Community Reviews

This refurbished HP EliteBook 845 G8 stands out as a solid business laptop with a Ryzen 5 Pro 5650U, upgradeable RAM, a backlit keyboard, and a strong fingerprint reader that works well on Linux. The battery and SSD health reports look encouraging, and the two year eBay refurbished warranty adds peace of mind. The main tradeoffs are the display, which is described as mediocre with 45 percent NTSC color, and cosmetic wear that can include scratches or small dents. The $10 coupon only applies with Klarna at checkout, making this a capable office machine if the screen is not a priority.

  • office-work buyers who want a Windows laptop with a great fingerprint scanner because multiple owners said the fingerprint reader is excellent/awesome and works reliably (including after switching to Linux).

    ElatedSpaniel543MonsieurBoyardee

  • people shopping eBay Refurbished for the added protection because commenters said eBay Refurbished includes a two-year warranty and that "Certified Refurbished" is the highest tier with inspection/testing/cleaning.

  • buyers who are okay with a non-touch EliteBook because one commenter said there's no touchscreen on this line and suggested looking at X360 models if touch is required.

    Luigis3rdcousinElatedSpaniel543

  • buyers who plan to upgrade RAM later because commenters confirmed the RAM is not soldered and there are two SODIMM slots.

    MonsieurBoyardee

  • buyers who care about bright, color-accurate displays because multiple commenters said the screen is very mediocre/bad, with mediocre brightness and colors compared to newer MacBook displays.

    ElatedSpaniel543ElatedSpaniel543EfficientAlpaca712

  • buyers who want to use coupons without Klarna financing because commenters said the $10 coupon (and other coupon attempts) only applied when using Klarna at checkout.

  • buyers expecting truly pristine cosmetic condition because even "Certified Refurbished" units were reported to have visible/fine scratches or stains (e.g., scratches near the trackpad or casing scratches).

    ElatedSpaniel543aesoprockyEssemble

  • buyers who need a touchscreen because commenters noted this unit has no touchscreen and recommended X360 models instead if touch is a must.

If you want an HP Elitebook touch screen, look for their X360 models.

It shows a $10 coupon code for me, making this even slicker at $190.

I got mine from this seller and I'm really happy with it. There are some light scratches next to the keypad but you can't really see them most of the time. It's a bit thicker than I thought, but feels solid. I don't think it travelled much, was probably a corporate laptop kept at the office. It was either connected to a keyboard or the keyboard has been replaced, because there's no obvious key wear.

No touchscreen but the keyboard is backlit. The battery has 13 cycles, so has clearly been replaced, I just hope it isn't some cheapo replacement. Cystaldisk says the SSD has run over 1700 hours and 1000+ power on count, so it's had over three years of solid use, which may give pause to some. I tested it for a few days under Win 11 and everything was perfect. Must be the best finger print scanner I've used on a windows machine.

I've installed Ubuntu 25 on it and everything runs great except the fingerprint scanner, but I can see it's detected and I probably just need to fiddle with it a bit.

edit: the screen isn't very bright or have nice colours. Fine for office work but doesn't hold a candle to any recent macbook.

Yea, I saw a $50 coupon on a desktop I was going to buy but it wouldn't let me apply it at checkout since I wasn't using Klarma financing.

Klarna needs to bring in the 20% coupon if they want me to deal with their bs. Laptop itself seems solid for the price though.

I got one recently, too. I like it quite a lot.

The fingerprint reader is definitely awesome. I wiped mine immediately and put Arch Linux (BTW). It was picked up by fprintd and I even did some pam configuration so I can use the fingerprint reader in the terminal too. It's pretty convenient to be able to sudo with your fingerprint.

The description on the one I got said it had an Intel Wi-Fi adapter in it. Mine came with a Qualcomm QCNFA765 which works very well.

The battery had less than 10 cycles on it and shows 100% health. The SSD showed 14,600 hours and 561 power cycles. 12.1 TB read and 19.6 TB written.

One thing that was concerning is I opened it up to make sure it was clean inside and I found an extra screw floating around loose. It was for the second m.2 slot so I threaded it on the stud. So they did do some work on it and apparently didn't do the best job.

The top cover had a skin on it so I removed that to inspect the shell under. There is a small dent in it but nothing even remotely serious. The rest of the laptop is in very good condition.

I had to check and I bought mine from the seller as well. Can't beat a 'free' two year warranty with eBay Refurbished.

I see. Good to know. What brand does the modules show? I wonder if it Crucial or Samsung, and if it buffered?

45% NTSC <--- that screen is horrible

-------------------------------------

MacBook Pro: ~135% sRGB

45% NTSC panel: ~60–65% sRGB

You're looking at roughly half the color volume. Practically: colors on the 45% NTSC panel will look dull, desaturated, and "cheap" next to your Macs.

Why a full wipe? Why not just dual boot with Windows and Linux? Some things don't work on Linux (Many Steam games and Fandango/Vudu movie streaming for example). A Windows license is a commodity, which you paid for with this product.
