creative cloud and Photoshop together?
Hi Andrew is there a way to make th HP pen work any advise ? Or is it straight incompatible cheers from New Zealand .
Does it run graphic programs such as Adobe Premiere, Da Vinci Resort and GTA game?
I aquired an 840 G7, Core i5 vPro, Elite book. The Touchpad suddenly stopped working. I have been trying to look for a solution to no avail; I hope you can assist.
Can this handle 4k video editing?
Can the wireless wan module be replaced with an SSD 2242?
Really great laptop........ Like the review
Elitebook vs Firefly which one is good?
Best work computer yet
Better than dell latitude series?
Amazing Laptop!
But why it is non touch?!!
Which hp docking station is compatible with hp elitebook 840 G7? Thanks!
Fantastic review Andrew. Loved it!
Gone is the support for the ultraslim dock :(

No lan cable port
nice work Amigo
Thanks!
This or envy 13 (2020)??? Reply fast!!
keyboard backlite is not working can u help me boss
How does one right-click without a mouse on this laptop? My touchpad doesn't seem to work.
Normally double touch triggers the right click, that is you tap with two fingers at the same time, don't have to tap & hold but just normal click.
Why do these Elite book models always lag in terms of processors?
Possibly because it may take longer to migrate some of the security features optimized for the 14nm++ to the Superfin architecture. Since the business line focuses on optimizing security, top notch performance isn't really the priority. But to be honest, they aren't lacking in performance, as they do what they are meant to do well.

The really sad bit is how much dearer the x360 hinge makes the price.
HP EliteBook 840 G7 or Dell Latitude 14 7410 with 4k?
Neither for personal use. They are called business laptops for a reason. Both brands have better options that are quite similar in design/build.
Hmm. I have always received elitebooks from the office every 3-4 years. Decent laptops, well built.

Is this great for programming, web developing?
Developers feel free to chime in
Can you fold the laptop all the way over and just use it as a tablet?
Not this model
@@andrewmarcdavid
Okay. Thank you
Hi Andrew.
Hello, does anybody know if the HP Elitebook 840 G7 model# 1C8N4UT#ABA compatible to do Multiple Displays?

is the battery replacable by end users?
Yes if you know how to use a screwdriver and voiding a warranty is not a concern.
Nice laptop in general, but isn't the $2100 price way too high for what you are getting?
For $2100, you can buy a Microsoft surface 3 laptop with icore7 16 GB RAM and 1 Terabit SSD hard drive. Plus, it looks nicer than this Toshiba.
Never touch Microsoft Surface ! you can't change anything in this tablet. You can't upgrade RAM and SSD
@@alexisgadoury436 Thanks. Microsoft is becoming more like Apple, which I cannot stand!!!

Needs Ryzen and a 13.3" screen, ideally high res and I'd give up on my Lenovo order thats been out for two months.
Doubt it as AMD has supply issues.
Elitebook 845 G7 is Ryzen based
I wonder what’s the reason behind no SD card slot? Especially on a laptop that’s efficient for editing

thanks for the video, the bottom side of this laptop seems a very cheap design, not as good as g6...
Would this work with gaming?
You can game if you lower settings but really only good for light gaming

Sorry, I'm new to the whole commenting thing, had no idea you replied. But I really appreciate you replying! Thank you.
Never too late to review the g14 hahaha

Interesting laptop. I guess running Adobe programs won’t work for this device too well.
Light video editing and photoshop
It is a good video!!! Andrew, could you make the review of the HP EliteBook 855 G7?! Thanks
Let me know now the price of hp elite book 840 i5 G7

I don’t even think you can buy it full price now anyways lol

Will you do a review for the ProBook with the Ryzen 4750U?
I think you have to really love the extra business features to justify the price tag

Something tells me this video will get buried by today's Google Event, those new pixels are 🔥🔥. Hope you're doing well :)
no more tiny stupid power button that the g6s have?
In my opinion, this laptop has a big minus: it has no additional storage space.
Is there anything you gotta said this product is not good 😅.
