Thanks a lot for the review! Very balanced and informative. There is also a variant with a 75Wh batteries, which I am strongly considering. Very excited about the battery life if the 52Wh is already this good
The best review on this laptop on RUclips. Well done! What about the pulsating fan? Is it really bad? Is there any workaround how to get silent laptop for ordinary office work?
Nice review, but test the performance of 3D games on a business computer is pointless. 😅 In my opinion it would be more useful a comparison with the 845 series to see the difference in size with the 14” inch model, or show the BIOS options and security features that are unique to Elitebook as well as the remote management features…
I think testing gaming performance on this was very interesting - the integrated Radeon RX 680m GPU is quite a performer! I'm also very interested to see how the newer 780m handles light gaming...
1:12 this machine came with 51 whr and 72whr battery optional. Do you think we can upgrade the 51whr to 72whr battery? It looks like we got the space to do that
Those laptops are for Enterprise they can be managed and configured automatically from the BIOS/UEFI so it is not fair to compare it with any other 16 notebook a parte the business line of DELL
Smart card reader is for enterprise organisations that have credit card size ID badges that they use to authenticate/login to the laptop. Micro SD or SD cards are found on digital cameras or some smartphones to transfer photos (Or files) to the laptop. 👍
No mention of a sd card reader? For a busyness laptop with all the upgradeability and expandability, simple sd card slot is not much to ask... Nobody likes them dongles, except the apple crowd ofc.
Business laptop is not really in need of SD-card slot. In most businesses external media is strictly controlled anyways, can't use personal USB-drives in any decent company nowadays. SD-card is only used by photographers who are generally freelancers with personal creative laptops. Ergo nothing to do with business laptops as you were mentioning.
@@Dovecomputers perfect I literally just order mine. I might of went overkill with the specs around it but it was on sale. 2TB 64GB ram all for 900. I plan to emulate a lot and DJ from it.

Excellent review, hits most important points, all substance without any fluff. Good summary or pros/cons.

After a few minutes it disappeared. Firmware update fixed it. The other three models didn't have this issue.
I can’t believe that I’m watching this channel for 2 days to see his review about laptops and can’t barely afford it
Excellent review!
This review helped me a lot to decide if I should buy this laptop or skip it.
Did you buy it?
Awesome review -- thx very much. Subscribed.

If someone wanted a laptop just for browsing the web, he would go for a laptop at 1/3 of the price. Testing games performance is perfectly fine.

2:10 Sorry should read "open to almost 180 degrees", only human! 😁
Can you set the amount of reserved memory for the iGPU in the BIOS?
Looks Like the HP ZBook Firefly G10. Greetz from 🇨🇭

Yes you can. 👍
How is this laptop for architecture students?

How does the battery do when playing youtube with bt headphones, at 50-75% brightness?
I do have question! How about Micro SD or SD ? You say Smart Card Reader? What is difference? Is that same? Sorry I am not into computer much! Thanks
Smart card reader is for enterprise organisations that have credit card size ID badges that they use to authenticate/login to the laptop. Micro SD or SD cards are found on digital cameras or some smartphones to transfer photos (Or files) to the laptop. 👍
is it possible to update the ram and ssd yourself?
1:13 👍
I want to take that laptop for multitasking(search Infos about research, statistic analysis), this laptop can do that easily???
Yes 👍
When it will be 865 G10 we are waiting for it
In a fortnight or so. 👍
@@Dovecomputers thank you indeed
It's now available in the UK for £1,199.99 (on the HP website)

SD cards are so slow anyways. People still use them ?.
As its aimed at business users, SD card readers are not required normally. Tend to find then in consumer laptops or content creator models.

Elitebook 855 G8 vs 865 G9
Well in third world countries the prices are thrice the orginal price....
Selling my kidney to buy one 😅😢
Wondering if this can handle an Xbox emulator
Shouldn't be an issue running it.

This could be one of the best bussines 16 inch laptop. How it is compered to Dell latitude 7530
For these top level CPU / iGPU systems, it would be nice if HP came out with a gaming version with 19" 4K 144 screen
what a small battery.....its a waste for a laptop with the best AMD mobile chip on the market
there are other variants of this model with bigger battery. Also, U-series processors go longer with less battery than the H-series...
@@zeus1117 That's right , but if they could put a 99wh battery like the Macbook M1 (which is about the same size) this laptop will be immortal
The keyboard sucks, it doesn't have lights
Always a strange one when some business laptops don't come with backlit keys as standard.
