Title: HP EliteBook 840 G4 (7200U, Full-HD) Laptop Review
Post by: Redaktion on March 23, 2017, 18:31:10
Hardly any changes. HP now ships its business notebooks with Kaby-Lake processors as well, but the rest is pretty much unchanged. This is also the case for the display, which is quite bright, but disappoints in all other areas.

Do you plan to test Core i7 / 2560x1440 model?

Worst laptop i have ever used. Display is poor, you need to fix screen at certain angle to see screen properly....it strains eye...though hp call it HD, i dont feel it....color  changes with angle..

One word of caution: the laptop has (just) two USB ports which is very poor for a business laptop. Even worse, when you connect the docking station (with 4 USB ports) one of these two ports gets obstructed (???), so the maximum number you can use is 5 (five). Not enough for an average business user I suppose (external keyboard, mouse, headphones, scanner, printer, external disk). 
Using external keyboard and monitor is a nightmare, I was told this is due to "old BIOS"(?)
I would suggest you count your USB devices before buying!

I have been using this machine quite a while and are having som ehuge issues which I am curious if anyone else have discovered.
Mong the programs I am using is Autocad working on DWG files.
On the internal screen it works pretty ok but when I try to use it on a high resolution screen connected with HDMI it lags so much it is impossible to use it.

Anyone else having this problem or is it something wrong with my machine?
