4:19 : This is what I like. Removable RAM... Is easy to replace if Broken or upgrade it

[@nicolascarrasco817]

Yes!! This point is very important

[@magnusjosephson3033]

A great review, much better than many others since you directly focus on the user. I could immediately see myself as a user and what I´d look for. Great work! If I should summarize it: Great for road warrior Office users (like me) but not for gamers and designers.

[@cloudxenogear]

Good experience using Elitebook 840 G6. My office laptop provided by the company. I prefer the Elitebook compared to my own personal Envy13 (2018 model) which have good battery life and better keyboard.

[@antonivt]

I've been a Thinkpad fan ever since I first used a laptop, but this HP laptop is very appealing. Might have a change of heart in next laptop upgrade :P

[@williamcohen3351]

Nice PC. Camera look okay for a 720p. MIcrophones sounded clear and good. LIke the easy access to the insides (no screws under rubber strips etc.) HP should do this to all their computer lines. For those needing an SD card slot one could purchase an inexpensive adapter that can connect to either a USB-A or USB-C port. Good selection of ports. Like the wifi 5 capability if needed. Overall as a general rule HP gives the best value for the money. You do not pay a premium for a PC with the name Dell or Apple on it etc. Great review as always.

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks as always!

[@JuanDelaCruz-qt5ok]

The best characteristics of it's form factor is the easy upgrade/fix shell.

[@Alcatraz111]

EliteBook 830 G9 with Core i5 1245U is a performance beast for office worker and professionals. Color Accurate, 5G option, and a highly comfy keyboard are the prime plus points for the machine.

[@premmani]

Thank you for the review Andrew. I wanted to purchase the Road Warrior and was comparing it against a few others. Looks like I will settle with this one.

[@user-lk4mf4pt8h]

Thank you for another one good review! Can you show for us - Elitebook 850 g8 mx450 with 4k IPS very interesting to see your opinion... You are the one!💪

[@emmanuelgenga7421]

Nice review I actually have one of the elitebooks but its an old refurbished 820 G5

[@luisrojas4480]

awesome review! I have an Elitebook 840 G3. Trying to upgrade to this one. Your review helped me lot

[@sielejustus5562]

Hi, How is the G3? I wanted to purchase a refurb one for coding.

[@e1r2i3k415]

I am using an 840 G6 for work and it's definitely time for an upgrade, the 8th gen i5 is starting to show it's age. Funny how this is the case for notebooks. It''s too bad we don't have any stock lol.

[@yemelian.fabrichnikov]

Thank you for the good review 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Thanks really appreciate it!

[@beaver7847]

Hi, did someone notice the fan spinning up when using an external sreen via Thunderbolt? This is an issue with all Thunderbolt 3 notebooks I tried and I wonder if this heat issue is fixed. The fanless Apple M1 Macbook Air uses a special chip which doesn't offer true TB4 support.

[@weaboo0693]

using this as my work laptop and the only problem I have is that it's slower in adapting wifi compared to my 8-year old MAC 😬

[@davek5899]

16:9 display aspect ratio, no SD/MicroSD slot, and only 720p webcam..... in a supposedly "premium" business laptop?

[@user-vm4he3gk3c]

what laptop is better the hp spectre or the hp elitebook ?!

[@chavrios3007]

I just got this laptop about half the price and basically New in a pantalla Shop I got extremely lucky

Does it have a descrete TPM?
As a business focused laptop it should also because of Windows 11 compatibility/upgradability.

[@TheWebjunky007]

I have a 830 G7 , HP Elitebooks are very good build.

[@maxenceessoungou1580]

Hey Andrew, Thanks for the Review.
Can I use it for software Development??

[@Cocoyz]

SD card is far more important than that sim card. It is not a business laptop for me.

[@amartyakundu1724]

Fast SD cards are good for expanding storage as well.

[@swackymusic]

Honestly I’ve checked this…specing this laptop nearly upto the specifications of base model of new 14” MacBook Pro M1pro…the MacBook is $200 cheaper…though with less ports but even stronger processor and better battery life…and MagSafe…there’s just more features and windows on parallels or third party…and even better display, audio, etc…
In high end laptops…Apple ain’t stealing us…it’s making life better honestly

[@Ordinary_Peasant]

Great review

[@cloudxenogear]

Please do review Lenovo Ideapad 5 pro 16 (AMD) and Thinkbook 16p (AMD). Thanks!

[@ianburke5867]

I've received one of these laptops from work. How can I connect it to two external monitors? I dont want to buy an expensive docking station and hopefully there is a compatible thunderbolt to HMDI cable. What would work?

[@castle_novelist]

Anyone who knows how to text and call on Hp?
I have sim slot and the network is working on my Hp. But how to text and call?
Thanks

[@stefanoscerra4597]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the review. Which one would you prefer between this one and the ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 9?

[@diegoayala504]

I have the same question, I am doubting between these 2 models. I have been using Thinkpad since 10 years ago, but this HP model looks and feel good and is about 100€ cheaper. Anyway it is difficult for me to change.

[@stefanoscerra4597]

@@diegoayala504 since the thinkpads have crazy long delivery times I ended up buying a core i7 HP Envy 14, I'm happy with it

[@gra8mu]

Please confirm sure view option in this laptop or not.

[@user-ev1kz4xv4v]

no ethernet, my WiFi sometimes need help, so I need to connect it

[@davidallen2211]

Looked at one of these, the 5G was important, but the ship dates aren't until 2022.

[@MoizAsimagar]

Does it have IPS display?

[@sundaravigneshe9318]

Does it have a touch screen?

[@user-iw2vn2ok5o]

Bought this today

[@DaniyalKhan-pm5zz]

Video link that you played for display ?

[@y.umamaheshwarikanna1319]

Andrew, where is HP envy 15 2021 review ??

[@andrewmarcdavid]

I just received it today. Filming is underway

[@randydowtin1365]

Why didn't you say anything about the smart card reader

[@andrewmarcdavid]

It has a smart card reader. Happy?

[@BIGDADDYKNOWSBEST1011]

Best business tablet under $240

[@ravi-gadhiya]

Please review LG Gram 17 (2021)

[@Crazyd_]

Mic quality of that is awful, video quality is fine.
Looking for touch screen laptop, but this isn't it.

[@Nearnface]

wowowowow

[@rezwanmohd1391]

Bhai mere pause Galti se jaliye aap ke pas 840 inko wapis Kar do please

[@getto_x]

Хороший ноут)

[@BIGDADDYKNOWSBEST1011]

Hello Andrew

[@CtbChile]

no ethernet

[@gaganpreetxp]

Overpriced
zenbook 13 oled is much better at almost half the price.

[@JuanDelaCruz-qt5ok]

Im here just to review the unit sent to me by my company. 🤣😂

[@andrewmarcdavid]

Exactly, why should I not review it?
