#Hp elitebook 820 g3 notebook pc review upgrade
We decided to upgrade to 20GB by adding a 16GB stick. The memory configuration in our model was only 4GB of DDR4 2133MHz in a single SODIMM. The CPU, as mentioned, is a Core i5 6300U at 2.40GHz which is a low-voltage Core i5 (expect performance to be lower than an i5 without the lower voltage, such as an i5 6400). The model that we purchased at Jambour Digital was an L4Q17AV - this means it features the Core i5 vPro and 4G LTE. The bezel around the display is pretty large Specifications The touch pointer supports double-taps and the two buttons can be customised. For instance, when you are standing and discussing something with a client you may hold the system with one hand and use the other on the touch pointer. As previously mentioned, there is a touch pointer or TouchStyk which is great on a business machine, particularly when you are on the move. The touchpad supports multi-touch gestures as well as features an on/off zone where a single double tap will switch of the touchpad. It's reasonably sized too, but it does sacrifice a bit of space for the two touch pointer buttons above. It's not a MacBook touchpad but it does the job. The touchpad on the laptop is made with glass and coated and feels really nice. The keyboard is reasonably comfortable to type on, but I did find that after typing on it for about an hour, my hands became quite still - not like the wide keyboard of my MacBook Pro. There is an option for backlighting on the keyboard as well, giving you the ability to work in darker situations. The keyboard featured on it is an island keyboard with what Synaptics called a TouchStyk embedded in between the G, H and B keys. The laptop is also very slim and looks sleek when closed. On the subject of weight, the system comes in at just 1.3KG which makes it great for taking around the place. The silvery-look keeps the system easy to keep clean and it's made of lightweight aluminium and magnesium as opposed to plastics which gives it a bit of durability whilst also making it very light.

Although it is an attractive machine and does have some style, at the end of the day this machine doesn't aim to compete with your MacBook Pro for style. The design of the EliteBook G3 is quite simply put 'business-like'. EliteBooks also often go through military tests to ensure its durability. The ProBook is the entry-level business-oriented laptop whereas the EliteBook has more features and is designed for the higher end market. HP develops two ranges of notebook computer for the business user - the ProBook and the EliteBook. I have owned several business computers from HP and to be honest, this side of HP is incredible. HP has always been dedicated to the business and enterprise user, so much so that it even had its own consultancy division called HP Enterprise (HPE), they developed an enterprise server processor in conjunction with Intel (Itanium) and they have always focused on developing brilliant business quality computers. I am going to talk about the positives and the negatives with regards to the HP EliteBook 820 G3.ĮliteBooks are HP's top of the line business-oriented notebooks The laptop I am reviewing is one I obtained for Jambour Digital and is now the company's main work laptop. I've always really admired their ProBook and EliteBook ranges and this week I finally got one. All of my business HP machines have lasted a very long time and most of them are still going (including my 2001 HP Compaq Evo N1020v). But their business line, on the other hand, is a different story. The truth behind this is however, all of these machines that have broken down are aimed at general consumers - not business users and I think it would be a fair evaluation to state that their home user products have been poor in the past.
