HP EliteBook 840 G7 unboxing and first impressions

[@CharlesClarke123]

The power button to turn the laptop on is on the keyboard itself. It's the 2nd keystroke on the very top right next to the delete button. It took me a while tp figure this out. I hope this helps others.

I really wish HP would switch to 16:10 or 3:2 aspect ratio, EliteBooks are business laptops after all.

Hey, IT guy here, let me explain the "still working on it..." That's the Windows OS checking the windows update server if there are any major feature/security updates to the installer as well as the OS build. That's not a bug, that's actually a good thing. When you load software on to a computer, and then sell it, by the time it reaches the consumer, the software/drivers are usually already outdated. So no it's not a Windows bug, lol.

[@leonardchamin]

Honestly. You missed one thing. you didn't show us where is the power button

[@CharlesClarke123]

The power button to turn it on is actually on the keyboard. The second keystroke button from the top right. It took me a while to figure it out.

Is it useful for python data science

[@HFORADS]

Does it run graphic programs such as Adobe Premiere, Da Vinci Resort and GTA game?

I believe the G5 and G6 have the absolute same body, maybe screen panel is a bit different.

Oh, this is the latest/greatest... back to my original question... Hope this tells me how to power up! Just got my company issued and seems pretty dead... plugging it in and, at least, power button is on... Oh, it’s just another KEYBOARD button on the top right... three keys in from the Right (first Laptop I used that didn’t have its own power on - on the body - not the keyboard🤨

[@sastrotheengineer]

what's the screen size (in puces) of the small laptop?

[@shawnpriester3903]

I didnt see you unbox this and add the cords to the cube or docking station.......

[@IBRAHIMELSHAWISH]

Is the keyboard has backlights?

[@ahmadrefaat964]

How much is it

[@TGE66]

Thanks mate .... i nearly went for one of these but then you reminded me of my buggy HP Printer ........ seems its a curse across their product range. Will avoid the stress! Cheers

How is the battery life on this?

[@TheCrystal0817]

hi! you mentioned this is a 'business' laptop, and i was wondering what exactly makes it so? is that as opposed to a 'gaming' or 'everyday' laptop, or is there something else about it that makes it qualify as such.... im just curious and wanted to know if anybody could answer! thank you! :D

[@TheGeoDaddy]

Since I didn’t see an answer... “Business” means it has an easy setup to lock it down for security... encryption... audit... secured I/O to make sure you aren’t sending or receiving anything from outside the company’s Intranet... or shouldn’t IF fully enabled.

Please review the new Dell G7 15 with the i5H and 1660 Ti. It has an 86WHr battery and has the potential to be a great long-battery gaming laptop for under $1,000. I want to know - how comfortable is the keyboard? How is the screen - is it calibrated enough to be okay for photo editing? What is the battery life? Please and thank you!

[@edgardmartinez6026]

I’ve had HP “elitebook” since compaq. They are the best. I currently own G1-G7. They don’t hang up like other laptops run smooth. I recommend. I have G1-G7 non touch and G1 and G3 touch. Total 9. I use my touch for my linux boxes. Arch and Debian.

Have this laptop now from work and it's awesome. Wish they would have gone with 16/10 aspect ratio. That would be perfect because everything else is really good. Had the Dell equivalent and that was a nightmare. Never going Dell again.
