I've owned 20+ Thinkpads, Dell XPS/Precision, Macbooks, HP X360, and now this HP 845 G9.

Regarding the build quality - The HP Elitebook series will be better than any consumer models (Spectre, Lenovo Slim, Inspiron, etc...). Basically, other than the Macbook Air/Pro, the Elitebook will be better build quality than anything you can find at Costco.

Compared to other business laptops on build quality (feel) - I'd still rank Thinkpads as higher build quality, then Dell Precision, then HP. When you talk about reliability though, I would go Thinkpad, then HP, then Dell.

From a performance perspective, this is a great deal for folks. Unless you are gaming, the 680M integrated graphics card is the best integrated graphics card out there. Period.

If you're wanting a cool running, high performing laptop, this is a good deal, unless you can find an equal deal on the Thinkpad.

No. Mine is generic.


No coupon code, you have to create a HP EPP account.



​I'm not an employee, but got the EPP deal. See below.

See below.

HP Employee Purchase Program. There's several ways you can get it.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS
MILITARY, HEALTHCARE, AND FIRST RESPONDERS
BUSINESS


See below, I'll tell you what I did.

_______________________________________________________



The following two methods is how I got an HP EPP Account. I was able to make an account with both methods. The steps are high level and from my memory, so figure out the missing steps if you get stuck:




1) With id.me

a) Go to https://shop.id.me/stores/2524-hp...se-program
b) Click bottom link: 'Shop Now'
c) Click 'Sign In' and log into id.me
d) It will forward do to HP's site: "HP Employee Purchase Program. Welcome ID.me"
e) Click 'Register'
f) create the account and you will get the discounted price after done


2) Without id.me
a) Go to https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/cv/employee
b) Click 'Register'
c) Fill in 'First name', 'Last name', 'Email address'
d) Leave 'Compnay name' blank
e) Fill in 'Company code'
For EXAMPLE:
(personally used these instructions) https://team.georgia.gov/wp-conte...eorgia.pdf
(or try) https://customers.usli.com/sites/...rchase.pdf
f) create the account and you will get the discounted price after done

That's a beast. Beast as you can get without a dedicated gpu!!

Yes, yes. Intel can be "faster", but I'll take a little slower cpu with that igpu any day.

Lots of us have asked the same.

14p: 300 nits screen, Faster LPDDR5-6400MHz but soldered, faster 6800H, Windows 11 Home
865/845: brighter 400nits screen, DDR5-4800 but upgradable, 6850U, Windows 10/11 Pro

I need 2 of these computers, one of each? Ha
It's such a tough decision!

Honestly the lack of USB4 kills it for me. That (or TB4 on Intel) should be a given on notebooks of this price. ESPECIALLY on an enterprise grade notebook.

The Elitebook will have higher build quality, quieter, and WAY better battery life.

Really wanted to buy this. Thinkpad z13 also has a "Pro" version of 6650 U, 6850U (*) and 6850Z series..Anyone know if this is better than Z-13's or not? Any insight would be truly helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Newly released Thinkpad's have similar "Pro" versions of 6650, 6850 (*) and 6850 (Z)…Does anyone know if these are comparable or better ….? I cannot decide between this, Z13 or Dell XPS 13 plus..Please share any insight. Thank you

You can always resize your text if you're responding to "pretty tiny" text.

I code on 16" Macbooks (2019 and 2021) with resolutions 3072x1920 and 3456x2234. It can be tiny, but I size it too my liking.

However, is 1920x1200 too low? That's unclear to me for coding.
You wlll see less lines of code on each page..
