Make sure that you're not logged in to HP using any HP EPP or student type account. I just checked and it worked. If your HP credential is an HP EPP or student or Corporate type Account, you will get some discount automatically but this coupon will not work.

Decent deal for those who need the 64gb of ram and 1TB HD. Interestingly, HP has moved to the newer 8xxx AMD CPU's on many laptops, I'm guessing they are clearing out final inventory here.

8x4x series is just a rebranding of 7x4x series with same number of Zen 4 cores, same RDNA 3 graphics and literally same clock speed for CPU and integrated graphics.

Great single-thread and multi-core benchmarks (3795 and 29002), though may as well consider bump to Ryzen 9 config for + $85 ($1,180.65).

Otherwise, a multi-OSer's dream. In principle, this lappy should support peppy host and three (3) vms with their respective guestOSes.

Minor config disappointments:
(1) USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports -- not Gen 2!
(2) Gen 4 NVMe -- not G5 with backward compatibility.
(I'm tempted to include 1TB storage as #3, ... IF I'm running host and 3 guestOS vms. I pass, though, because that likely applies to 0.001% of users, maybe fewer. For gamers willing to spend $1.1K + tax, you should be shopping true gamer rigs anyway.)

Finally, Given the minor disappointments, plus the observation that the CPU is a bit past its peak as a performance juggernaut among CPUs, this deal is not HOT.
Imo, HOT requires a sub-$1K price. At say $949, it would be a major temptation; at $899, I couldn't confirm my order fast enough, lol. But these are just pipe-dreams.

Anyway, hope this helps.

It is still top of the line performer for these kind of Thin & Light 14" laptops and even the latest Core Ultra 7-155H has hard time beating it.

Minor things to be happy about this config:
(1) 1440p camera
(2) 65W charging adapter means I can pack a tiny GaN charger from Amazon (not sure what HP provides, size-wise) and get full charging potential.
(3) CPU is great performance and good power effiency vs Intel.
(4) 64GB RAM included. Money saved not having to buy a self-installed RAM upgrade and instead put money towards your CON #3.

This laptop isn't meant to be a performance juggernaut, but instead is a really great performance work PC with many good bells and whistles (like useful battery life) added in for just over $1K.

My 64GB Lenovo P16s was just a bit more than this with 4K OLED (but only 60Hz) and I think that was a terrific deal so this is also a great one.

I see AMEX offers on two of my credit cards for HP that would potentially make this an even slicker deal.

On my personal I have $150 off $999. On my business I have 10% off.

But NPU core is bumped from 10 TOPS to 16 TOPS, for, you know, all the possibilities with AI stuff, and you get that extra Copilot key Big Grin

I have this laptop.

The battery is not fantastic, but outside of getting some power profiles setup correctly the machine is the best laptop I've ever owned. Light, fast and the keyboard is comparable (for me) to a Dell / Lenovo / Thinkpad.

As per all the reviews I've read about this laptop (And the Elitebook version, 845 G10), this arguably has better build quality, rigidness and keyboard than the comparable Lenovo ThinkPad T14s and P14s, using similar hardware. Notebookcheck.net has mentioned multiple times that due to lenovo going with the trend of making laptops thinner, the rgidity and the keyboard experience, have been reduced in recent iterations of the ThinkPads and they mentioned that this HP new Elitebook 84X series and this Firefly G10 series are actually better.

Another thing which is going for this laptop is having proper Thunderbolt 4 certification, instead of just USB4. Although both are more or less similar, lot of older devices like docking stations, TB3 SSDs don't work with USB4 (I had faced the issues). This having TB4 certification can be helpful for lot of folks already having Thunderbolt accessorices.

Thanks for the reply.

I think another good point is that the RAM and NVME are not soldered in this unit, meaning you can swap out as much as you like.

I have only had two problems:

1. Slightly high thermals / Overheating (seemingly.) - This was solved by disabling CPU boost, which has not affected performance in ANY appreciable way. I used this to play a few smaller Steam games with friends and it chugged right along.

2. Occasionally the USBC ports won't power my dock. There is a workaround where by you hold the powerbutton down for 30 seconds after a shutdown to "reset" the state. This fixes it but it has not occurred since the last BIOS update (it is possible it was fixed, I did not check yet.)

Outside of that, and the battery being 4-6 hours (I use full brightness) it's just a great machine overall.

I still prefer the Lenovo 13x (the Core Ultra 9 185 option). Such a beautiful machine. Much thinner and somewhat lighter yet only .5" less screen. Battery is bigger at 74wh. Biggest drawback in comparison though is limitation of 32GB ram.

Check it out here at $1178
