[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HP EliteBook 840 14 inch G9 Notebook PC with Wolf Pro Security Edition is absolutely stunning. This lightweight laptop has a nice clean design and a size that is perfect for travel. With multiple ports and a card reader, this laptop has everything you would need to support all of your needed peripheral devices. Setup was very simple and took about 15 mins after initial boot up. The sound quality of the speakers isn't half bad for a compact laptop and I am pretty happy with the maximum volume. The screen has very nice contrast, rich blacks, vibrant color, incredible color range, sharp images, and fairly quick motion graphic rendering. The keyboard has a really nice responsive feel and is fairly quiet. For the price this laptop has all the bells and whistles you could ask for.
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

The workhouse of notebook PCs

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The HP EliteBook 840 14 Inch G9 Notebook PC - Wolf Pro Security Edition is exactly what it's name says, ELITE. This Notebook PC is steps ahead of any other computer. I love it's screen size of 14 Inch diagonal which feels perfect as it's not to big or small. It has HP Context Aware which uses AI based optimization to really hit home the response time and its performance. Of course since it is wolf pro security edition, it is highly protected to make you feel safe and secure. The cam is 5 mp and gives a clear picture when in use. It uses Intel Iris XE graphics for crisp flow and picture quality. The PC has a SSD capacity of 512 gb which is more than enough for your projects. The ram is 16gb which allowed the PC to run flawlessly. This computer is perfect for your business projects as well as leisure use. And it is very lightweight so not to be a pain when carrying around. Lastly, it has a very nice price point for all that it offers. I highly recommend this PC.
Pros: Affordable, Lightweight

Great laptop

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this because I needed a new laptop. It’s very easy to use. I can speak to it and it will text out what I’m saying. The wolf security keeps all information safe and private. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It wouldn’t be a disappointment.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very happy with the performance, boot ups are very fast compared to some of the other brands I have used. The screen is fantastic colors are spot on you can move the screen up down left or right of your view, there is a minimal color shift, the notebook is very thin and easy to transport from one location to another. USB ports are quick boots up files on USB drive fast, lighted keypad is nice to have keys are quite when typing noise from the laptop is As quiet as it can get, basically no fan noise. The SSD drive is fast, graphics look great and true color use it for photo editing before print been very happy with the prints. As quiet as it can get, basically no fan noise. The SSD drive is fast, graphics look great and true color use it for photo editing before print been very happy with the prints. Doesn't miss a beat when I have multiple windows open for work just doesn't slow down, battery life is not too bad I get with heavy use about 5.5 hours on a charge you can change the settings to get longer life on battery. Overall very happy with the notebook works perfect for all the applications I have been using it with.
Pros: Affordable, Lightweight

Large Touchpad, Compact Laptop, Great Performance
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: Matt Sc
from Midwest
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop rides the middle ground between compact/small and full sized-- while having good enough specs to really perform well as a business travel laptop. It's large enough that typing on it is not a hassle, the touchpad is sizeable, and the screen has enough real estate to actually see what you're working on. However, it's small enough that it's easy to pack, will fit in any backpack or bag, and you can plunk it on your lap or tray table when you're on the road.
From a specs side of things, this is not what you want for photo or video editing (it does have 16GB of RAM, but you would be better off with an i7 processor instead of the i5), but it'll handle multiple applications (Excel, Outlook, Chrome, AutoCAD viewer, etc.) open at the same time without bogging down. The version I ordered also has a 512GB SSD-- which in the day of DropBox and cloud storage is plenty large enough for work and being an SSD means startup is measured in a few seconds. Also, this laptop is new enough that it's eligible for Windows 11 Pro for free, which I decided to do on
the first start up and it was seamless. Works great.
the first start up and it was seamless. Works great.
For using this, the keyboard does lack a numberpad, but the keys do not seem scrunched together. They keys are backlit (a few different brightness levels of white are available) and they have a solid "click" feel to them without being obnoxiously loud like some of the clicky keyboards that are all the rage these days. I do like that keys such as the mute and CAPS lock do have little lights embedded in them so you can tell at a glance if they are active. The laptop has a spot for a lock, a couple of USB ports, 2 USB-C ports (which is how you charge this) and one HDMI out. It also has a headset jack as well as a slot for keycard access. All of these inputs are on the sides of the laptop and not on the front or back. The touchpad on this is generous in size and responsive. I have yet to run into any issues with misinterpreted left/right/double clicks. The fingerprint scanner is off to the side and generally it recognizes my finger on the first attempt for a quick log in.
I should mention that this also comes with a USB-C brick for charging. You can use any other USB-C brick you have on hand (if it has enough watts for a laptop), but the computer will yell at you if it's not an HP and recommend you use an HP branded charger. Battery life is decent, but it's not an all day battery. After 3-5 hours, you're going to want to be plugging it in depending on how heavily you're using the laptop.
As far as the software goes, I did immediately upgrade it to Windows 11 Pro for free and I have no complaints. The laptop does come preinstalled with some software, but it's not too bad. There is the usual HP bloatware you can ignore or uninstall as well as some Wolf Security software. I haven't had any issues with the security software yet and it actually does a decent job of ad blocking when online.
I haven't found anything to complain about on this laptop. I wish the battery life was a bit longer, but I'm not willing to sacrifice the screen size, overall laptop size, or laptop specs (processor, RAM, etc.) to get there. As it is, this is a perfect laptop for the business traveler. If you are using this as your full time work computer even at a desk, I would recommend a docking station so you can add a few screens and peripherals easily.
Pros: Lightweight

Great business laptop overall
on August 13, 2022
Posted by: RealNguyener
from Austin, TX
This HP Elitebook runs the latest 12 gen i5 core with 16GB of ram and an SSD HD, and came with windows 10 pro, with free upgrade to windows 11. The fingerprint reader is an excellent feature which makes authentication and unlocking the machine so quick. The keyboard buttons are well spaced and do not feel too small like many laptop keyboards. The chassis feels very solid for such a thin notebook and feels like high quality. Microphone and speaker are very clear for video conferences. I also own a Macbook Pro M1 for work, but the Macbook runs on ARM architecture, which has a major limitation with running Docker and Hypervisors. This HP handles running VMs and containers with ease. Very impressed with the performance! Would recommend
Pros: Lightweight

Perfect For Zoom Calls!
on August 16, 2022

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This HP 840 G9 is perfect for Zoom calls! It's lightweight and compact, so I can take it on the go anytime. I prefer my webcam on my desktop, however; the built-in camera on the notebook is not the greatest quality. I use the camera to interview and talk with parents (I'm a newborn nanny), so I was hoping for better. I also would've loved more memory. But I will use this often, for so many things! This will probably replace the tablet I have for reading and listening to music with baby. Better speed, and so lightweight I can pop it in my bag every day. And the graphics are crystal clear! Best notebook I've ever owned!
Cons: More RAM
Pros: Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this laptop, I’ve been needing one for awhile and can never decide what brand I wanna go with. I am so happy I went with this one, there’s so many cool features and different things that just not your regular laptop would have. The picture quality and camera quality is awesome, I use zoom a lot so it works great for video calling. Love this! Highly recommend.
Pros: Affordable, Lightweight
