I ordered this laptop twice from NewEgg. First had 71% battery capability, scuffs and no Bluetooth at all.
I returned that one and ordered a second which also has scuffs, a webcam, and different components as those listed. The hinge also has a click everytime I open it. Now in the process of returning that one as it's also not like the item description.
These laptops are really nice, still plenty fast in 2025, and I prefer windows for work but dang is it frustrating going through just to find a decent one that's actually what they're selling.
im not saying this to deter anyone from this computer but more so as a heads up that you should check your laptop when it comes to be sure you're getting what you paid for.

It has a proprietary AC adapter, and it charges via USB-C as well.

so I see there's more chatter for this post. I've recently dove into the world of used/refurbished HP elitebooks. Previously, I had only bought dell latitudes, but dell has pretty much gone to LPDDR RAM on all 7000 series latitudes for 14" and 13.3" (which is the form factor that I like). I didn't have much knowledge about the HP business line, until recently, and learned all about the world of Zbooks, Elitebooks, and Probooks. Based on what I've searched on ebay, if you are using this as just a dependable everyday laptop for yourself or family memebers, at ~$255 you can probably bumped down 1 tier in the elitebook line and look at the 640 (intel processors) or 645 (AMD processors), and get a G10 (10th generation) which will get you laptop 2 years newer than the laptop offered here which is a G8 (8th generation). For the elitebook 645 G10, you're getting either the Ryzen 5 7530U or the Ryzen 7730U. Right now, there's quite a few 645's at around $270-280 just sitting there for buy it now, and I've seen it happen enough times where if you add it to your watchlist, and it sits for like a week, the seller may offer people that "watch" the item a counter offer with like a 5% discount, which will get it close to this $255 price, but you get a better processor. And the elitebook 840/845 and 640/645 both come 2 sodimm slots for memory (so no worries about soldered ram). I think the only difference between the 8XX and 6XX line of elitebook might be the screen. The 600 line i think is just a simple 300 nit, 1900x1080 screen, while the 800 line has a better screen.

I bought this same laptop from Newegg. The Bluetooth is there - it is just deactivated in bios, along with fingerprint reader (obviously corporate security configurations) . Enter bios, activate, and you'll be fine.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think a MAJOR downside is that it has a proprietary AC adapter for power input (the USB-C ports are not for power). Is that correct?
No, the laptop can be charged both with UsB-c and propriety blue tip HP charger

Man, how do people sell laptops and not take a picture of the keyboard layout?

No webcam is an odd choice for a business laptop.

Fair enough. Definitely an oversight of mine on the first and really good to know. Unfortunately, there were other issues that caused me to return it. Will try to get one that ticks all the boxes tho.

I got the 645 g9 for $220 that was posted the other day. I consider that a much better value. Same size screen. One generation newer up to 64 GB of RAM, which I just ordered. The wwan slot also supporte 2240
Nvme. I would say this should be $190

what's the downside here?
besides older processor and 6lb weight, and a tiny 256gb drive.
6lbs? Are you buying 2 to mimic a dual monitor setup?

Just got mine today. There are a few minor scratches at the bottom and a dent on the edge of the lid. But inside looks pretty neat and clean. Flawless screen and keyboard area. So once lid is open it does look like 'like new'. Battery came low at 12% or so but is getting charged. Overall I'm happy at this price point.

My device keeps crashing after updating to the latest Windows. If I can't resolve the issue in the next few days, I will be returning it.

You know what....could be an easy fix if you like the hardware itself.
Just try fresh install Windows 11 pro (steps can be easily found on Google). The laptop itself is eligible for activation upon the installation and hence you don't need to pay for license whatnot. That would almost always fix any OS/SW related problems.
Just saying, in case you would like to keep the laptop itself but you just wanted to take care of the crashing issue.
