How's the build quality vs Elitebook?
Not that good as this is their entry level Business laptop, similar to Lenovo's E series ThinkPad. Elitebook 800 series are all metal whereas this one uses mixture of aluminum and plastic. The outer shell is mostly metal but some components like the Display Bezels, Speaker housing are made of recycled plastic. You can open it in one hand and it can go 180 degree. The Chassis is very rigid as well. Check the below review of the 450 G9 which is essentially the same as this but with 12th gen i7-1255U. https://www.notebookcheck.net/HP-...790.0.html

Thank you, very helpful comment. Recently picked up a 14" Elitebook for myself, and would like to find something comparable in 15.6-16" screen size. I see Elitebooks in that screen size pop up on SD from time to time, will be on a lookout for that.

While both are entry level business laptops I find the the Probook construction to be a bit better than Thinkpad E. The latest design gen/iteration of Probook I think is absolutely phenomenal. Yeah it's no Elitebook, but at basically 1/2 price it's still a heck of a good rig.
With the way Lenovo is headed, I won't be buying anything Thinkpad anytime soon. And now that they are soldering memory down, it's an instant no-go. We can tell HP is putting effort into capturing more and more of the business market, and they are giving people and businesses/IT depts what they have been asking for. That's a huge plus
