HP EliteBook 845 G10 review – fast office machine with powerful and efficient Zen 4 CPU
At first glance, the HP EliteBook 845 G10 may look like a slightly different version of the EliteBook 640 G10, but the former is a more premium device that is based on the latest and greatest AMD Zen 4 CPUs. No matter the compact dimensions, the top processor option is the mighty Ryzen 9 PRO 7940HS. You can choose among seven CPU options including Zen 4 non-PRO and PRO chips (Phoenix-U / Phoenix-HS). No dGPUs here but the new-gen iGPUs are pretty snappy, especially the Radeon 780M.
Display-wise, you can find this machine with four different 16:10 IPS panels. Three of them are 1200p units (including one touchscreen) and the most expensive variant is a 1600p model. We can hint that the upgradability is decent, and the I/O is up to date with its two Thunderbolt 4 ports. All devices rely on Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity.
If your wallet is wide enough, you can opt for extras like an IR Web camera, fingerprint reader, Smartcard reader, bigger battery, LTE or 5G eSIM functionality, and a backlit keyboard. Still, things like NFC, Bang & Olufsen speakers, self-healing bios, and a TPM 2.0 chip are standard features.
