MagyarHP EliteBook x360 830 G10 Laptop Review: Metal convertible with non-reflective touchscreen
HP Inc., the second biggest PC manufacturer of the world, has many different laptop lines. The HP Elite brand is the premier enterprise series of the American company, standing in a long tradition - launched in 2008 as the successor of the HP Compaq P series, it has served business customers and their users around the globe since then.
Today's review device, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10, is the newest version of the compact convertible line, aimed at travelers who need the added flexibility of the touchscreen and pen. The EliteBook 800 series is HP's mainstream business series, comparable with the Dell Latitude 7000 and the Lenovo ThinkPad T / X series.

Case: All business goes all aluminum
Aluminum has been the material of choice for EliteBooks for many years. No wonder: Its a material that is not extremely expensive, like titanium would be, a lightweight metal that is not too heavy and it gives product a metallic feel. Like the material choice, HP EliteBooks also have maintained a look for several generations: The whole frame of the device is silver, with only the keyboard keys and screen bezel in black. There are no hints of color, with the only visual contrast provided by the glossy-silver HP logos on the lid and screen bezel, as well as the silver trim around the touchpad. Not quite modern looking are the rather big bezels around the screen.
All the chassis parts of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 are extremely stiff, another advantage of the aluminum. The screen is also protected by a glass panel, which further increases stability. The chassis can not easily be indented anywhere, although strong pressure on the back of the screen does translate onto the panel.
As this is an convertible, the screen can be rotated all the way around. There is only minimal screen wobble, and the screen can be opened with one hand - though the screen clamps shut very securely, so getting a grip on it can be difficult sometimes.
The Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4, the closest competitor, is really similar to the EliteBook in terms of weight and size, with the ThinkPad being thinner as a defining difference.
Connectivity: Legacy ports and WWAN upgradeability
Different from many consumer class laptops, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 has many ports qualified as legacy today - like HDMI and USB A. Of course, as this is a modern Intel platform, Thunderbolt 4 is also present with two ports, both of which are also used for charging. That is also the reason why its not quite ideal that the HDMI and USB A port on the left side are placed behind the Thunderbolt port. In general, you want the ports in the back to be the charging port.
Communication
The HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 uses the Intel AX211 WiFi card, a fast 2x2-solution that supports the modern WiFi 6E standard. In our test, it scores consistently high transfer rates with very low variance. This WiFi module supports Bluetooth 5.2 as well.
A version of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 with WWAN in form of 4G/LTE exists. The version that we test does not have this feature however, though it has the antennas - but no SIM slot, so it is probably only usable via eSIM.
Webcam
With a 5 MPix camera, the HP EliteBook 830 x360 G10 seems well equipped for the modern world of home office and internet meetings. However, resolution is not everything - while the camera can produce a pretty sharp image, it only does so with perfect lighting conditions. Smartphones still have the edge over PCs in this department.
Security
Business systems tend to have a number of specialized security features and HP's EliteBook laptop is no exception. On the hardware level, this system has TPM 2.0. For theft protection, there is a Kensington lock slot. Also, enterprise users get three options for secure and fast log-in: Either the Smartcard reader, the Fingerprint reader or the 3D IR camera can be used.
Accessories
Apart from the 65 W USB C charger, there also is an active pen within the box.
Maintenance
It is easy to get to the internals of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10, as there are only five Philips head screws and a few clips holding the bottom cover in place.
Once inside, there is a free M.2 2242 bay for the WWAN card - the necessary antennas are present. Also present is a M.2 2280 SSD, which is user replaceable. Sadly, RAM is soldered, but as a pleasant surprise, the WiFi module is not soldered, but upgradeable; kudos to HP for that. Of course, the fan can be cleaned and the battery replaced, should that be necessary.
Warranty
HP shows itself generous when it comes to the warranty. Three years are included, and part of the package deal is on site service as well as a three year battery warranty. As this is a German unit, on site service is limited to Germany. Internationally, a three year bring in service is provided.
Input Devices: Great HP EliteBook keyboard
Keyboard
HP puts in a similar keyboard as in the bigger EliteBook models, although this is a smaller version. The key travel of the square Chiclet-style keys is the same as bigger models, 1.5 mm. The typing feel that the smooth backlit keys (two levels) provide is excellent, as the switches beneath provide a precise, firm and smooth typing feel. There is zero keyboard flex, which also helps. This is a great keyboard.
Touchpad
The touchpad is slightly small compared to some other modern designs, but we the find the size adequate. It is a classic mechanical clickpad that uses a high quality matte glass surface, providing a very good user experience. The click is slightly loud though, but the surface does not wobble and the click is firm.
Display: Completely matte touchscreen slightly dull
HP offers four different screen options on the EliteBook 830 x360 G10, all of them 13.3 inch IPS screens in the 16:10 aspect ratio:
- 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 250 cd/m², 45 % NTSC, glossy
- 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte, Low Power
- 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 400 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, glossy, Low Power
- 1,920 x 1,200 (WUXGA), 1,000 cd/m², 100 % sRGB, matte, Privacy Screen
Our screen is completely anti-glare, unusual for a touchscreen. Unfortunately, the display quality is negatively affected by the matte surface, as it somewhat mutes the colors and makes the whole image rather grainy and blurry - as evident with the blurred sub-pixel picture.
HP is advertising a screen brightness of 400 cd/m². This is in line with the peak brightness of 401 cd/m². On average, the screen tops out at slightly less, 371 cd/m². Compared with the competition, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 beat the HP laptop when it comes to the screen brightness of 431 cd/m² - despite Lenovo also advertising that device with 400 cd/m² brightness.
Touchscreen and Digitizer
As usual for a business convertible, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 has both a touchscreen and an active digitizer pen with pressure sensitivity. The capacitive touchscreen recognizes ten fingers at the same time and works flawlessly. The pen is also a useful feature: While it can not be stored in the device, unlike with the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4, it attaches magnetically to the right side. In exchange, you get a bigger pen and a better user experience, as the small pencil of the ThinkPad is rather difficult to use. The pen has three buttons. It is charged up via a USB C port that is hidden beneath a rubber cover. Pressure sensitivity works very well in apps like Onenote. However, using the pen is not as smooth as it should be, there is a little too much friction, possible due to the matte screen surface.

Ex factory, the screen is not set up to be color accurate. The average Colorchecker deltaE of 4.3 indicated within Calman and measured with the X-Rite i1Pro 3 signals that colors are not accurate. There is a noticeable green tint visible in the greyscale measurements. After a calibration with the X-Rite i1Profiler, the deltaE is significantly lower, meaning the screen can be calibrated to be fairly accurate. The color profile we created can be downloaded for free in the grey box above.
Color gamut coverage is OK, but nothing more. The sRGB coverage falls short of the 100 percent advertised by HP with roughly 92 percent. The screen is passable for simple photo work, but not suited for professional photo editing.
Outside the office, the HP EliteBook x360 G10 830 can certainly hold its own. The matte surface shows no reflections at all and the screen brightness is high enough to make the screen readable, as long as direct sunlight is avoided.

Performance: Raptor Lake only average
Four Intel processors are at the heart of the HP EliteBook laptop: The Core i5-1335U or the Core i7-1355U as well as the vPro variants Core i5-1345U and Core i7-1365U. There is no dGPU option, the only available GPU models are made by Intel (Iris Xe 80 EUs or Iris Xe 96 EUs, depending on the CPU). RAM ranges from 8 to 32 GB. HP uses energy-efficienct LPDDR5-4800 memory - as usual with LP memory, it is soldered down. There is a single M.2 2280 SSD with a capacity of up to 2 TB.
Testing Conditions
There is only a single performance mode, which sets the power limits that regulate the CPU power consumption and thus directly influence the performance, heat and fan noise: For short term boost performance, the EliteBook can consume up to 51.5 W. Under sustained load, the processor gets limited to a power consumption of 25 W.
Processor
The Intel Core i5-1335U is a processor of Intel's Raptor Lake series with ten cores. There are two big P cores (1.3 to 4.6 GHz) and eight small E cores (0.9 to 3.4 GHz). The system has twelve threads in total, thanks to Hyperthreading. Our CPU benchmark list can be used to compare it with other compute units.
Performance is adequate though nothing special. Short term, the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 beats the EliteBook, but under sustained load, the HP laptop wins out. Both are slower than the Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga G4 AMD in terms of multicore performance, but the AMD model loses when it comes to single core tasks.
When not connected to a power supply, the performance is significantly reduced. The EliteBook x360 830 G10 just achieves 861 points in Cinebench R15, a reduction of 28 percent.

Storage Devices
The HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 contains a Samsung PM991 - this fast SSD is inexplicably slow in our review sample. This is not a slow SSD, so we suspect the M.2 2280 SSD in our sample has some sort of defect. The slow storage may also be the reason for the lacking system performance scores. There are many other SSDs available in the EliteBook, so we are not blaming HP for this issue.

GPU Performance
The Iris Xe (80 EUs) is the basic iGPU of the last few generations of Intel processors. Its performance for everyday use is adequate, gaming is certainly out of the question though unless its really old games. Not that this sort of application is particularly relevant for a compact business system.

Emissions: EliteBook neither very loud nor very hot
System Noise
When idling, the HP EliteBook stays completely quiet, unlike the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4. Under full load, the EliteBook does get louder than the ThinkPad, but under medium load, the Lenovo emits more noise. On the flip side, the fan of the HP laptop is higher pitched.
We did not detect any coil whine or other unwanted noise.

Temperature
The louder fan under max load pays off when it comes to the temperatures, as the HP stays much cooler on the outside than its ThinkPad competitor. Overall, the EliteBook laptop does not get very warm, with 42.4 degrees Celsius / 108 F being the maximum temperature.
During the stress test with combined CPU and GPU load, the maximum power consumption of the CPU drops to just 20 W. There is some slight throttling, because the GPU takes away some of the power that the CPU has in the processor-only benchmarks. In everyday use, this is no issue.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 40.2 °C / 104 F, compared to the average of 35.3 °C / 96 F, ranging from 19.6 to 55.7 °C for the class Convertible.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 42.4 °C / 108 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 28.1 °C / 83 F, compared to the device average of 30.2 °C / 86 F.
(±) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 32.4 °C / 90 F, compared to the device average of 30.2 °C / 86 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 30.6 °C / 87.1 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.1 °C / 82.6 F (-2.5 °C / -4.5 F).

Battery Life
Either 38 Wh or 51 Wh - customers get the choice when buying the HP EliteBook 830 G10. Our review sample has the bigger internal 51 Wh battery. The battery life HP extracts out of this device is average. Again: The closest competitor is the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga G4 and that convertible scores more than 11 hours in the WiFi test (150 cd/m²), whereas the EliteBook tops out at slightly more than nine hours.

Pros
Cons
Verdict: A worthy competitor in the enterprise convertible market
The HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 is a very competitive convertible laptop made for the business segment. This 2-in-1 has some clear stengths and only few real weaknesses.
Among the positives is the strong metal chassis. It does not just feel high quality, it also provides a great deal of stiffness, which is important for a laptop you would spin around into a convertible. This chassis contains a great selection of ports as well as connectivity and security features. The input devices HP offers are many - touchpad, keyboard, touchscreen, pen. All of them work great, the keyboard is especially commendable. The screen is matte and of good quality, albeit more average. Similarly average are aspects like speakers, CPU performance or battery life - in all of these areas, the HP EliteBook does not outright fail, but it doesn't excel either.
The list of real negatives is not very long: The SSD is very slow in this laptop, but we think this is due to a defect of the SSD in our model, not a general fault of this product line. The RAM is soldered down and the screen resolution is limited to WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200), not a lot in the face of many other modern laptops.
A device with only few real negatives, many positives and some averages: The HP EliteBook x360 830 G10.
Closest competitor to the HP EliteBook laptop is the Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Yoga Gen 4, as its a close match both in specs and target market. Either one can do a great job as a convertible laptop for the enterprise, with the ThinkPad offering a better battery life and the signature TrackPoint input device as advantages.
Price and Availability
Roughly $1,120 have to be paid for the entry level version of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G10 in the HP US store. Amazon has the device on offer as well.
