日本HP EliteBook 860 G10 review – snappy and light office device with all-metal build
Most modern business devices are universal machines with neutral designs that can be used also for normal daily tasks or even for light gaming. Just like the HP EliteBook 860 G10 which has a big 16:10 display. It’s a good choice for people who are often on the go and need a thin and light big-screen notebook.
So, you can choose between five display variants – four 1200p IPS units (there are some touchscreens in the mix) and an optional 2.8K OLED panel. In terms of power, we can spot eight CPU options including Raptor Lake U and P-series chips. That’s good because if battery life and comfort under load are important for you, a 15W processor is a much better choice compared to a 28W chip. The latter is suitable for users who need more processor power and who will use the notebook mainly with the AC adapter plugged in.
The security seems on point if you pay extra for all optional features such as an IR Web camera, fingerprint reader, and a vPro CPU. Still, the privacy shutter, the TPM 2.0 chip, the Nano Security Lock Slot, the Secured-Core PC configuration lock, and the HP BIOSphere Gen 6 (a self-healing BIOS function) are standard extras for all machines.
