got mine a couple a days ago. Love the build quality, hate the sound (like on all laptops), a lot of initial updates, fantastic keyboard, way to many built in HP app's and some are in conflict with windows. But for a 14" laptop that is built to last: Just bought it a $200 leather case; Nuff said.

I like this a lot more than the Dell Latitude 7000 series. More bang for the buck and this is way more stylish. I am looking for a laptop that I will be able to use in Automotive tech school down the road, and I think this is durable and powerful enough (but also stylish and compact enough) to fit the bill! Awesome review!

I agree with you - HP has been blowing it up with their new laptops. I recently purchased an HP ZBook 14u G5. It’s basically the same chassis, keyboard, etc. as the 840 G5. I think that the build quality is on par with MacBook Pros plus the HP EliteBooks and ZBooks are user-serviceable.

@chronot1342 5 жыл бұрын

Hi whats the differences between the zbook you bought and the 840g5? What made you choose the zbook over the elite book?

@timthesheriff 5 жыл бұрын

The main different that I'm aware of is that the Z Book has discrete graphics as well as integrated graphics. That's why I chose it over the other options. I think that the screen is better on the Z Book as well, but I'm not sure.

Fan is indeed NOT blowing hot air in your right hand when you're resting it next to the laptop but INSTEAD blowing it on your left hand, or anything else you might have next to the laptop.. don't know why they didn't just integrate the cooling into the hinge of the laptop.. keyboard IS backlit BUT you have to manually activate the backlight I'm guessing? I also only see one button for it so I'm guessing it's similar to the G1 I have where you have 3 states (full brightness, half brightness and off), which is really annoying to cycle through all the time I honestly don't know how they haven't added a light sensor to make the process automatic yet.. actually is there a single PC laptop that HAS an automatic backlight?

@curtischristensen5978 3 жыл бұрын

4k video editing is possible if you purchase a laptop with at least 32 GB or RAM - but the work would probably still be painfully slow. 4K video editing should be done on a workstation with 32 - 64 GB of RAM, a video card such as Nvidia 4GB of ram, a Xenon processor and a large internall SSD drive. If the video editing work is light and not demanding you might be able to use a laptop. But serious work should be done on a dedicated video workstation.

Plus the built quality cant be compaired with the Dells or Lenovos... on per with the MacBooks

I have HP 840 G5 with HP Sure View and it's not so great. If you are traveling a lot and you need the privacy filter then it's fine. In case you use the laptop in the office or at home without the privacy filter then the better option is the middle range display with 400 cd/m2. When you have the display with HP Sure View and it's OFF then the image is not so great. The backlight is blocked and is changing depends on the angle. It's annoying. THen the only option is to use an external monitor. In my opinion, it's good to have HP Sure View ONLY if you really need the privacy filter on a daily bases!
