I got the g1 (i5 4300u) for 90€ on ebay. It came without battery, hdd and charger. I bought all of that. 200€ total. Worth

Excellent video! Very thorough review of the performance of the HP840G2- which I am currently considering purchasing. Thank you for also showing the bottom of the PC, along with its internals. Most PC review videos usually don’t show these two very important aspects of the machine. Have you had any problems with heating or fan noise? Again, thank you for posting.

I have one of these, Im thinking of selling it. Dont get me wrong, it is a good machine that runs well. Its just large and heavy. But when I saw that I could get a convertible tablet that is up to date for today, and more convenient to handle, I decided thats just what I really wanted instead. I recently bought a refurbished Dell Latitude 7350. It does everything the HP can, but detaches into a tablet which comes in very handy when needed. And is a smaller and slightly lighter machine. Oh yeah, and with an upgraded M-core processor. I was very happy with the HP for what it does but I just wanted more the form factor of the Dell.

While the category is out?

thanks for a Good review, I am planning to buy a used laptop like Elitebook 8470p / 9470m or 840 G1. Will it be good for Illustrator CC 17 & Premiere pro CC 17 ? Or should I choose one with Graphics card ? Please give me a suggestion.
