HP EliteBook 845 G10 14" WUXGA Touchscreen Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 Pro 7540U 3.2GHz, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 11 Pro, Silver

Installed a smart card reader only to find out HP disables the feature in BIOS on certain models. No way to enable it, making the reader useless. Misleading and disappointing." Also, doing clean install of windows and installing drivers from AMD often makes it brick, and only option to fix white screen is to doing clean install again.

I bought this unit at a discount from HP; I suspect it is about to be discontinued. If you can still get it, it's a LOT of bang for the buck. I doubt I'll run out of storage space with a 1 TB SSD, and 32GB of RAM ensures my apps run w/o lag. Some may not like the AMD Ryzen 7 CPU, but I feel there is little difference between this CPU and mid- to lower-end Intel Core i7 CPUs, and it beats all Intel Core i5 CPUs in performance. Please note this was intended for use as a business computer, and as such the video processor is nothing to write home about. If you are a hardcore gamer you will be disappointed, but if you're not, you'll be happy, as the graphics are good enough for casual gamers. The touch screen is responsive, and that alone is worth the price for this unit. I have some concerns about battery life. I have yet to do a full charge-to-zero test but it seems to be a little under the 3 to 4 hour lifespan advertised. However, I am using this as a desktop replacement with a third-party docking station, and it is rarely unplugged from my desk. All in all, I'm very pleased with this computer from HP.

Laptop has all the bells and whistles to make it run fast and smoothly but the battery last just over an hour so not very portable. I like this laptop for everything but the battery life. It is fast and works great. I am returning my purchase because the reason for getting a laptop is to have something portable and on every setting the battery just doesn't last long.

Great laptop! The touch screen is awesome and it's a perfect size.

I was shopping for a new laptop on Black Friday, looking for one with a faster processor. The model I selected, with the assist from HP SmartFriends agent, was without a doubt the answer. My processor is lightening fast, and matches the huge expense I'm paying to have a high-speed Internet connection. Price went from 2200.00 down to 499.00...I couldn't say no. Best choice of the year!

This is another sturdy, high-quality business laptop showing from HP that ticks all the right checkboxes at its price point. It's also great to see AMD models being on par with Intel models in terms of laptop build quality and features, along with plenty of model choices available. A big OEM based out of Texas still doesn't do this and it's quite disgraceful really. Anyways, do your research as it may take some time to figure out which SKU's offer a certain feature that you want, e.g. a touchscreen display. This isn't the latest generation anymore for the EB 845 line but still very relevant and strong in terms of performance as a general-purpose business laptop, especially when the price is right.

I am very satisfied with the HP EliteBook. I had only one glitch when setting up the HP, I needed this one to be alone from my other HP's and did not.

This computer was great out of the box, but about 2 weeks in, the operating system became corrupted beyond repair by any of the usual tools. Without any restore points, image backups, or even a factory restore partition, the windows media creation tool had to be used to reinstall windows and download and reinstall all the drivers. Not sure how to check for this upon unboxing, but wanted to be sure HP and buyers are aware!

I like my 845 G10. It's a good laptop. I like the case, the matte screen and the keyboard. Bonus points to HP for not putting stickers. A few annoyances: the hp telemetry services that come back with each windows update. H P should fix that. Then Wolf Security. I had to reinstall Windows ringer rid of all traces of that, including the firewall rules that were not removed as part of the uninstall. And finally the horrible Wolf Security boot logo. It's creepy and looks unprofessional. Fortunately there is a script in the client management script library to replace it, but really, HP? Please provide a BIOS option.

I bought this to replace a Thinkpad that died a couple weeks out of warranty. I heard good things about the EliteBook product line as a good alternative business laptop vs. Thinkpad (and my annoyance at Lenovo wrt. warranty). So far, this EliteBook is ok. The compute performance is fine. The computer is kind of heavy for its size. There are unresolved driver bugs (AMD graphics) that cause rendering issues in MS office and other technical software I use. The keyboard layout is stupid and annoying. The arrow keys are half size, and page up/down fill up the other half space. So when I'm just trying to edit text, I end up jumping all over the page. The fn and ctrl keys are next to each other, so I frequently get the wrong behavior on those. The battery life is abysmal for a portable workbook. I would say that I get <2 hrs of life under normal usage patterns.

I ordered a unit with a touch screen, but received something else. Second time this happened during the past 6 weeks. When I sought an exchange, sales rep wanted me to pay twice the price for a comparable unit. Bait and switch. The first unit I ordered on Black Friday was less than $700. The second $1,200. This time HP rep quoted a price of more than $2,000.

The sound is terrible as the speakers are located on the bottom of the laptop in the middle, like other business laptops where they are either on top or underneath but at the very front so the sound comes towards you. You will definitely need a Bluetooth speaker or headphones due to this design flaw. Also, HP has been unable to help me get this laptop to stay connected to a wireless display. Elite tech support bounces me around from one person to another and nobody has an answer as of yet over one week now.

it was suddenly turned off without warning. I was creating a document which is lost. After I powered on again, it shows the bit locker asking for pin which I don't have.

Received damage laptop in the mail. This was my first elitebook purchase, and may be my last. At first the exchange process was easy I sent pics and they immediately set up a replacement order which did not ship right away. Almost 2 weeks later and still hasn't shipped. This laptop was recorded for my business ASAP.
