HP Elitebook 855 G7 - Review

[@CETechTips]

Let me know you thoughts on this notebook, fast, thin, light, and a great battery!

[@dominiquejolly7781]

Would it be able to handle video editing?

[@CETechTips]

@@dominiquejolly7781 It has the processor power to do it. 4k editing might be a struggle though.

У меня не получилось открыть sim лоток - как открыть sim слот?.. П.с.: Разобрался.. внутри каждой модели множество неафишированных модификаций.. 855 g7 В моей версии всё отлично - 4750, 16гб, 512Гб, 1000cd экран.. но нет LTE 🤬 И самое печальное, что на корпусе ноутбука есть посадочное место для sim .. и я думал, что я могу использовать SIM.. Теперь ищу способ как добавить LTE к моей модификации ноутбука. П.С.: всегда подписывай точный артикл модели, на которую делаешь обзор.. И ещё ты должен был сказать " ВОТ вэтом месте есть место для SIM карты, но далеко не во всех разновидносях этого ноутбука"

I've got a 445 G7 Probook and I'm already very happy with it. I also have the last year's 850 G5 (Intel Core i5), employer-issued. I really really like the build, feel, and quality of the 850 G5. I've heard this said about both the Probooks and Elitebooks in that they are kind of plain/boring design and rather unremarkable to look at. But that it's not a bad thing; and that the sum of its design/parts and software simply fades into the background and simply doesn't get in the way of you doing your work. I like the feel of the Probook and Elitebook keyboards.

[@CETechTips]

Awesome thanks for sharing. These are some of my favorite models. It looks good and have a premium feel and design, without being too much in your face.

[@renilpadman3405]

An awesome review as always..hope u get to 100k soon

[@CETechTips]

Thanks! Slow and steady

Thank you for your review. I would like to see if this notebook makes any noise when powered on and in both when idle and under load. And a photo by infrared camera to see it's temperatures would be great. Together with temperatures from it's sensors (CPU temperature and others). I hope this notebook can stand out in the performance/noise comparison among professional notebooks.

[@CETechTips]

You can hear a slight whirring of the fans under load, but is never went above 35db in my testing. I need to pick up a infrared camera, however it was cool to the touch. Really a stellar device, thanks for watching!

[@DigitalN]

Finally, a premium AMD notebook! So happy to see one that doesn’t appear to be gimped in any way. Can’t wait to try one out. Seeing a couple gaming benchmarks would be neat though, I wonder how it compares to intel graphics?

[@CETechTips]

Shadow of the Tomb Raider was 22fps on lowest settings. Much better than Intel, but still not quite there.

[@whoisksh]

Thanks for the nice review~ I just bought HP845 G7~

[@CETechTips]

Good choice!

[@Kenzo9063]

There's also the thinkpad with amd lineup. I have the X13 AMD G1 and it does live up to what premium laptops are without costing a bomb (Half the price of the XPS 13)

[@alexandr0id]

Thank you for the review! What was the charger wattage, and price of the configuration reviewed? 250 nits display blows my mind - how does it look outside?

[@CETechTips]

Came with a 65 watt charger. 250 is too low, I would do the 400nits or 1000nits. Trying to get that unit in. Price was about $1700 CAD.

[@JiovanGatyene]

Would you say the AMD Ryzen 5 is better than the intel i7. I am specifically referring to the hp 470 g8 notebook intel i7?

[@hotdog4848]

In your video 3:37 you said that ventilation exhausts out near the hinges. So when you close the laptop (display down), the ventilation output holes are closed? So when using it with external monitor, mouse and keyboard with display closed, doesn't it overheat?

[@CETechTips]

No there is still a gap where the air can expel from the system. I did not have any issues with overheating when I used it like that.

[@federicab.7049]

Is the screen better compared to the hp 15s family?

[@nogoogleaccount8982]

Great review, thank you! I just got this laptop, however I am missing the Touchpad/Clickpad settings und the Mouse settings (can't configure the Synaptics touchpad) and so far HP support was not able to help me. Any advice?

[@CETechTips]

Can you download the driver for it from the HP support site?

[@davie_grrr]

Hi, I found the 400 nits display version of the Elitebook 845 G7 at €1049 and it seems a really good price. The only thing I'm afraid of is the thermal design: just one vent and one heatpipe. In your opinion, is it enough? Thanks

[@CETechTips]

I think it is, everything I have done on it has been good.

[@sunnygrewal6071]

I always wait for your videos, really informative Thanks I have one question Is it worth to buy Alienware m15 R3 base model, instead of legion or predator helios 300, bcz we can get high specs in these model’s at same price?

[@CETechTips]

That would really depend on the spec of what you can get. What differences are you looking at?

[@sunnygrewal6071]

For $2399 predator helios 300- GPU- RTX 2070, RAM- 32GB DDR4, storage- 512 GB SSD Display- 144Hz Alienware m15 R3 ($2399) GPU- RTX 2060 RAM- 16GB DDR4 Storage- 1TB SSD Display- 144Hz Waiting for your reply

[@CETechTips]

@@sunnygrewal6071 That is tough you get a bit double the memory and a bunch up on the video card. Normally that would be the one I would go with. However I havent tested the Helios 300 yet to see how the thermals are.

[@30botta]

I've been waiting for a 15 inch amd business laptop with touchscreen !

[@CETechTips]

This is it, unfortunately the touchscreen has a lower color palette though. Still good though.

[@denisivanov4888]

How is the keyboard? I will eventually come from ThinkPad T440s which has wonderful keyboard for coding.

[@CETechTips]

I have not used the T440 myself, however I really like the HP. It does a really good job.

[@sahinovic1944]

Hello there , i need some help with my hp 855 g7 and i would like to know your opinion. I bought it with 1tb ssd and becouse of lack storage i want upgrade it to 2Tb. On official datasheet says on storage up to 1tb. That is confusing because did they mean up to 1tb from hp or generaly up to 1tb? So here my question can i upgrade my hp elitebook 855 g7 on 2tb ssd . Thank you very much.

[@bluesriderDF]

Excellent review! The thing holding me back is the nits. I might just have to try it since there's a 30 day return policy.

[@CETechTips]

Thanks, I would look at the other configurations, there is one that offers 1000nits. I am testing that right now. It is eye scorching.

[@bluesriderDF]

@@CETechTips What's the product code?

[@CETechTips]

@@bluesriderDF 1W9S2UT#ABA is one.

[@bluesriderDF]

@@CETechTips Ordered!

[@bluesriderDF]

I received the 1W9S2UT today. I am disappointed - A LOT - with the screen. If it's not pointed exactly at your eyes there are dark areas at the bottom or sides. It's difficult to use. I'm trying to get used to it, but there's no angle that is optimal, and as soon as I sit up, lean back, or change position, half the screen is dark again. I'm always stunned when companies do stuff like these. We've had laptops for 30 years, why all the sudden do they deviate from the norm and make a screen like this? Privacy? They definitely came up short in the implementation. A second gripe is the power and HDMI ports are on the right. If you have these plugged in and you happen to use an external mouse, the mouse constantly hits the cords. Scratching my head here.

[@paulwin9036]

Thanks for the detailed review. With all the thin laptops with unrepairable soldered components, causing customers to purchase new products rather than fixing the old one, waisting perfectly good machine to become e-waste, I'm glad that there are still some companies holding on to good, repariable laptops. Will definitely be getting this or the 14 inch one for college nect year. TAMU here I come! P.S, Does the machine support up ti 64 Gigs of RAM? Like two 32 gig Sodimm memory.

[@CETechTips]

Thanks for the comment. It is refreshing to see for sure. Thanks for watching.

[@CETechTips]

Only up to 32GB is the max memory for this unit.

[@paulwin9036]

@@CETechTips really? That's strange... You'd imagine just popping in two 32 gig sticks

[@paulwin9036]

@@CETechTips thanks though.

[@CETechTips]

@@paulwin9036 I agree I double checked the max memory from their website. Too bad. But should provide enough for most.

[@comandantes_cave]

What port on the left of 2 usb-c on right side?

[@mickaelconde6326]

Hi, does this works with dual external monitors? Should be based on specs

[@CETechTips]

Yes it does. Page six goes through dock support and display types. www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c06676664.pdf

[@adamvenger]

Thanks for review. I have 14 inch model on the way with the same spec. Hope it's gonna be as great as it seems.

[@CETechTips]

Hope you enjoy it! Report back once you get it! I think the 14 inch model is the one I would want.

[@TheTuneoftheweek]

How is it going? Do you still like your laptop?

[@adamvenger]

@@TheTuneoftheweek I changed my order at the last minute for Thinkpad T14 with the same specs.

[@whoisksh]

Is it LTE upgradable? I can see antenna cables and a slot for LTE module probably?

[@CETechTips]

Yes that is the WLAN slot and the antenna are already there. What I have read is the that micro sim slot is not, so you need to be selected WLAN when you buy it.
