日本HP EliteBook 650 G10 review – offers capable cooling solution and long battery life
Since we already have a review for the HP EliteBook 860 G10, now it’s time to see what the HP EliteBook 650 G10 has to offer. The smaller sibling comes at a lower price and expectedly there are some cut downs here and there. The first noticeable difference is the 15.6″ panel with a regular 16:9 aspect ratio.
Speaking of which, there are ten display options (yes, ten) and we can spot some 768p units in the mix as well as a touchscreen variant. Still, most of the screens are 1080p models but read the specs very carefully before buying.
Just like its premium “cousin”, the 650 G10 version relies on Raptor Lake U or P-series CPUs. This time around, you get DDR4 memory which is a cost-saving solution. On the other hand, we can hint that the upgradability is good and the same applies to the I/O.
The connectivity is up to date – Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3. You can also pay extra for an optional WWAN card, fingerprint reader, and an IR camera. We are happy to see that the privacy shutter, the TMP 2.0 chip, and the self-healing bios are standard features for all devices. If you want your laptop to be as secure as possible, you can opt for a vPro processor. For gamers in the office, there is an optional dGPU and HP claims that the notebook has passed many MIL-STD 810H tests.
