The EliteBook 850 G1 is a Windows 7 Pro notebook built for productivity and security. Complete with a fingerprint scanner, a durable design and a luminous 15.6-inch 1080p display, the laptop has everything a business user could want. But is HP’s Core i7-powered EliteBook the best notebook you can get for the price? Surely, Yes!
Design
The EliteBook 850 G1 looks and feels like it can take some abuse. The first thing we noticed about HP’s enterprise-oriented notebook was its durable black magnesium lid, which features the same matte soft-touch finish that’s used in the auto industry to keep cars scratch-resistant.
This laptop will likely emerge scrape-free after rattling around in your luggage during flights. The EliteBook 850 G1 is also MIL-STD 810G approved, meaning it can endure more stressful scenarios involving extreme temperatures, pressure, altitude, shock and humidity than your average notebook.
Inside, the EliteBook’s keyboard deck sports a shiny, premium-looking silver aluminum design. A speaker is situated just above this keyboard deck, with a fingerprint scanner placed just below it on the right. The Elitebook 850 G1’s roomy touchpad almost makes the keyboard look small, but we certainly appreciated the extra space while scrolling.
The laptop’s magnesium underside features a removable door for easy access to its internal components. This means you can easily switch out its hard drive for an upgrade without having to purchase a new unit.
Measuring 14.78 x 9.98 x 0.84 inches, the 4.4-pound HP EliteBook 850 G1 is fairly light and portable for a 15-inch laptop. In fact, HP says that this model is 40 percent thinner and 27 percent lighter than the previous model.
Security
HP touts the EliteBook 850 G1 as one of the most secure business notebooks on the market. The system comes preloaded with HP software.
Among HP’s included security features is its Just In Time Authentication policy, which lets you place certain time restraints on the device. This means if you walk away from the computer and it remains inactive for a certain period of time, an intruder won’t be able to plug in an external device with potentially malicious material without proper authentication (This feature is optional).
The HP EliteBook 850 also comes with a fingerprint scanner for logging onto your computer and select websites of your choosing. When prompted to enter your password for a website you can also use fingerprint software to login provided the website supports it. (This feature is optional)
Display
The HP EliteBook 850’s 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 resolution matte display offers great image quality for work and play. Text looked bold and clear on the screen as we read through news headlines, and a high-res image of a snow-covered cabin on Flickr looked sharp.
HP’s productivity-oriented notebook boasts not only beautiful visuals, but also a brighter screen than the competition. During our light meter reading the display averaged 300 lux, which is more luminous than the mainstream laptop category average (207 lux),
Audio
The HP EliteBook 850 is more for business than entertainment, but the notebook still pumps out crisp and clear sound.
The bundled DTS Audio software allows you to choose between certain presets depending on what you’re listening to. Music categories include Rock, Opera, Grunge, Techno, Rap and Country; each setting slightly tweaks elements such as bass, treble and focus.
Keyboard
The HP EliteBook 850’s backlit spill-resistant keyboard provided a smooth overall typing experience. The deck felt sturdy as we struck the keys, and we didn’t notice any flex while pushing down on the keyboard. The key travel was deep enough for comfortable typing and productivity, but the tactile feedback could have been crisper.
Touchpad and Pointing Stick
The roomy 4.1 x 2.5-inch touchpad was responsive and fluid in everyday use. There is no issue using pinch-to-zoom and two-finger scrolling gestures, and the dedicated clicking buttons are appreciable.
The Elitebook 850’s pointing stick sports a rubbery, comfortable grip that made it easy to scroll without reaching for the touchpad. The textured feel reminded us of Lenovo’s TrackPoint pointing stick, although HP’s nub features a concave shape made to fit the tip of your finger.
Heat
The HP EliteBook 850 manages to stay cool during work. The notebook’s underside reached 90 degrees Fahrenheit when streaming video, which is below the 95-degree threshold that is considered uncomfortable. The touchpad only hit 80 degrees, and the area between the G and H keys reached a mild 89 degrees.
