HP EliteBook 845 G9 laptop review: Also convincing with Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U

Successful in almost every regard.

With the EliteBook 845 G9, HP proves that currently AMD need not hide behind Intel anymore at all, but on the contrary: Despite using an efficient Ryzen U or HS CPU, the 14-inch laptop delivers a high performance.
AMD Laptop Radeon Ryzen (Zen)

After we already took a look at the more expensive 6F6H6EA version with a Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS (iGPU: AMD Radeon 680M), 32 GB of RAM, and 1-TB SSD, it is now the turn of the 6F6H9EA model, which is significantly more affordable even if it still isn't really cheap. For around 1400 Euros (~$1456), buyers will get a Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U (iGPU: AMD Radeon 660M), 16 GB of RAM, and a 512-GB SSD. The display is a matte 16:10 panel with a 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution that is supposed to reach 400 cd/m² and 100% sRGB color space coverage, according to HP.

The competitors of the EliteBook 845 G9 include similarly fast 14-inch laptops such as the LG Gram 14Z90Q (Intel Core i5-1240P) or the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 2022 (Intel Core i7-1260P). The 13-inch Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 is also included in the comparison charts because it uses the identical CPU/GPU configuration.

Display

The configuration of our test unit uses a different panel than its more expensive sibling (AUO instead of InfoVision). While the response time turns out significantly worse at 27 to 59 ms compared to 21 to 31 ms, the color space is even slightly larger. 75% coverage of the P3 and 77% of the AdobeRGB color space are impressive, even though the LG Gram 14 and Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 come close to the 100% mark here.

We also see some differences to the more expensive model in the brightness. Instead of 745 cd/m² on average, our test unit "only" reaches 402 cd/m², but this is still impressive and puts the rest of the competitors to shame (305 to 379 cd/m²).

The high color accuracy and rich contrast also deserve some praise. Thanks to its low black value of 0.24 cd/m², the EliteBook 845 G9 6F6H9EA reaches an excellent contrast of 1700:1. However, OLED panels such as that in the Yoga 9i still play in a different league.

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
26.7 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 10.9 ms rise
↘ 15.8 ms fall
The screen shows relatively slow response rates in our tests and may be too slow for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 64 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.8 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
58.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 26.8 ms rise
↘ 32 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.165 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 95 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (32.6 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8564 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured.

Performance

HP created a well-rounded overall package with our test configuration. 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage are currently the standard for top tier business and office laptops. Other positives are the comfortable and extensive maintenance options that allow you to replace the working memory and SSD without any problems.

Test Conditions

Unfortunately, the preinstalled HP software doesn't include any varying performance modes, so we performed all our measurements with the default settings in the state of delivery.

Processor

Those who are not dependent on extremely high CPU performance should already be able to enjoy the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U. Compared to the Ryzen 9 PRO 6950HS of the more expensive model, which is specified at 35 instead of 28 watts, the 6650U "only" offers 6 instead of 8 cores (12 vs 16 threads) and an L2 cache of 3 instead of 4 MB, with the size of the L3 cache being identical. It is also not surprising that the clock speeds are lower with 2.9 to 4.5 vs 3.3 to 4.9 GHz. The performance in our CPU benchmarks follows the average of all the 6650U devices we tested so far, falling between that of the Core i5-1240P (12C/16T) and the Core i7-1260P (also 12C/16T). In contrast to the ThinkPad Z13, the speed can also be maintained constantly (see Cinebench loop).

Graphics Card

Besides a weaker CPU, the more affordable EliteBook model also includes a weaker iGPU. The Radeon 660M used here offers 384 shaders and a maximum clock speed of 1.9 GHz, whereas the Radeon 680M offers 768 shaders and up to 2.4 GHz. Usually, the performance of the Radeon 660M is approximately at the level of the Iris Xe Graphics G7 with 96 EUs. However, since in the case of the EliteBook 845 G9 its speed falls almost 20% below the average of the 660M that we determined so far, the performance follows more that of the 80EU version of the Iris Xe Graphics G7.  The Radeon 680M of the more expensive sibling also remained below its potential in our earlier test.

Gaming Performance

The 14-inch laptop is not designed for modern games. Demanding games such as Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Uncharted Legacy of Thieves, and A Plague Tale Requiem stutter in the native resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels already at minimum settings, making the games unplayable. Older and/or less demanding games such as Dota 2 run smoothly at times even at high detail settings.

Emissions

Noise Level

While the fan control is better than in many other devices, it still isn't quite perfect here either. During idle operation or simple tasks such as Office and web browsing, the EliteBook 845 G9 remains completely silent for long periods of time, but under medium load such as during Windows updates, the fans will often and quickly rev up, reaching a noise level that is clearly noticeable. Under higher load, the 14-inch laptop is quieter than its sibling, and instead of 38 to 44 dB(A), our measurements show only 34 to 38 dB(A).

Temperature

There is nothing that stands out about the temperature development. An average of 26 °C (79 °F) during idle operation and 38 °C (top, 100 °F) or 39 °C (bottom, 102 °F) under full load is typical and gives no reason for complaint.

Stress Test

While the components don't need any throttling during regular 3D operation, the processor throttles to around 2.2 GHz in our stress test with the Furmark and Prime95 tools. However, the CPU temperature remains fairly moderate, and almost 70 °C (158 °F) is completely okay.

Power Management

Power Consumption

The EliteBook 845 G9 runs fairly efficiently. A consumption of 3 to 9 watts during idle and 33 to 50 watts under load points to a good battery life and efficient components.

Battery Life

Even though the battery is not the most powerful with 51 Wh (some of the competitors offer more than 70 Wh), the 14-inch laptop lasts for a long time without a charger. In our test field, only the Lenovo ThinkPad Z13 is able to surpass more than 12 hours of Internet surfing via WLAN at medium brightness. The more expensive EliteBook sibling has to be content with around 9 hours.

Verdict

HP EliteBook 845 G9 6F6H9EA
HP EliteBook 845 G9 6F6H9EA

The EliteBook 845 G9 6F6H9EA is a high-class office or business laptop that doesn't show any significant weaknesses.

The highlights of the 14-inch laptop include the elegant, light, and comfortably compact case that attracts buyers with good maintenance and upgrade options as well as successful input devices.

Aside from its below-average iGPU performance, the Ryzen 5 PRO 6650U used here also impresses us during the test. The processor runs efficiently and delivers a more than decent speed for most application scenarios. The whole package is rounded by a long battery life, solid sound quality, and bright and color-accurate display.

We can clearly recommend the EliteBook 845 G9 6F6H9EA, as long as you are okay with the investment of around 1400 Euros (~$1456).

Those who are looking for a mobile, high-quality system that also offers a long battery life are well-served by the EliteBook 845 G9 6F6H9EA.

Price and Availability
