The picture and sound quality are acceptable for communication purposes, but the primary camera of every low-priced smartphone provides much better results. The same 0.9 megapixel webcam including the array microphone as found in the EliteBook 850 G1 is available for video conferencing. Inserting a corresponding SIM card was a bit inconvenient because it has to be inserted in a slot under the battery.

In addition to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, our review sample also sports a mobile broadband modem (HP hs 3110), which enables the user to browse via UMTS/HSPA+ on the go.
The EliteBook proved to have an above average range, and excellent connection stability even in difficult reception conditions in our practical test (o, max. Transmission rates of up to 300 Mbps can be reached owing to dual-stream technology (2x2), providing an appropriate router is on the other side. Although this mid-range model does not feature the latest ac standard, it supports 802.11 a/b/g/n, and consequently also transmits in the less frequented 5 GHz band. The manufacturer installs different Wi-Fi modules depending on the configuration in our case, it is Intel's Dual-Band Wireless-N 7260. We did not discover any sharp edges or irregular material transitions the manufacturer should only rectify the slight play between the display bezel and screen. Like the bigger sister model, the 820 G1's meticulous build is impressive. Both massive metal hinges limit any wobbling of the lid to a minimum, and are yet so smooth running that only one hand is needed for opening. The screen, rimmed by a protective rubber lip, can also be warped by only a few millimeters using high force.
In any case, the chassis provides outstanding performance in terms of rigidity and stability, and even defies the strongest pressure completely unimpressed. Nevertheless, our review sample weighs over 1.5 kilograms (~3.3 pounds), which is also due to the lush configuration. The EliteBook is almost completely made of magnesium, which is supposed to make an approximately 30 percent lower weight possible compared with the precursor. HP even promises that the laptop has successfully been tested according to the MIL-STD-810 US military standard. The matte surfaces also prove to be resistant and insensitive to smudging. This dress looks just as good on the 820 G1 as on the recently tested 850 G1. It relies on curved shapes and restrained colors, primarily black and silver. HP introduced a new design line with the EliteBook 800 range. The price of all three is very close, which will likely make it an exciting battle for the crown of this category.

At least all models include a 3-year warranty, a matte screen with 1366x768 pixels and the free choice between Windows 7 or 8 (both Professional).Īs so often, HP faces strong contenders from Dell and Lenovo in the form of the Latitude E7240 and the ThinkPad X240. A steep 1700 Euros (~$2370) are demanded for our review sample that sports a Core i7-4600U, 8 GB of RAM, a 180 GB SSD storage, and a mobile wireless module - a lot of money for such a small laptop. Configurations of considerably higher performance are also available. The entry-level model features a Core i5 processor alongside 4 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB HDD for approximately 1000 Euros (~$1394). The EliteBook 820 G1 plays this role at HP. However, special focus is also placed on weight and battery runtime - particularly when the laptop is taken along on extended business trips.Ĭompact, 12-inch laptops are made just for this purpose as they try to master the balancing act between maximum portability and high (remaining) user value. On the go business people usually have very clear requirements on their wish-laptop: It must be reliable and secure, and sufficiently fast for the used applications.
