HP EliteBook 850 G1-H5G44ET
The HP EliteBook 850 G1-H5G44ET is the highest specification version of the HP EliteBook series. The laptop comes with an Intel Core i7-4600U, which is the one of the best processors in the market today. With 8 GB of RAM, performance on this machine is guaranteed to make your day. Even gamers will be satisfied with this machine with the secondary Radeon HD 8750M graphics card ensuring games can be played at ultra-high settings without any issue.
The 15 inch notebook has a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels, providing full HD for the users. Also, the HP EliteBook 850 G1-H5G44ET uses SSD instead of HDD which makes the machine run faster as well. Sadly, because it has such high hardware, the battery life for this machine isn't impressive. It can last 9 hours at most, without any load. It has 4 USB 3.0 ports, a VGA port and the basic audio connections. However, there is no Ethernet port. WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0 are support though.
All in all, the HP EliteBook 850 G1-H5G44ET is a great high-end machine for those who require the best of the best from their notebooks. However, the price of this model is steep.

Slowed down. Besides the Core i7 processor and the improved memory equipment, it is the dedicated Radeon HD 8750M in particular that is supposed to justify the considerable price of the top version from the EliteBook 850-series. But can the thin chassis actually handle the additional heat?

The HP EliteBook 850 G1 is an IT serviceable and user friendly business ultrabook. Easy access to the chassis for upgrades and servicing can make up for shortcomings, like the system's middling battery life, at least to the IT staff supporting your users. However, that's not nearly enough to trump our Editors' Choice for business ultrabooks, the Dell Latitude E7440 Touch, which is thinner and lighter, has a Windows 8-friendly touch screen, a higher-capacity SSD, an HDMI port, and delivers almost an hour more of battery life.

The HP EliteBook 850 sets the benchmark for business Ultrabooks; it manages to incorporate state-of-the-art technology in a well-designed chassis that has respectable battery life and performance. Continuing our long list of likes for this model are its good backlit keyboard, excellent touchpad and high-end business features such as a Smartcard reader, Intel vPro technology, dedicated docking station connector, built-in mobile broadband and exceptional access to internal components via its tool-less bottom panel. Our major gripe with the EliteBook 850 is its lackluster display; it needs a contrast and saturation boost.

Courage to change. The bulky EliteBooks from the past are gone – HP's business-series now primarily uses thin cases and efficient ULV hardware. We review the entry-level configuration of the new EliteBook 850 G1 for around 1,000 Euros (~$1387).

Quality has its price. HP demands almost 2,000 Euros (~$2289) for its top model of the EliteBook 850 series - in return the customer receives a brilliantly manufactured business laptop with an impressive configuration. Ultimately it is the minor weaknesses that prevent the laptop from ascending the top of its appliance class.

Unsatisfactory screen. HP again delivers a decent, upper-range business laptop with its new EliteBook 850 G3. Unfortunately, the company has made a big mistake with the choice of the installed screen, which ruins the otherwise good impression that the device makes.

A tradition of poor angles. HP sent out its updated EliteBooks to fight for the affection of business users and the hearts and minds of big business purchasing managers alike. Our extensive review is going to reveal whether they will be won over by the EliteBook 850 G4 or whether HP has once again cut corners and skimped on that one particular part the way they already did with its predecessor.

All in all, the EliteBook 850 G4 is a good notebook but a bit overpriced. You should really consider getting the base configuration with Intel HD Graphics 620 instead of the AMD Radeon R7 M465 as our stress tests show exceptionally high thermals and poor heat dispersion on the surface of the notebook during heavy workload and you will save a few bucks along the way. It seems that the current GPU isn’t the best choice given the current cooling design but it’s still able to run some of the latest titles at decent frame rates. Moreover, make sure the TN panel will suit your needs or you can go for Lenovo’s ThinkPad T570, which is in the same ballpark as the EliteBook 850 G4 price-wise but sports a decent IPS panel. Another great alternative to consider is the Dell Latitude E5570.

Finally, we have to say that this device is inappropriate for web designers as color accuracy is not decent plus there is the aforesaid poor color range.

Instead of a regular review that we do here, today the focus was more on finding the differences between this device and its predecessor – the EliteBook 850 G5. Soon it became clear that spotting Waldo in a Bayern Munich home game would be a far easier job than explaining what is the invisible update HP did to their EliteBook 800 line up.

HP: The Hewlett-Packard Company, founded 1935, commonly referred to as HP, is a technology corporation headquartered in California, United States. HP specializes in developing and manufacturing computing, storage, and networking hardware, software and services. Major product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise servers, related storage devices, as well as a diverse range of printers and other imaging products. Other product lines, including electronic test equipment and systems, medical electronic equipment, solid state components and instrumentation for chemical analysis. HP posted US $91.7 billion in annual revenue in 2006, making it the world's largest technology vendor in terms of sales. In 2007 the revenue was $104 billion, making HP the first IT company in history to report revenues exceeding $100 billion.
Up to 2015, the company was named Hewlett Packard Company. After a split, the computer range was renamed to HP Inc.
In the laptop segment, HP was the world's largest manufacturer from 2014 to 2016 with a market share of 20-21% from 2014 to 2016, but they only exceed Lenovo by a small margin as of recently. HP is not present in the smartphone sector (as of 2016).

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
