HP EliteBook 835 G9: Powerful and durable thanks to Ryzen

Hewlett Packard's EliteBook 835 G9 is a mobile office notebook from the business segment. The most striking feature of the compact computer is the matte, viewing-angle stable 13.3-inch screen (1920 x 1200) in the work-friendly format of 16:10. It offers high brightness, very good contrast and great color reproduction. A switchable privacy filter (HP Sure View) aims to prevent or make difficult looking at the display from the sides.

A Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U APU and 16 GB of RAM (DDR5-4800, dual-channel mode, onboard, not expandable) equip the computer for office and internet use. The hardware can also handle light games. The storage capacity (512 GB) of the PCIe-4-SSD should be sufficient in most cases. Otherwise, swapping the SSD is possible. However, there is no space for additional storage media.

The backlit keyboard impresses with crisp key resistance and a good typing feel. A 51 Wh battery ensures practical runtimes of between 9 to 13 hours. The notebook is powered by a USB-C power supply (65 watts) that can be plugged into both USB-4 ports.

Wireless network connections are not only established via WiFi, but also via the LTE network. HP offers a 5G modem only for the Intel-based EliteBook 830 G5 sister model. This variant of the EliteBook is priced around US$1,600 and is currently the most expensive representative of the series.
