Take a look at the new review! Let me know what you think. This is a lower end spec, not my choice but still a really good unit! The HP 840 G7 also has a great deal of up to 60% off! Link in the description.
Just got this from work recently and have to admit that HP is miles ahead of Dell. The keyboard and overall build is far ahead of any standard business laptop from Dell or any of the other manufacturers. Keyboard is so good.
I agree for the most part. Build quality = HP Elitebook > Dell 7*** = Thinkpad T*** Keyboard = Thinkpad T*** > HP Elitebook > Dell 7*** Screen = Dell 7*** > HP Elitebook > Thinkpad T*** Speakers = HP Elitebook > Dell 7*** > Thinkpad T*** These statements don't actually describe how far one surpasses the other. If you really need speakers, the HP is the only one that is decent. It's only decent, it's not good. If sound is important then Elitebook ain't going to be for you and the others definetly won't. If screen quality is your thing, then Dell is exceptional. Thinkpad is trash and HP is only marginally better. Dell use amazing screens. We all know that Thinkpad is king with their keyboads right? Been like that for ever. Both HP and Dell also make good keyboads, still not quite as good as the Lenovo's Thinkpad though. I consider HP to surpass Dell in this category because I personally dislike keyboad deck flex. Dell's isn't bad for the record but one of them has to come last. Lastly if you're a fan of the track point featured in Thinkpads, the Dell version is utter trash. I haven't tried it on the HP Elitebooks but it looks similar to Dell's and they don't offer a third button click so what's the point? Thinkpad all the way if trackpoint is important. I have owned three thinkpads, (one X and two T) one Latitude and recently purchased an Elitebook. Thinkpads have not impressed me. I'd give Dell another go but I'm pretty disappointed with how my last one ended. I'm hoping HP will be better.
Hi @CE Tech Tips. Thank you for such an elaborate review. Quite thrilled at the features on HP 840 G7. Such a great work. Keep it up. I have never owned a laptop but I really like the HP G7. Its my dream laptop!!! I hope to own it someday especially for my website development vision. Will really be a useful tool.
Hello dude I bought Hp omen after watching your review, It is a fantastic unit, after gaming for 5 hours in ultra setting still temps is 75 to 80 degree Celsius. Really an awesome machine. Thanks for your review about hp omen. Actually was going for legion or Alienware but legion is 500 $ more and Alienware is 2000$ here in India for same configuration. So hp is best bang for buck. Once again thank you
Nice review! The 250 nits screen is a letdown though. I was hoping you would get the 1000 nits SureView (75% ntsc) since I've read mixed reviews on those - that privacy screen is never fully off and adds grain to the picture. If that's true then the only viable option HP elitebook has is 400 nits screen (72% ntsc), which HP offers on literally 1 prebuilt Ryzen model, pushing 250/1000 screens on all 10 others... And all AMD elitebooks seem to be in perpetual pre-order, with about a month delivery time...
Thanks for the comment. I agree the 400 nits is the minimum. I do have a 1000 nits screen that I am testing that is AMD based. I can say that this one is much better than the previous generation. Doesn't have that grainy look. I'm still testing but should have a review up in a couple weeks.
Great to see some video reviews of the business notebooks. Really I've only ever seen these in written articles but it's nice to see on video too! Seeing the charts comparing them to all of the gaming notebooks was pretty hilarious looking! haha.
I've deployed over a thousand of these. expect driver issues til you update. the power button is in a really stupid place. other than that they are pretty good.
Very nice and explaining review. Looking at screens, which laptop would you advise for better experience combined with working in data management (SQL, Tableau etc) ?
Personally I would do a bigger screen 850 if you are just going to do most work from it. But I prefer the 840 form factor if you use an external screen.
@@CETechTips Surprised by the quick reply. Thanks. I feel silly now. I just didn't think to look for a power button hidden in the keys of a keyboard, but it was right in front of me either way haha.
Hey should the hp elite book 850 g7 meant to have a black small dot on the top of the lid? We noticed it and wanted to know if it was a camera on the outside of the laptop or if it’s just a dint. As we have been told that it’s meant to be there. It just doesn’t look right!
Hi, currently using a 840 g7, i'm planning to put a camera cover on it, just wondering what's on the other side of the camera, is it another camera? I tried to cover it while using the face recognition and it can't recognize my face while it is covered. Can you help me with this? Thanks.

Your all laptop reviews are very good but your subscribers and video likes are not so much
@@raghavjha Yep, it takes time for them to build. Channel is 4 months old, get about 20 or so each day.
@@CETechTips carry on bro your contents are very good
What would you prefer us to buy 840/850 ?
@@cryptotechnicals5908 Depending on if you need the numpad, personally I would do the 840. They are basically identical.

@super shmov lenovo and Alienware reaches about 95 c
Thank you for the detailed review!
Thanks for watching!
Would have appreciated some cons and how they compare to the competition in business laptops.
I agree, this was my first business notebook review. Need to bring more in.

Certainly not many out there. Hope it adds some value to others out there. Those gaming notebooks are in a league of their own.
This is some solid fancy content cheers
I prefer the Elitebook 850G7, but you did not mention if it has dedicated graphics memory. Can you recommend this PC for 4k Video Editing?
You're very good.
Great content
You'll get to the TOP soon 😉
Thank you so much 😁
I've deployed over a thousand of these. expect driver issues til you update. the power button is in a really stupid place. other than that they are pretty good.
Where is it? I still can’t find it
Nevermind. Found it. Between the delete and print screen buttons
Should mention, G7 versus previous models: Eliminated the slimline docking station port. Also eliminated the RJ245.

Thanks!
i guess your mic picked up the echo from the room but the laptop cancelled the echo out nicely.
My 850 g7 doesn't have a power button... I've been messing with it for an hour now and can't figure out how to turn it on...
On the keyboard, top row, second button from the right.
@@CETechTips Surprised by the quick reply. Thanks. I feel silly now. I just didn't think to look for a power button hidden in the keys of a keyboard, but it was right in front of me either way haha.
@@anthonyc19 Glad I could help, don't feel bad it took me a minute to find it as well.
Hello,

Hi! I was wondering if it is noisy with its fan etc. when doing intense processing?
What keyboard buttons do I use to screen save on the 850
Are those pc in that video have screen touch or not
Where should i connect the Lan in hp 850 g7.
Hey should the hp elite book 850 g7 meant to have a black small dot on the top of the lid? We noticed it and wanted to know if it was a camera on the outside of the laptop or if it’s just a dint. As we have been told that it’s meant to be there. It just doesn’t look right!
Yeah that is the world mic for noise cancellation. It is subtle but to your point once you see it.
@@CETechTips thank you heaps!
Which one should I buy Hp envy 13m 11th gen or elite book 840g7,, which one is better for excel working
Either will be fine for that workload. Depending on the 11th gen processor it might be a bit faster.
Thank you ❤️❤️
