A very concrete breakdown of the pros and cons. I overall like the laptop, but wanted to state them as objective as possible.
NEW HP Review: • HP Pavilion 15z Laptop...
Perfect. Details, shots, usage, and thoughts. Boom, boom, boom. Subbed.
Cheers man, I'm buying one and your review was just that little bit of reassurance I needed (that i couldn't find elsewhere) to know it was right for me
hey if you've bought this laptop can u please tell me how to turn on the baclit key board on this thing
I had purchased the G1 two years ago for $120 (USD) and it had 4 gigs of ram and a 250 gig hard drive. Upgraded the hard drive to a 1TB SSD and 16 gigs of ram. The last thing I did was changed the keyboard this year. It runs great for the price and very reliable.
Hey larry, Hp 840 G2 vs Dell 7440 i5 4th. Which will be better? Can you tell please. I can't make the choice
Is this good for video editing software like camtasia, adove premiere or any other?
no
Its running very slow, what should I do to fix this problem
Interesting.. my G3 at work came with 1 USB port on each side (total of 2). Australia location :)
My G3 did too.
Will this laptop be able to run Adobe Premiere Pro?
i run after effects cs6 and photoshop on 8gb ram with the laptop
Unequivocally yes
I see fingerprint sensor, is that sensor working?
What specific model do you have? I like it can be upgraded easily. I am planning to get the elitebook 840 g4 $1,180 but it a little bit difference than yours.
Have you brought it, I'm going to buy it now. Can you share your experience with this lap
ive played company of heroes, command and conquer 4, league of legends, and most strategy based games, i would try rolling back the video driver or updating it if it can be, or try updating bios that helps.
Hi, I have elite book i7 6gen 8gb ram. It is literally brand new and I've charged it too 100%. When I unplugged it it appears that 99% battery will last me for 3 hours 10 minutes only. I've tried to reduce the brightness and to run a battery troubleshooting (through the HP Support Assistant) and I've also checked the battery health after running an energy report and it seems to be 100000% healthy(if that makes sense). Do you have any suggestions why is that battery appearing to last me for only 3 hours if it's in full working condition?
What fifa 19 or gta do they work
Am confused is this a G1 or G2 🤔
i have this laptop with a core i5 and 16gb of ram, i would recommend you to get windows 10 on it, mine came with windows 7, but i upgraded to windows 10 and i find it to be a good bit faster and even better battery life, i also upgraded 7200rpm hdd to a 1tb ssd and a m.2 to a 512gb witch windows is on, this laptop definitely a great machine. my next upgrade would be a 1920x1080 screen, i don't mind the 1600x900 screen, but the viewing angles suck and i would prefer a 1080p display
You have i5 4300u?
You will never have good viewing angles unless you have an IPS screen.
Kristian Dawe is this the 840 g1?
do you have 840 G1? planning for m.2 installation. does it support 512GB ? what M.2 you installed in it? SATA or PCIe? what length ie 2242?
I have an 840 g2, and I love this barebone design too, All parts of laptop are replaceable and easy to find in web. I have and 745 g2 before and only changed motherboard, wifi card and smartcard board to convert it to 840 g2. In mine I have an sata ssd but next upgrade is an nvme ssd, I don't know if this will work but I will try.
1-I would like to kwon the factory year of this device?2- Unfortunately spread glass of bear over the keyboard, now most of buttons aren't working: Kindly help with support, fixing?
Check out the Amazon link I posted. Should be same model.
I just need something for Video editing.. mostly 1080p but some 4k and a little photo editing. Is this a good choice for that?
4k no, im gonna be doing a review soon for HP Pavilion I will be testing the 4k, but you can do everything but 4k with this laptop I would say
If u add more ram and a graphics card(dedicated)
Hp 840 G2 vs Dell 7440 i5 4th. Which will be better? Can you tell please. I can't make the choice
would you say it has a good speed like to load things and stuff
View angles of the screen? Resolution of the screen? Didn't this range have a touch interface, what about that?And maybe some comments on the touchpad....
Viewable from all sides. 1366x768. Some models have touch some don't. Nice touchpad with touchpad lock and very responsive touchpad.
Thanks bro, wanted to know that port that resembles HDMI port on one side. It's on the right near the jack pin port.
Display Port
How do I connect this to my TV? It's a flat-screen, HD TV with HDMI ports, but not a smart TV. I have purchased a DVI - HDMI converter, and have been struggling for two hours.
A displayport to HDMI converter would be good for this, as I have used one to do that with my work G3. e.g. www.startech.com/en-us/audio-video-products/dp2hdmi2
you can run starcraft 2 on this? Does it run well??
Hello, can someone help me please.. I have recently bought a new HP elitebook 840 g3 and since turning it on it's fan runs constantly and it is very laud. Should I return it or there is some easy solution how to fix it ? Also , the battery life it is very short, and it's indicative hours fluctuate even I do not change any settings. I would appreciate if someone could reply to this query.
TheGabryte I would definitely return it to the store. the fan on mine would run sometimes but only when I was using multiple applications. also the battery life should be consistent not fluctuating. I would download core temp and see the temp. shouldn't be higher then 45 Celsius. also try opening the bottom it should be easy and see if the fan is obstructed or has dust or loose cabling around fan. HONESTLY I think it's a motherboard issue. I would return and save yourself the headache.
Imitation38 thank you for your response and honest advice - I am in process of returning this laptop.
that is a beast computer, was looking at a used one but at 265 USD still, can't justify it as a secondary machine to primarily watch videos and surf the web only getting 6-10 hrs of use a week.
BLACKOMI that's a great price for it
i know im late but will this run world of warships or war thunder smoothly
How you can wrote ÄÖÜ ?
For today's web browsing, do you suggest buying the same model?
While the category is out?
Yeah it's still a great laptop, best in the $350-450 range of for build and mobile use IMO.
Thankful
I bought it for $ 250 this laptop
Now, there's a SSD slug question, which SSD for this device, along with a HDD 500GB drive
Is this the 840 g1? Or 840 g2?
840 G1
These are competitors to MacBook .840 no dvd drive , but HDMI output
If this had a dedicated GPU, definitely this
What is the charger specifiaction of this laptop
how do u insert a sd card in hp elitebook 840
Best budget laptop in the $350-450 range. Best build, best keyboard, great ports, great processor and battery life, but average screen(although bright).
You can buy them even cheaper from University / College Surplus locations. I just bought one for $100, just have to put a hard drive in it.
Wow, that sounds like an absolute steal. For anyone wanting an all around laptop if they could get one of these for anywhere below $300 there's really no better deal.
difficult changes in keyboard.
Hello a question Can I replace the standard hard drive 500 with a high-speed SSD 256GB?
4300U processor and 4GB memory
Ali Ghanbari yes just make sure the specs match the laptop as size, speed it can handle, and so forth. But yes Should work I replaced mine with a ssd
Another question I updated the BIOS but the new version on the logo HP takes too long, can this be fixed?
is it goood for a software engioneering student?
Yes it's
Do u recommend this laptop to freelancers????
Why My Laptop hp 840 Elitebook Win7 From China?!?
I don't like the fact that it doesn't have hdmi port
True, but it is possible to get a converter from DisplayPort to HDMI. Such as www.startech.com/en-us/audio-video-products/dp2hdmi2
Is this laptop still good for Forex Trading and multitasking
How do you add multiple screens?
How?
is there no hdmi port?
Is the bottom built in metal? or is just plastic? please i appreciate your help
it is metal
It's plasic. The interior is metal.
@@rish77778 No. The interior is soft spongy material.
Does screen open 180 degrees
How do u insert ur sim
Does it have Bluetooth ?
Does screen open flat
Why does this NB need 2 LAN card? .🤔🤔
there any finger print sensor
yes
How can i enable my fingerprint device ? plzz tell me
Install hp protect security tools software from internet, you got for solution...
i have this laptop with i7 4600 processor and 12 gb ram
G1?
Does it have the fingerprint sensor
Yes
does it support fifa 18 ?
i never tested.....maybe in low settings as some games even though they say they need a video card might still support it but it will be VERY SLOW, these are the minimum requirments for that game, my educated guess would be no.
CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 / AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz
CPU SPEED: Info
RAM: 8 GB
OS: 64-bit Windows 7
VIDEO CARD: Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 or AMD Radeon R7 260 (1 GB)
FREE DISK SPACE: 50 GB
What you think is better,status A, Thinkpad t450 or Elitebook 840 g2 booth with the same processors and SSDs
Is this g4? G3? G1?
Looks like a G1.
The keyboard is all black. On G2-G4 keys are black but the "background" is silver. The lid is black on G1 and G2 vs silver/grey on G3 and G4. G3 and G4 also have B&O seakers. Just to mention some visible differences.
G1
@@HandsomeMoose hi there, Im thinking to get this model of Laptop, but I was wondering if you know the main differences between the G1 G2 and G3 ?? Thanks
+@@arqgus2471 Well, I am no expert on these. I have a 850 G4 and an old 840 G1. However there are many different modells of every version out there. For example many different modells of the 840 G1. Different regarding harddrive (SSD or HDD and its size), processor (i5 or i7 and different clock speeds) and other stuff. In general, besides the small visual changes, newer generations have faster processors. But remember that for example an 840 G2 can be different than another 840 G2. To compare them you need the version number. If you know the version number you might compare them here www.gadgetsnow.com/compare-laptops
All of them seem well built and looks good in my opinion. Now there is even a G5 available with a bit different design.
core i3or i5
How much RAM
4/8
Maximum 16GB of Ram and there is an i5 variant and an i7 variant (4th gen).
Can I run sims 4?
Highly Likely
took me some time to get rid of bing ..
Can u give gaming review in these laptop
I5 is still relevant but it can run hot
Does it have a DVD Drive?
Iddi Ganguma no
You can get DVD drives very cheaply on the bay of E.
No
Game on this thing? Those have a puny intel 520 integrated graphics (assuming 6th gen intel cpu), what game can u possibly run on it... SC2 you say, low details most likely?
What exact model is this, is it a G3? (a code would be best i.e T9X21EA)
tyraelpl I've played league of legends on this, company of heroes, command and conquer, most strategy games will play on this and.... minesweeper yes that will play as well.
what about counter strike go,call of duty mw2 or black ops 2?
Hi if you can tell me is that ok for gaming and fast enough? 840, 4gh ram 320gb Is this going to be ok for gaming?
Can please if anyone can help me?
is it good for audio producton (fl studio and that kind of stuff)
Yes. 8 gig ram is perfect for music production
@@michaelwilliams9278 what's your opinion on this for audio production?...haven't made my purchase yet. Will run mixcraft 8, Abelton, and Protools.
Hell no its not
@@ileryon4019 you just bought the cheap version im actually using it right now i got the 16g i7 varient and its relevant as fuck it may be an old laptop but im running fl20 and omnisphere with no problems
It can run GTA 5 telll me pls?????)
32 or 64 bits ?
64
what about keyboard backlight
i actually never tested that, great question. i believe it does
Yes it does. It stays off when not in use and lights up once you start using it. Not too bright - just right.
Thanks Guys .. I got Hp Folio 9470m instead
How to change intensity of keypad backlight ?
i use my g2 for gaming and it works just fine with games like a modern combact roblox and afew others aswell so u can game alot on this pc if u want

where sd slot
Dragon Lee Productions its kinda hidden, but it's there
Pros:
Light
Long battery life
Quiet
Backlit keyboard
Easy upgrades
Cons:
Cpu soldered
Hard to change TIM on the cpu
No numpad
No fullhd screen
Overall those cons are always with thin and light really
2ndhand bought one for 150 bucks with 8gb ram and 180gb ssd
Great deal
Nice upgrade for the probook 6570b I've had
Same speed
But much lighter
Great for some photo editing my dslr shots in adobe lightroom and photoshop on the go because of the sd card slot
There is a Full HD IPS screen.
the real question is, does it play osrs smoothly?! thanks wise old man
Can it be used for programming?

@@kfaulk1 yay im copy now
What is it like for music making/editing
I have used traktor Pro 2 before but not on this laptop. I would say if using a program similiar to that the processer may not be quite enough. you can upgrade the RAM and it will definetly be faster but honestly not sure this is the best laptop for that, I'd go with a zbook.
imitation38 thank you for the feedback
imitation38 can processor be upgraded?
What is the price of this laptop
New I've seen $1k+ but decent used ones can go for $200-300
how many inches is the screen?
this one is 14inch but they range from 13 to 14
Wow, you are reviewing 14 inch notebook and the con is that the screen is not 15 inch, wow!
Is there a way to play DVDs on this laptop?
you have to buy an external usb dvd player. Also DVDs? I am glad some people out there are still using that! Occasionally I watch old movies via dvd as the ISP is now charging you extra if you go over your data cap for internet (cough cough komkast) so media streaming is a data suck.
Hey bro.....i have hp elite book i7 4th Gen 8gb ram. Version laptop.......so I can run gta 5 on it????
sorry man but no. maybe gta3
If u add 8 more GB ram and a dedicated gpu, yea
Try Tetris pal.
i have the same laptop and when u say gaming which games have you played cause every game i played i get graphic card error?thanks gor and info on this issue
Company of Heroes 1, League of Legends, Command & Conquer, Path of Exile, Diablo 2, pretty much most strategy games, won't run first person shooters however
Is this the 840 G1 or the G2?
What about PUBG to play
most people don't like the ethernet port
how do you connect to your TV or second screen ?
this laptop touch screen
Is this touchscreen
No
"The con : The screen is not that good."
That's what you get when you buy a 720P screen laptop...
Base-Plate please reply how good is it with roblox games like jailbreak and what are the fps on max graphics and how is it on fortnite
Nah it's 1920x1080
That's the 820
