Great video. Just what I want to know. Short, clear, straight-to-the-point video and very professional! Good job!

[@rahmayasser4634]

Really good review just what I was looking for

[@ghyrcols9109]

Best review ever. to be honest i never knew what the docking port was, also thank you for mentioning about sim card port.

[@frankizboniz]

How do i get to use the sim card while its in the laptop

[@ghyrcols9109]

@@frankizboniz I don't have that exact laptop. But if you inserted the SIM but it doesn't work then there is an internal hardware missing, a SIM module that is usually installed later. It doesn't come with the laptop and needs to be purchased separately.

[@ivanrus2011]

Hello! Ty for video. Does it have PWM display flicker when brightness is reduced?

[@RealElementProductions]

Excellent question! I've only noticed PWM display flicker on older HP ProBooks and certain Lenovo ThinkPads; The display on this unit is very similar in quality and resolution to a standard LCD Nintendo Switch, and doesn't exhibit any of those symptoms.

[@animalcaretoday]

Is the graphics card able to edit 4k videos with filmora?

[@RealElementProductions]

No, I would recommend a 6 core 8th gen Intel 8750H or better. You'll be waiting an unconstitutionally long time with this sucker.

Thank you! ❤️

[@danman2070]

Thanks for your review. Would you mind commenting on the weight of this laptop? Is it heavy or heavier than other laptops of its size or is it reasonably light? Thanks

[@divinevictory2668]

1.4kgs Slightly heavier than others but it's worth it

Can i use accounting softwares like tally, quickbooks, and ms office in this ?? Please help me with my dought

[@RealElementProductions]

Yes, it’s a great portable business laptop. However, if you’re handling extremely sensitive information like for another company or something on a massive scale it’s less secure than a new laptop

[@kipyator_kemboi]

Good thing about the SIM slot but I didn't see VGA port

[@RealElementProductions]

It’s too thin for one of those, and really too new. DisplayPort and HDMI are where it’s at

[@Wadelbadawie]

Hi bro, I have hp elitebook revolve 810 core i5 with 8GB ram but when i open programs like Adobe illustrator the device generate heat and that make the bettary spented quicly, can you know the reason?

[@RealElementProductions]

Yes, the battery is small and the ULV (Ultra low voltage) CPU with integrated graphics are a strain on graphic designers. Typically with newer programs like creative cloud with all their AI and high resolution rendering, a laptop with a graphics card and 6th gen or newer Intel CPU would be recommended, like an HP ZBook Studio G3. It's a great option for not very much more than one of these. I know it's not very helpful, but I hope saving you from replacing the battery and meaningless upgrades will save you towards an overall better machine that will meet your needs

[@fawasayomiposi8676]

I hope I get reply, can it be used to play call of duty or other action games? If not, can you recommend one around the same price. Thanks

[@RealElementProductions]

No, I would recommend a Dell XPS 9560, a non touch 1080p model goes for about $250, a 4K touch model will go for $350, the extra $100 you’ll spend over this will give you years of gaming over these EliteBooks

Awesome dude, hope this video helps you reach your audience. Feel free to put the link to this video in your listing description so people have a good look at what they’re buying

[@saint_niloty]

can it be connected with the HDMI

[@RealElementProductions]

With a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, yes but it won't carry audio through to your display of choice like an HDMI cable would. You will have to route the auxillary output from this computer to a separate sound system or an auxillary jack in said display, if it has one

[@ABIOG15]

Can I get this device (HP elite book 810 G3 revolve core i5 or HP elitebook 840 G5 core i5... I neef a laptop for prolong writing, studing and general basic beec. I don't do video games.

[@RealElementProductions]

Get the 840 G5. The newer the better

[@tobywinter1]

Just picked this up at a yard sale. I'm a Mac girl so kind of lost. I know it's old but is this thing not rechargeable like an iPad?

[@RealElementProductions]

It is! Just hook it up with the power adapter and it should start charging. If it doesn’t download HP Support Assistant on your computer and it will let you know if the battery is shot. Also make sure you’re using a 65w power adapter as lower wattages will power but not charge the laptop. Let me know how that goes :)

[@danielpreda1981]

can you suggest a good source for those docking station you say it's 5-6 dollars? I could only find 70-100$...

[@RealElementProductions]

Check Goodwill computer works. If you aren't able to find any around your area I'll ship you one for $6 plus shipping

[@TheCrystalHeart]

Is there a specific model number i should be looking for? I can find on amazon np

[@HarttheBandOfficial]

Is it good for Ableton ?

[@RealElementProductions]

It just barely meets the minimum requirements, so it should run but expect delays or lag with heavy loads. I would shoot for an HP EliteBook 840 G4 or G5 with a newer 7th or 8th gen Intel Core i5/i7 CPU

[@fallyjan2226]

[@ogundipesimiloluwatimothy2716]

How many hours can the battery last?

[@RealElementProductions]

On the original battery expect them to be on the fritz, between 1-2 hours at the most. A brand new OEM battery from HP would net 3.5-5 hours, and a brand new battery from eBay or another aftermarket would probably get you 2 hours and stop working after a few months

[@akpenuchibueze9245]

Is it good for video editing

What’s the battery life of this laptop like ?

[@RealElementProductions]

Edited response: A brand new battery will last 4-5 hours. This laptop is nearing 10 years old and if it happens to still hold a charge it won’t be great. The laptop in this video had a dead battery so I would consider purchasing a new one but it wouldn’t be cost effective especially since brand new OEM batteries would be around as old as the laptop itself, and I wouldn’t recommend ever purchasing an aftermarket one

[@richfieldcity5]

Is it good for programming?

[@RealElementProductions]

Nope, the resolution is too meager and the keyboard stinks. Get a Razer Blade

[@indomie4885]

Can GTA San Andreas be played in the device

[@RealElementProductions]

Yes, but poorly. There is no doubt thermal throttling will take a massive impact on performance, not to mention the integrated graphics are just squeaking by for the majority of heavy tasks, that’s why this machine is aimed at business customers who need portability. If you need a semi-gaming laptop that will play San Andreas without breaking the bank, I would look at an older Dell XPS 9560, if you’re sharp-eyed you can nab one with a 4K touchscreen and GTX 1050 graphics. I used to have one in college and now they’re in sub-$300 territory, THAT is the laptop to get for San Andreas.

[@danielinnocent2678]

Can I use this as a laptop, for programming?

[@RealElementProductions]

Yes, although the shallow and tiny keyboard will be a pain to type on for long periods. If you’re traveling a bunch I’d recommend a nice used M1 MacBook Air. You can find them for $400-500 used and the battery life is amazing

[@imranmomin9692]

Excellent.. my boss gave a gift to me. But I don't know how do I switch on this? Can you please show how to switch it on?

[@phjmp]

Toggle on/off on the right side of the laptop, next to volume buttons and airplane mode toggle.

[@RealElementProductions]

Little slider switch on the side. If it’s not powering on still plug in the AC adapter. It’s about time to replace the original battery, if you have it

If you’re using an Apple iOS product I’ve had a hit or miss with Windows laptops. Try asking someone with an Android hotspot to try and connect, and if that doesn’t work make sure your Intel wireless drivers are installed from HPs website
