The laptop runs on Windows 10 Professional 64 bit but is downgradable to Windows 7 Professional if it is needed in any case.

For visual testing, we benchmark Windows PCs' graphics with two DirectX 12 gaming simulations from UL's 3DMark, Night Raid (more modest, suitable for laptops with integrated graphics) and Time Spy (more demanding, suitable for gaming rigs with discrete GPUs). Perhaps more notably, the EliteBook remained quiet and cool, no matter the workload: I never noted any undue fan noise or warmth. We also run two tests from the cross-platform GPU benchmark GFXBench 5, which stresses both low-level routines like texturing and high-level, game-like image rendering.We're talking productivity performance here, and I never heard anyone talk about the 15W chips that we've seen in previous years. Built to the military's MIL-STD 810G standard, the 840 G1 can survive more than average wear than tear. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers and/or software to take full advantage of Windows functionality.

HP now ships its business notebooks with Kaby Lake processors as well, but the rest is pretty much unchanged. There are subtle differences between the connectivity options when comparing EliteBook 840 G7 models with G8 counterparts. They mention that it works pretty well, is in excellent condition, and functions just as a brand new laptop would. Discover new levels of productivity and security that are easy to manage even in hybrid working environments with the HP EliteBook 840 G9 Business Notebook. We make sure the battery is fully charged before the test, with Wi-Fi and keyboard backlighting turned off.Please note that currently we do not ship products or deliver services (unless otherwise stated in the HP Care Pack features) outside mainland UK or to overseas, to the Channel Islands, internationally or to P. Like with most Intel PCs these days, it uses a MediaTek 5G modem (for some reason, I don't see many Snapdragon 5G models in Intel PCs anymore), which is branded as Intel 5G. It’s my go-to now for just about everything, and my only regret is that I’ve not been able to fly with it yet. per cent of the sRGB colour gamut, which is high, and reds, greens and blues all looked bright and crisp. I've reviewed many, many laptops with 12th-gen processors, and all of my best experiences have been with U-series CPUs.
