4 reasons to BUY the HP EliteBook 745 G6
1.Cool and quiet
The peak temperature of 67°C under heavy load is a good result and on top of that the shell remains reasonably cool – we measured just 39°C. Most of the time, the cooling fan spins at pretty relaxed RPM’s, and the machine is quite silent.
2. Good keyboard and touchpad
The keyboard is good enough for long typing sessions – its keycaps have a bit short key travel (but still decent), its feedback is clicky and it’s on the quiet side too so you can concentrate better.
3. Decent port selection
The I/O features a good amount of ports. On the left side, we can spot a USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port (with charging function) and an optional Smartcard reader. On the right side – a charging plug, a USB Type-C (with DisplayPort capabilities), a dock connector, an RJ-45 port, an HDMI 2.0 connector, a USB Type-A 3.1 (Gen. 1) port, an audio jack, and a MicroSD card reader.
4. The display part 1
This laptop is equipped with a 14″ Full HD panel (LG LP140WFA-SPD3 LGD060F). Its viewing angles are comfortable, the contrast ratio is ok – 950:1, and there is no sign of PWM usage so the panel can be used for prolonged sessions of work.

1. The display part 2
On the other hand, the panel has poor sRGB color coverage – just 50%. Even after applying our “Gaming and Web Design” its colors aren’t the most accurate out there with a result of a bit over 4.0.
