    HP EliteBook 850 G6 in-depth review

    While some manufacturers are introducing big redesigns on their premium business notebook series, HP is only doing a minor refresh. What does that include? Well, they have included the Whiskey Lake CPU line-up from last year over the Kaby Lake R, which honestly is the slightest of updates. However, the device can now be paired with an AMD Radeon RX 550 and is fitted with up to a 4K IPS display for those, who really need the extra sharpness.Other than that, the design is ultimately unchanged. This, on the other side, is not entirely a bad thing, as the aluminum body was very rigid on the last-year model.

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    One of the sleeker and good looking business notebooks on the market. Despite the great design, interestingly, it is 99.9% the same as its predecessor - both on the outside, and inside - take a look.Check out all HP EliteBook 850 G6 prices and configurations in our Specs System or read more in our In-Depth review.1. Remove the bottom plate To access the internals, you have to remove the bottom panel of this device. It is held in place by 10 Phillips-head screws, which actually remain attached to the plate even when you unscrew them. Good forward-thinking, HP.2. Battery As[...]
