HP EliteBook 840 G5 Durability, Security, and Display
Durability
The EliteBook 840 can handle humid weather, hot or cold temperatures, shaking, and high altitudes.
Security
When we move on to the security, EliteBook 840 as well as any other Windows computer comes with
Windows Hello
The Intel Core i7-8650U configuration includes Intel vPro for remote management and an IR camera for accessing Windows Hello.
Windows Hello Fingerprint
It also comes with a subtle fingerprint reader underneath the rightmost arrow key. This fingerprint reader is used to unlock your laptop ( Optional).
Other security services include Windows Hello PIN, Passwords, security key, and Picture Password.
HP also included an Endpoint Security Controller, which is a physical chip that runs the company’s Sure Start software. This software helps to repair the BIOS, which is the first software that runs when you turn on your computer.
Display
Moving on to the display, the screen on the basic model of the EliteBook 840, which is 14 inches and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, was disappointing because it was not very bright and didn’t provide an enjoyable viewing experience. Those interested in low-light display screens will feel much more comfortable when using the G5.
HP EliteBook 840 G5 keyboard, Audio, and Battery Life
Keyboard
The EliteBook 840’s keyboard has backlighting with only two settings. The keys feel solid and make a satisfying click when typing.
Audio
The bass and treble balance is just right, allowing each instrument to stand out and creating a really powerful experience. Bang & Olufsen has an app for adjusting the sound to your liking. You can choose from preset options for voice, movies, or music, or you can do a full manual setup if you prefer.
Battery Life
The EliteBook 840 can last for a regular workday. It stayed on for 8 hours and 31 minutes while browsing the web over Wi-Fi. This is slightly better than the average of 8 hours and 20 minutes but not as good as MateBook X (9 hours and 55 minutes). It’s worth mentioning that the EliteBook 840 only lasted for 6 hours and 17 minutes when the Sure View feature was turned on.
