I am still presently using this exact laptop using 16gb RAM, 256HD and it works like 2 pc effortlessly when I am using dual screens. Looking to get the HP 850 G6 now.
This video helped me a lot to choose this laptop as a second unplugged computer for writing and watching movies. Very affordable, great performance and with slots to expand memory and storage. And with Bang & Olufsen sound system. I couldn't ask for more! Thank you.
@@glambyaliceta No, I don't use an external monitor, but in principle it shouldn't give you any problems. Try updating the firmware on your laptop or changing the cable or connector. It should help.
I'm using i7 variant and it's performance is great in 2024. It is better than latest i3 laptop in 2024.but I would not suggest gaming in it. But if you are considering for coding or editing it's great then go for it.
Disk read and write speeds are specified in megaBYTEs per second (MB/s), whereas network speeds are in megaBITs per second (Mb/s or Mbps). 1 Megabyte is 8 Megabits.
After four years of using it working from home, When I boot it up i'm starting to get this issue where i'm getting the message that the fan doesn't turn on. The computer deactivates as a proquestionary measure and then I turn it back on and it works perfectly.
This will depend on what OS you’re running bit more so in your battery health and battery brand. Always try to get the OEM batteries when possible. If you call HP sometimes they will have new ones and close to new 96-97% battery health remaining and up for cheap. One time I bought a battery from them that came out of a damaged laptop and they sold it to me for $30 CAD and when I installed it and tested it, it had 7 charge cycles and was at 100% battery health. 🙏🙏💯
"Good" always depends on what you want to do with it. Run Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077> No. Run Office, watch a full HD movie, maybe simple 4K content, play a game on low settings>Yes.
If you're just starting out I would say possibly depending on what program or programs you'll be using. Aim for 8th gen and higher to be safe my friend. 🙏
Thanks for the review sir, but please get familiar with the basic terminology, you have confused mega bits with mega bytes. And it would be really nice to have an info about the size of the display.
The Surface Pro 5 will surprise most users if power and portability is important. I like the build quality a bit better in the Pro 5 when up against the EliteBook in my opinion. 🙏

Can you update ram and ssds and to how much
You can update Ram and SSD, it can cost you around 2000 PKR for 4GB RAM and 3500 for 128GB SSD@@Ahmad-os3si
I am still using this laptop. Just loved it.
Thanks for that mate. Was thinking of buying a refurb job for my daughter. Feel well informed now.
Pleasure 🙏 Really glad it helped and thank you for your comment and support my friend. 🙏
Are refurb jobs for this computer still good enough today?

Let them check the fan for overheating issues, that's why she's trying to safe herself. It may be dust
My g2 does that but it says HP BATTERY ALERT and my g3 says POST Error
BRO HOW DID YOU INSTALL WINDOWS 11 ON IT ? I HAVE THE SAME MODEL AND IT SHOWS WIN 11 NOT SUPPORTED
You'll have to use Windows Bypassed version for Unsupported machines. There are great videos on how to do it here on RUclips. 🙏

Mine just turns off and on randomly. I can’t do anything with it 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Would you recommend getting this laptop 2nd hand or the HP 250 G9 15.6-inch FHD Laptop - Intel Celeron N4500?
I would go with this one only because you will get a far better experience out of this i5 in comparison to any Intel Celeron CPU. 🙏
Please dont get celeron. Mine's a celeron, it's so slowww
Anything but a celeron 😂
hey! i was curious to know how you got windows 11 on this computer as the 6th generation of intel processors arent really supported
Please, is it good for Cyber security work?

To new buyer and new laptop user hw dis hp 840 g3 good 4 us?
hi, can i replace this laptop cpu with i7 6th gen? or 16 gb ram upgradation is how effective for performance?
you can upgrade the ram and that'll increase the performance, but you can't replace the cpu
Change in the SSD mind improvement
I bought this leptop with 16 ram
,ssd m.2, i5, for 185$. Did i make good purchases?
Is it good.?
"Good" always depends on what you want to do with it.
Run Witcher 3 or Cyberpunk 2077> No.
Run Office, watch a full HD movie, maybe simple 4K content, play a game on low settings>Yes.
macbook air 2020 or this laptop?
Can i play euro truck on this? If not can you recommend me some
Should I buy the 840 g3 or is there any big difference in the 840 g4🤷🏽♂️
G4 will be the next gen up so newer CPU but if the price is noticeably better on the G3 I would go for that one.
You didn't take us through the I/O on the computer.
Next time. Thank you for the reminder brother. 🙏
Is it good for students
Would I be able to run stream labs on it?
Is this system good for Graphics designer
If you're just starting out I would say possibly depending on what program or programs you'll be using. Aim for 8th gen and higher to be safe my friend. 🙏
No DVD player, so I can't watch my DVD movie collection on it. Shame. I'll have to go for an older HP ProBook, I think.
Can i run android virtual device on this?
Is it good for gaming
What kind of games? If online browser based games, then yes.
can i play the sims 4 on it
Make sure you have a Samsung SSD and minimum 8GB RAM and you should be fine my friend.
