HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 Laptop Review: HP Convertible impresses in almost every way

Elite convertible with a matte SureView screen. Convertibles offer more flexibility than regular clamshell notebooks. Business convertibles like the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 offer even more flexibility than consumer devices. With plenty of features & high-quality components, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is a successful convertible, as there are barely any weak points to this HP laptop.

HP sorts its Intel EliteBooks in two different series: The EliteBooks of the 1000 series cover the premium segment, while the EliteBook 800 are meant for the mainstream business market. This tiering in classes exists for regular EliteBooks as well as the x360 convertibles. For example, we reviewed the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 with a SureView display a short while ago. Now, the review of the more affordable HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 follows.

In the business segment, the fiercest competitors of the HP EliteBooks are the Lenovo ThinkPads and Dell Latitudes. Therefore, we compare the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 with convertible laptops of these brands: The Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga and Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1.

Our review sample is a special model, as it is equipped with a "SureView" LCD. Together with the other specifications (i7, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD), it is obvious that this is a high-end configuration. It costs around €2,500 (~$2745) in Germany.

HP PC with an aluminum design

HP EliteBook x360 830 G6
HP EliteBook x360 830 G6

From a design standpoint, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 fits in with the other recent EliteBook generations. The chassis is almost completely adorned in a silver color, only the LCD bezel and keyboard provide a little bit of optical contrast. Compared with the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3, the design is not quite as sophisticated looking, as the corners are more rounded and the integration of the WWAN antenna into the lid is more crude – the EliteBook x360 1030 G3 has just a tiny piece of plastic in its lid, but on the EliteBook x360 830 G6, the entire front side of the lid is made out of plastic.

Apart from this part, the chassis is nearly completely made out of metal (with a glass screen-bezel). HP combines aluminum (lid & palmrest) with Magnesium (bottom cover). The workmanship of the laptop is perfect and the stability is on a very high level. Neither the base nor the LCD cover are susceptible to twisting and the palmrest can not be flexed down anywhere. On the other hand, even moderate pressure on the back of the LCD cover can affect the LCD panel. Still: This is the only small weakness in an overall high-quality construction.

The hinges allow opening the screen by 360 degrees. They hold the LCD cover pretty firmly, even though a slight wobble is still present. It is possible to open the screen with one hand.

The EliteBook x360 1030 G3 has the edge over the EliteBook x360 830 G6 in terms of weight and size: Today's review unit is 1 mm thicker and 200 g (~0.5 pounds) heavier as well as slightly bigger. Compared with Lenovo's offering, the ThinkPad X390 Yoga has the advantage in thickness and weight, though it is not more compact than the EliteBook 830. The chassis of the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 is shorter, despite the bigger 14-inch screen, though it is wider and as heavy as the EliteBook x360 830 G6.

Connectivity: HP laptop offers many options

In contrast to many offerings in the consumer market, nearly all business laptop still retain an array of certain legacy ports. This means that modern USB C ports (with Thunderbolt 3) are combined with USB A ports and HDMI. In the convertible class, the EliteBook x360 830 G6 can easily compete with this port selection. The one thing we have to criticize is that there is no (micro)SD card reader.

It is also strange, that HP still puts in a proprietary charging port, as our review sample comes bundled with a USB C charger. That is annoying, because the USB C ports are positioned at the middle of the device. With the digitizer pen attached to the device, both USB C ports are blocked.

Communication

The HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 does not have Ethernet. Otherwise, it nearly has every communication-feature possible: Our sample has the newest Wi-Fi standard 6 (Intel Wireless AX200) as well as WWAN / LTE (Intel XMM 7360). The WLAN card can not fully deliver on its transfer rate potential in our benchmarks, as we still lack the necessary Wi-Fi 6 router. All in all, the AX200 performed well, though its performance did vary between 450 and 750 MBit/s.

The HD webcam takes very grainy, low quality pictures. Together with the microphones (which at least manage to record voices clearly), it is only fit for simple video telephony.

Security

Employees of companies often come in contact with sensitive data, which gives security a much more important role for business laptops. That is why the HP laptop EliteBook x360 830 G6 has features like the Smartcard reader and the Kensington lock slot. Apart from that, there is a Fingerprint sensor as well as an IR camera for Windows Hello. Additionally, the webcam has a mechanical privacy shutter.

Accessories

Aside the 65 W USB C charger, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 also comes with a digitizer pen (which we describe further in the "input-devices" section) and a USB C/USB A adapter.

Maintenance

Opening the HP EliteBook x360 is comparably easy. Five TX5 screws have to be loosened (which stay stuck in the bottom cover) and afterwards, a few clips have to be opened. Once the bottom cover is removed, parts like the two RAM slots, the M.2 2280 slot or the WWAN card are accessible. It is possible to change the battery and clean the fan, too.

Warranty

As usual in the premium business segment, the EliteBook has a three-year warranty. This is an on-site warranty, which means that the technician repairs the device at the home of the owner.

Keyboard

HP lays out the flat, square Chiclet keys in a six row arrangement. The backlight keyboard has been optimized by HP for telephony, which is why it has dedicated telephony keys. We would have preferred dedicated Home/End keys at this position. Another special thing about this layout are the extremely small vertical arrow keys.

This keyboard is definitely one of the better laptop keyboards in terms of its typing feel. The keys have a comparably long travel distance and crisp pressure point. Also, it is helpful that the chassis is absolutely stable, which prevents annoying keyboard flex. The Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga is not much better, though we still think the ThinkPad has the edge when it comes to the keyboard.

Touchpad

The 11 x 6.5 cm (~4.3 x 2.6 in) touchpad has a matte glass surface, which offers the perfect smoothness and high quality feeling. It is a clickpad, which allows HP to do without dedicated mouse buttons. The integrated mechanism has a short amount of travel and a precise pressure point. It can only be pressed down in the lower two thirds. Overall, the touchpad is fantastic, HP beats the Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga in this category – though this convertible features a TrackPoint, which the EliteBook x360 830 G6 lacks.

Touchscreen & pen

The matte touchscreen recognizes ten fingers at the same time and can be used without any problems.

Aside from the touchscreen and touchpad, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 can also be used with the bundled digitizer pen. The pen can not be stored in the chassis. Instead, it can be attached to the right side of the EliteBook with a magnet. Inside the pen, a battery is stored, which can be charged via USB C. A separate charger for the pen is not included, so the laptop charger or another USB C charger has to be used. 

The Wacom AES pen is more comfortable to use than the smaller pen of the Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga, because has a bigger diameter. The pen has three buttons, whose function can be customized. The pen works precisely at the edges of the screen and the pressure sensitivity worked flawlessly.

As is typical for business laptops, HP gives its customers multiple different 13.3 inch screen options. All touch displays have a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 (FHD): 

  • FHD IPS LCD (250 cd/m²), 45% NTSC, glossy
  • FHD IPS LCD (400 cd/m²), 72% NTSC, glossy or matte
  • FHD IPS LCD with SureView (1000 cd/m²), 72% NTSC, glossy or matte

The review unit contains a matte SureView LCD. The screen does not even come close to the brightness value promised by HP. Instead of 1000 cd/m², we measure 692 cd/m² on average. This means the screen is still extremely bright, but far away from HP's marketing claim. The competition in the form of Lenovo and Dell can not nearly match HP in this area. Only the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3, which also contained a SureView screen, reached a similar brightness value.

There is barely any backlight bleeding and the brightness distribution of 69% is just barely OK – thankfully, no dark spots are visible to the naked eye. The screen does have PWM on all brightness settings. With a frequency of 952.4 Hz, most users should have no problems.

Ex-factory, there was a slight reddish-tint, which was more pronounced in the SureView mode. We were able to remove it with a calibration. The picture quality is good, thanks to the high contrast value of 2319:1 – the matte surface does have negative consequences on the clarity of the picture. For the best quality, the glossy model might be the better choice. The color space coverage of 93.6% of the sRGB color space is not bad, but also not perfect. Photo editing is possible, but not all colors may be displayed correctly.

The high LCD brightness and the matte screen surface enable outdoor usage. In the sun, it is still difficult to make out the screen content, also because the screen varies in brightness depending on the viewing angle.

Display Response Times

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
30 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 14 ms rise

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 77 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey

In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 69 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 detected 952 Hz ≤ 100 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 952 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 100 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 952 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

SureView Gen 3 allows users to restrict the viewing angles by pressing a button. Different from older SureView variations, this happens by making the screen darker – a better solution compared with older SureView screens. If SureView is not active, the viewing angles are generally good, as the colors do not change. Regrettably, this LCD panel suffers from a rather pronounced brightness-loss when it is not viewed directly from the front. This is especially apparent on white display content. There are much better IPS LCDs when it comes to viewing angles.

CPU performance of the HP EliteBook x360 is disappointing

The HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is powered by Intel processors of the Whiskey Lake generation. The Core i5-8265U is the entry level model, the Core i5-8365U offers vPro and the Core i7-8565U has the highest clock rates. Since the memory of the EliteBook 830 G6 x360 is not soldered, it is possible to stuff up to 64 GB DDR4-2400 memory into the two RAM slots of the EliteBook – though HP sells it with 32 GB ex-factory as the maximum. As for the mass storage, there is a single M.2 2280 SSD with up to 1 TB.

Processor

The Intel Core i7-8565U is a Whiskey Lake processor with four cores, which has a typical power consumption of 15 W. To reach the highest level of performance of 4.8 GHz on all cores, the CPU would have to consume a lot more energy. The base clock  rate sits at 1.8 GHz. Comparisons with other CPUs are possible with our Notebookcheck CPU comparison table.

In the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 x360, the CPU can consume 45 W for a few seconds, reaching 4.5 GHz. After the CPU temperatures reach 98 °C, the power consumption is limited to 15 W and the clock rates fall to 2.3 GHz. Temporarily, the clock rates drop to 2.1 GHz, with a power consumption of 13 W.

Compared with the other convertibles, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is a poor performer. Only the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3 is worse. The competitors from the other manufacturers reach a higher CPU performance. The Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga as the closest competitor is about 12% faster in terms of the multicore performance.

The CPU performance is a little bit limited in the DC mode. The turbo boost to 45 W is not available without a charger, which is the only difference. Instead of 516 points, the HP notebook reaches 482 points in the Cinebench R15 multicore test.

Mass storage

The 1 TB M.2 2280 SSD was supplied by Western Digital. It is a PCIe NVMe SSD, which translates into very fast transfer rates. In the relative comparison with other SSDs, it is not the fastest, though users will probably never notice the difference in everyday use.

GPU

Since the Intel UHD Graphics 620 is an iGPU without dedicated memory, it depends on the main system memory. As the RAM of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 runs in dual-channel mode, the full GPU performance potential can be realized. Of course, the integrated GPU is still very limited, even with dual-channel memory. The Intel UHD Graphics 620 is mostly just good for everyday multimedia tasks.

There is no GPU-throttling when the device runs on battery power.

HP PC emissions: Low temperatures & coil whine

Noise

The fan of the EliteBook laptop is mostly disabled while it is idling – though sadly not always. Sometimes, the fan does come on with 32.3 dB(A), an audible level of noise. Still, the device will not get much louder under load, as 34.4 dB(A) is the maximum noise emission.

It is too bad that we measured audible coil-whine at 29.8 dB(A). Coil whine results in a lower noise-emission score.

Temperatures

stress test (Prime95 + FurMark)
stress test (Prime95 + FurMark)

In terms of the outer temperatures, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is exemplary. The highest temperature we measured was 43.3 degrees Celsius (~110 degrees Fahrenheit), which is warm but in no way problematic. The behavior in stress tests with Prime95 and FurMark is pretty tame as well: The CPU can consume 50 W for 30 seconds, reaching clock rates of 4.1 GHz and CPU temperatures of 97 degrees Celsius (~207 degrees Fahrenheit). Soon, the power consumption is limited to 15 W and then 13 W. At the end of the stress test, the CPU clock rates sit at 800 MHz. In everyday use, this TPD throttling should be no problem.

Speakers

As with all recent EliteBooks, HP places the speakers above the keyboard. The stereo speakers are rather good for a laptop, as they provide an adequate level of loudness and their quality is above average. Bass is missing, as usual, but the EliteBook speakers are, with no doubt, better than the speakers of the Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga. Alternatively, it is possible to use the combo audio port.

Power consumption

The power consumption of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 could be better. Both the Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga and the Dell Latitude 7400 2-in-1 run more efficiently while they are idling.

Under load, the highest power consumption peak is 68.2 W, which goes beyond what the 65 W charger can supply. Since this is only peak load though, it is not a problem.

Verdict

in review: HP EliteBook x360 830 G6, review unit supplied by HP.

With the EliteBook x360 830 G6, HP has created a terrific convertible laptop for business users. The central feature of this model surely is the extremely bright, matte touch SureView display, which sadly does not reach the promised 1000 cd/m² – but is still extremely bright with 700 cd/m². Apart from the screen, HP barely makes any mistakes: The aluminum chassis is very robust & well made, the input devices are comfortable, the EliteBook 830 has a plethora of ports and security features and with the two RAM slots, the compact HP laptop is even fairly upgradeable. The speakers are comparably good, the HP notebook does not get hot and the battery life is great. Notable is also the long warranty.

The HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is not problem free though. For example, the CPU performance is worse compared with the competitors. Apart from that, we have to complain about the coil whine. The HP EliteBook is missing a (micro)SD card reader as well as a TrackPoint, too. Strangely, the pen blocks the USB C ports when it is mounted to the chassis. Lastly, we think that the viewing angle stability of the screen should be better when SureView is disabled. The brightness loss is very apparent. 

Feature rich combined with premium quality: That is what the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 delivers.

All things considered, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is an excellent choice, not only for business users, but also for consumers who want a reliable workhorse. It is very well equipped to compete with the Lenovo ThinkPad X390 Yoga.
