I made a great choice in buying this laptop. I'm loving it already. Great for programming.

It's used at my job. It's a good laptop for most office work tasks. Only issues:

- The motherboard is sensitive, so be careful when upgrading RAM or SSD.
- No HD camera, so not good for sales/consultants that are in frequent Teams or Zoom meetings.
- Brightness 🌞 levels are low for its price tag.

I'm really impressed with this laptop Andrew! Don't underestimate HP in 2023 is what I say. You're correct in that upgradeability is the name of the game and it's always been that for me. Having said that, I believe you should customize a laptop when ordering it just incase you find out it has limited upgradeability later on. It's what I always do. Great video Andrew. Thank you!! 👍😁

all elitebooks since g5 have fantastic touchpads. they're much better than what lenovo and dell has on similarly priced models.

I've been using Elitebooks for a very long time. What I'm amazed at, is the fact that they don't put one usb-c/TB port on either side so you can charge from either side. I liked your review on the Lenovo slim 9i, and just bought it the other day based on your excellent review.

wonder how good is the performance on battery when you compared to its AMD version the 845 g9. I use the the 845 G7 (ryzen 4750U) and i get around 13-14 hours of light use

Thanks for the video. So well made. Lately, HP has been giving users what they really want. At my next upgrade, there is a very high chance I'll be getting a HP.

Nice thorough review. I am using this bad boy :-)

Thank you for sharing this HP Laptop 💻💜

Nice PC for the business user. Camera and mics are good. Upgradeability is excellent, no doubt. Keyboard design is very good and neatly laid out. On these silver colored units putting in a keyboard with dark keys makes sense. The blacklight on this type of keyboard works well compared to those units with the light colored keys. Excellent review.

Where's the 845? Wonder how they compare with regards to battery life.

There have been some fantastic deals on the Ryzen version of this - the EliteBook 845 G9. I'm typing this on one now, it's great. Same chassis as the 840 G9, excellent build quality, ports, and upgradability, outstanding keyboard and webcam. I paid under $600 for a Ryzen 5 6600U and 16GB RAM, performs about as well as the Core i7-1280P but with way better thermals. The USB 4 ports support Thunderbolt, so now there's really zero reason to choose the Intel version.

Andrew, thank you for the new upload.

I hope we will see you do live review of the new dual screen Yoga.
It's a very interesting laptop I've seen in a while, imo.

[ibiscar]

Awesome video. One question, do you think a 840 G6 is a good buy still, in 2023?

[hamiltons.]

Hey Andrew, what happened to the full review of the ThinkBook 16p? I watched your live on it. Was hoping for your recommendation! :)

[tasib.]

Hi sir, Which one much better compering between Hp elitebook 840 g9 vs 845 g9 ? Which one had better graphics? Thank you

[kingmargie]

Does this generation still use the old model? I remember the old version has a sharp edge on the bottom which is not very comfortable to hold.

[ItsMeProday]

Nice improvement from last model. Great camera and terrible microphone. Love to see smart card reader, I don't know way lenovo doesn't use it in x1 carbon series

[rainier_graeme_nii]

I'm getting a G10, is it also upgradable?
