I've been using Elitebook 840's since G1's and this is the best yet. The keyboard layout has changed for the better. The weight and battery are amazing. Goes great with my usb-c dock. Windows 11 runs on it like a champ.
Just unpacked and setup the laptop. Install worked like a charm, including the upgrade to Windows 11. Laptop seems FAST. Now to find a thunderbolt dock. I noticed that the HP support assistant says that my warranty started on 11/7 but I purchased on 12/5. I'll have to call about this.
This was for my son who is in high school. He likes it. His only complaint is that it makes a loud noise whenever he moves it on the chair-desks in class because of the rubber-like feet. I loved it. I have a very similar model from work that has a lot of good features. I love the keyboard and trackpad. A night and day different experience from Dell XPS keyboard, which has the tendency for specific keys to stop working and the trackpad is frustratingly over-sensitive even when set to the lowest sensitivity setting. I want to get one this HP Elitebooks as my personal machine.
Camera is losing the left side of the image, even though it's less than a month old. Shoddy components! Fingerprint sensor is totally unreliable, compares unfavorably to any Apple device
Not having an actual ethernet slot is a real pain, I had to spend $$ on an adapter that does not work well and then had to spend much more money on a docking station.
Love this laptop. Online reviews and 100s of them 4/5 start made this pick very easy. This laptop did not disappoint and worked exactly as reviewed by so many technical folks online. During Windows 10 to 11 switch I lost full functionality of two of our office computers hence I purchased this. HP recommending Windows 10 Pro over 11 reflects lots of love, care and courage on HP's part. HP is run by beautiful technical folks; top to bottom and bottom up indeed : ^ ) !
