There are others that are similar that will work. This one has the connector in a slightly different location so the cable routing was not the same as the original but it works. I'm sure you can find one with the right connector location. I'm very happy with the result. Make sure to install the AMD graphics drivers to ensure correct panel settings are used by Windows. I dual boot Fedora 44 KDE and everything works as expected.
Edit: I also used it with a Dell TB16 Thunderbolt 3 dock, a HP G2 TB3 dock, and a newer Dell TB4 dock in my office. No issues.
Community Reviews
This EliteBook 845 G9 stands out as a sturdy, business class 14 inch laptop with a Ryzen 7 PRO 6850U, 32GB of DDR5, and easy upgrade paths for both memory and SSD. The chassis gets praise for solid build quality, and the 680M graphics are strong enough for older games and everyday development work. Battery life is the main limitation, with the 38Wh pack and refurbished condition making long unplugged use less certain. The display also draws criticism for being dim and dull, though replacement panels and dock support are straightforward. A capable, upgrade friendly machine if battery and screen quality are not the priority.
Common Questions (4)
Yes. The RAM can be upgraded to 64GB, and the SSD can be swapped out as well. This makes the 32GB/512GB configuration easier to expand later if you need more memory or storage.
Battery life is reported as decent for general use, but the 38Wh battery means it may not last all day under heavier use. It can be fine as a daily driver, but it is not a long-runtime machine.
The stock display is described as dim and dull, and some users replace it with a 400-nit panel for better color. The panel swap can improve brightness and gamut, but it may require different cable routing and AMD graphics drivers for correct settings.
Yes. It is described as sturdy, well built, and a reliable daily driver, with strong upgradeability for memory and storage. The main trade-offs noted are the screen and battery life.
