Find out more about how we test. The HP EliteBook 830 G5 starting at $1,249; $2,256 as tested is a sleek 13-inch business notebook that's good for productivity. Work's a breeze with its comfy keyboard and fast 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor in the model I tested. Unfortunately, it's a little heavy, and the touch-screen display is lackluster. Otherwise, the EliteBook 830 G5's above-average battery life and solid set of security and durability features make it worthy of silver aluminum HP EliteBook 820 G5 is an elegant machine, with small touches that differentiate it from most business notebooks. A groove in the middle of the front edges of the lid and deck enables easy one-handed opening, and its back edge tapers outward for a nice wedge pounds and measuring inches thick, the 13-inch EliteBook 830 G5 is heavier than the 14-inch Huawei MateBook X Pro pounds, inches and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon pounds, inches. The 14-inch Dell Latitude 7490 pounds, inches is similar in weight and EliteBook 830's Thunderbolt 3, Ethernet, HDMI and USB ports are on its right side, next to the headphone jack, power jack and HP docking port. If you customize the laptop with cellular support, you'll see a SIM slot next to the headphone second USB port is on the left side, near the lock slot and optional smart Card and DurabilityThe HP EliteBook 830 G5 features a lot of security perks, but some cost extra. A TPM security chip comes standard and protects important data, while Intel's vPro technology allows for remote management and is free, but it's available only on configs with supported CPUs Core i5-7300U, Core i5-8350U and Core i7-8650U. You'll need to pay $12 extra for a fingerprint reader, though. HP's Sure View displays offer one-click privacy, making the screens opaque and white for anyone looking over your shoulder. The model I tested didn't include Sure View, but it's available on EliteBooks starting at $1, terms of durability, the EliteBook 830 G5 is built tough. The laptop passed 13 of the MIL-SPEC-810G tests, which are used to ensure durability for military equipment. Those tests include getting hit with dust from Arizona roads for 6 hours, exposure to up 8,000 volts of electrostatic discharge and operation in extreme temperatures from minus 20 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The Dell Latitude 7490 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon passed similar tests, but the Huawei MateBook X Pro isn't tested at those trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp looked particularly dull on the HP EliteBook 830 G5, partly because the panel is super-reflective. The reds of Ghost's eyes didn't glow as strongly as I expected, and an SUV's gold trim looked more yellow than it should to our colorimeter, the EliteBook 830 G5 produces a low 72 percent of the sRGB spectrum, which falls below the 113-percent premium-notebook average. Higher ratings came from the Huawei MateBook X Pro 124 percent, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 129 percent with a 1080p screen, 199 percent with a 2K screen and the Dell Latitude 7490 118 percent.A trailer for Ant-Man and the Wasp looked particularly dull on the HP EliteBook 830 G5, partly because the panel is EliteBook 830 G5 we tested isn't that bright, either; its screen maxes out at 218 nits of brightness, which is below the 305-nit category average. Higher ratings came from the MateBook X Pro 458 nits, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 293 nits with a 1080p screen, 469 nits with a 2K screen and the Latitude 7490 277 nits.If you opt for a nontouch screen, you save $68 and get a display that HP rates at 400 nits. Personally, I'd make that choice, as this muted display was clouded by light reflected off of its glossy screen, leading to poor visibility when viewed from 30 degrees or more to the left or Laptops with the Best Overall PerformanceThat touch screen, though, tracked my taps accurately as I navigated the desktop. It also recognized Windows 10's edge-swipe gestures and enabled smooth scrolling in Touchpad and Pointing StickPardon the pun, but keyboards are a hot-button issue for me these days. And the HP EliteBook 820 G5 won a lot of points with me for its comfortable typing experience. When I tested out the keyboard on the typing test, I easily tied my 80-words-per-minute average. This is due in part to the keys' relatively deep millimeters of vertical travel and 78 grams of required actuation force. Both measurements fall near or within the to 2 millimeters and 60 grams or more we look for.As I navigated the desktop, the EliteBook 830 G5's x touchpad tracked my input accurately. It also smoothly registered two-finger scrolling and Windows 10's three-finger navigation swipes, though the latter once required me to restart the users will be excited to know the EliteBook 830 G5 offers a pointing stick and a pair of physical mouse buttons. This concave nub tracks input accurately and allows you to keep your fingers on the home row of keys so you don't need to move them down to the touchpad. Yes, that may sound strange, but some people live and die by whether a laptop has a Bang & Olufsen-tuned speakers in the HP EliteBook 830 G5 provided quality audio, filling a medium-size conference room. When listening to Pusha T's "The Story of Adidon," I heard the rapper's brutal vocals come through clearly, while the track's sample of Nina Simone's "Four Women" was reproduced accurately. As I blasted Grandtheft & Keys N Krates' track "Keep It 100," the thump of the instrumental track demonstrated that the laptop handles bass well. The Huawei MateBook X Pro and the Dell Latitude 7490 also produced great sound, while we thought the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon's audio was "tinny."MORE The Best Headsets for Immersive GamingYou can ignore the included Bang & Olufsen audio presets app, as the two decent settings Music the default and Movies sound nearly indistinguishable. Voice, the third option, flattens background sounds and could ostensibly be used to try hearing someone who mumbles too HP EliteBook 830 G5 I tested, which packs an Intel Core i7-8650U processor with 8GB of RAM, provides enough speed for solid multitasking. I saw no stutter or lag after splitting my screen between a dozen Chrome tabs, including Slack, Giphy, Google Docs and a 1080p YouTube EliteBook 830 G5 notched a high 15,169 on the Geekbench 4 general performance benchmark, which beats the 10,586 premium-notebook average, the 12,913 from the Huawei MateBook X Pro Core i7-8550U with 16GB of RAM and the 13,680 from the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Core i7-8550U with 16GB of RAM. The Dell Latitude 7490 Core i7-8650U with 8GB of RAM came close to the EliteBook, with a score of 14, saw no stutter or lag after splitting my screen between a dozen Chrome tabs, including Slack, Giphy, Google Docs and a 1080p YouTube 512GB PCIe NVMe Self Encrypted OPAL2 TLC SSD in our EliteBook 830 G5 duplicated of multimedia files in 11 seconds, for a speedy rate of 463 MBps. That's much faster than the 289-MBps category average, as well as the 283 MBps from the MateBook X Pro 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD, the 509 MBps from the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 512GB NVMe PCIe SSD and the 299 MBps from the Latitude 7490 256GB NVMe PCIe SSD.The EliteBook 820 G5 finished our Excel VLookup test matching 60,000 names to addresses in 1 minute and 21 seconds, which is better than the 136 category average and the 149 from the MateBook X Pro. The Latitude 7490 119 took about as long, while the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 104 posted a faster EliteBook 830 G5 converted a 4K video to 1080p in HandBrake in 16 minutes and 19 seconds, which beats the 2212 category average. The MateBook X Pro 2718, ThinkPad X1 Carbon 1900 and Latitude 7490 2135 all took more with just its integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 chip, the EliteBook earned a middling score of 70,914, which is less than the 85,178 category average. The MateBook X Pro Nvidia MX150 with 2GB of memory earned 116,359, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon Intel UHD 620 notched 88,143 and the Dell Latitude 7490 Intel UHD 620 got 87,894 - all higher than the EliteBook's Which GPU is Right For You?The EliteBook ran the Dirt 3 racing game set at medium graphics at 1080p at a smooth 60 frames per second. However, the premium-notebook average is a higher 71 fps, and we saw faster rates from the MateBook X Pro 117 fps, the ThinkPad X1 Carbon 63 fps and the Latitude 7490 64 fps.Battery LifeThe HP EliteBook 830 G5 offers solid battery life. It lasted 8 hours and 20 minutes on the Laptop Mag Battery Test web surfing at 150 nits. That's 2 minutes longer than the 818 premium-notebook average. Longer times came from the Huawei MateBook X Pro 955, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 1028 with a 2K, HDR screen; 1101 with a 1080p screen and the Dell Latitude 7490 855.WebcamThe webcam in the HP EliteBook 830 G5 is another just barely decent integrated camera in a long line of webcams I've tested over the years. Yes, the selfie I shot with the camera shows some correct hues in my face and shirt, but natural light from outside is so blown out, it looks like a nuclear bomb was detonated nearby. Sure, it's good enough for teleconferencing, which is what you'll use it for, but it's sad how predictably poor this sensor HP EliteBook 830 G5 gets warm, but at acceptable levels. After we streamed HD video on the machine for 15 minutes, our heat gun captured readings of 97 and degrees Fahrenheit on its keyboard and underside, respectively, which slightly breach our 95-degree comfort threshold. The mousepad registered a cool 87 issues are pretty common with the competition The bottoms of the Huawei MateBook X Pro 103 degrees, Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 104 degrees and Dell Latitude 7490 between and 107 degrees got pretty hot, and the MateBook's keyboard registered 101 of my favorite parts of business notebooks such as the HP EliteBook 830 G5 is how they often feature minimal bloatware. For example, the EliteBook's preloaded apps are proprietary titles that are mostly useful. These include HP PhoneWise, which syncs texts and calls between PCs and smartphones. Android users will get a nearly seamless experience, whereas iPhone users will need to keep their device unlocked with the PhoneWise app How to Use Windows 10Then, there's HP WorkWise, which helps the EliteBook fit into modern offices, effortlessly connecting to printers and more. HP JumpStart helps newcomers get to know their device and its OptionsI tested a $2,240 configuration of the HP EliteBook 830 G5 with a Core i7-8650U CPU, 8GB of RAM, 512GB of SSD storage and a 1920 x 1080-pixel touch-screen display. This model is nearly ideal for me, but I would have swapped out the touch screen for the nontouch display that's $68 less and far EliteBook 830 G5 starts at $1,249, but that model has an outdated 7th Gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of storage and a 256GB SSD. Its screen is also rated at a relatively low 220 nits of you constantly fear someone will steal your data or invade your privacy by looking over your shoulder, consider getting a model featuring HP's Sure View technology. With a single click, it makes the screen look opaque to anyone looking from the side or above. Models of the EliteBook 830 G5 with Sure View start at $1,499, and come with an 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8250U CPU, 8GB of memory and 256GB of SSD LineThe HP EliteBook 830 G5's speed and comfortable typing experience make it a fantastic machine for getting things done. One downside, however, is that, despite its e sweet sound, the reflective, mediocre display is frustrating for streaming movies or you want a brighter, more colorful display, save $741 and get the $1,499 Huawei MateBook X Pro, but know that it's not tested for ruggedness and doesn't offer HDMI or Ethernet ports. Another option, the $2,084 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon, packs a fantastic screen and more than 2 hours of extra battery life, but its audio quality left us wanting more. If you're looking to maximize privacy, though, a Sure View-based HP EliteBook 830 G5 is definitely worth Shaun Lucas/Laptop MagBest HP LaptopsBest Laptops for College StudentsThe Best Laptops for Business and Productivity BluetoothBluetooth BrandHP CPUIntel Core i7-8650U processor Card SlotsSmart Card, SIM Display Graphics CardIntel UHD Graphics 620 Hard Drive Size512GB Hard Drive TypePCIe NVMe TLC SSD Highest Available Resolution1920 x 1080 Native Resolution1920x1080 Operating SystemWindows 10 Pro 64-bit Ports excluding USBHeadphone, HP UltraSlim Dock Connector, Thunderbolt 3, USB Ethernet, HDMI RAM8GB RAM Upgradable to32GB x x in Touchpad x inches USB Ports3 Video MemoryShared Warranty/Support1-year limited warranty pounds a/b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi ModelIntel 8265 a/b/g/n/ac 2x2 Less Most Popular hp-support-head-portlet Ações ${title} Carregando... hp-contact-secondary-navigation-portlet Ações ${title} Carregando...

The EliteBook 830 G5 is the smallest from the new line-up of premium business devices by HP. However, being the smallest one doesn’t mean it drags behind. This device shares every single feature with its larger brothers – the EliteBook 840 G5 Specs and Prices / Detailed Review and the EliteBook 850 G5 Specs and Prices / Detailed Review. With this trio, HP fights on all three fronts in the segment. If you need a tiny form factor, a blazingly fast performance, and docking capabilities – this device is appropriate for you. Despite featuring the same design and hardware, HP has dropped the dedicated AMD Radeon RX 540 from the EliteBook 830 G5. If you have already read our reviews of the larger models, you’ll know that they had problems cooling this GPU. Hence, HP has decided that there is no point to further worsen the thermals. However, our unit features the 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U, 8GB of DDR4-2400 MHz RAM as well as a Full HD IPS touchscreen panel.

Apart from the device itself, there is a 45W charging unit, as well as some boring documentation. Design and construction HP EliteBook 830 G5 features an all aluminum design which feels nice to touch. It is also fairly resistant to fingerprints and smudges. Although its super thin side bezels should make it appear smaller, the device actually looks a bit squarish. That’s due to the large “chin” and “forehead” of the screen. However, the laptop measures at 310 x 229 x mm x x and weighs kg lbs for the non-touch screen option, and kg lbs for the one with a touchscreen. In addition to the metal cover, the lid is strengthened by the Gorilla Glass 3, placed on top of the screen. This not only makes it scratch and crack resistant but also tougher against torsion loads, preventing it from bending too much. As seen in the other models – the “forehead” houses the Web camera, some mics, and the face recognition device. Looking at the base of the device we see – Bang & Olufsen branded speakers at the top. Next, we have the tiny power button located right above the escape key – yes, we did press it accidentally a couple of times. The keyboard itself has good feedback, while the travel is not the longest out there. Right in the middle of it, you can see the joystick. Above the touchpad are the two dedicated mouse buttons that come with it. Speaking of the touchpad, it has a glass cover and provides a very accurate response. While the sides of the EliteBook 830 G5 are considerably smaller than those of its brothers, the I/O configuration remains the same. On the left, you can see the hot air exhaust grills, as well as a USB Type-A port with charging support and a Smart Card slot. On the other side are located the charging port, followed by a USB Type-C Thunderbolt connector. Next, we have a docking port, RJ-45 and HDMI connectors, USB Type-A and an audio combo jack. Disassembly and maintenance While it lacks a service panel, the back plate of the HP EliteBook 830 G5’s removal is a child’s play. Eight screws and a couple of minutes later you are inside. The first thing that makes an impression is the lack of extra space inside this body. First, we are going to take a look at the cooling of this laptop. Here we have a rather conventional solution – a relatively large heat pipe, a heatsink, and a fan to blow away the heat. Right beneath the Core i7-8550U are located both of the RAM DIMMs which support a total of 32GB of DDR4 memory. Furthermore, below that, you can see the 50Wh battery unit which is the same we found in the 14-inch EliteBook 840 G5. And lastly, but surely one of the most important pieces of hardware here – the 512 GB Samsung PM981 NVMe SSD. It is one of the fastest drives on the planet Earth at the moment. However, it may not be the choice of use in your region. Display quality HP EliteBook 830 G5 in the configuration we tested is equipped with a Full HD IPS touch-sensitive panel with a model number Chi Mei CMN1375. It has a diagonal of inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1080, leading to a pixel pitch of x mm and a pixel density of 166 ppi, thus making it appear as “Retina” when viewed from at least 50 cm. Viewing angles are excellent. We measured a peak brightness of 217 nits in the center of the screen and 206 nits as an average across the surface with 8% maximum deviation. The optimal correlated color temperature in sRGB is 6500K. This device goes close to that value with 6700K on a white screen and slightly colder along the grey scale – 6780K. You can see how values change at 140 nits or in other words – 82% brightness. Values above are unwanted and should not be present. The contrast ratio is very good – 11901 11601 after calibration. Color reproduction To make sure we are on the same page, we would like to give you a little introduction to the sRGB color gamut and the Adobe RGB. To start, there’s the CIE 1976 Uniform Chromaticity Diagram that represents the visible specter of colors by the human eye, giving you a better perception of the color gamut coverage and the color accuracy. Inside the black triangle, you will see the standard color gamut sRGB that is being used by millions of people in HDTV and on the web. As for the Adobe RGB, this is used in professional cameras, monitors etc for printing. Basically, colors inside the black triangle are used by everyone and this is the essential part of the color quality and color accuracy of a mainstream notebook. Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD standard. however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. EliteBook 830 G5’s display is able to reproduce only 53% of the colors in the sRGB gamut. We tested the accuracy of the display with 24 commonly used colors like light and dark human skin, blue sky, green grass, orange etc. You can check out the results at factory condition and also, with the “Design and Gaming” profile. The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light. The left side of the image represents the display with stock settings, while the right one is with the “Gaming and Web Design” profile activated. On the horizontal axis, you will find the grayscale and on the vertical axis – the luminance of the display. In the two graphs below you can easily check for yourself how your display handles the darkest nuances but keep in mind that this also depends on the settings of your current display, the calibration, the viewing angle and the surrounding light conditions. Response time Gaming capabilities We test the reaction time of the pixels with the usual “black-to-white” and “white-to-black” method from 10% to 90% and reverse. We recorded Fall Time + Rise Time = 24 ms. PWM Screen flickering Pulse-width modulation PWM is an easy way to control monitor brightness. When you lower the brightness, the light intensity of the backlight is not lowered, but instead turned off and on by the electronics with a frequency indistinguishable to the human eye. In these light impulses, the light/no-light time ratio varies, while brightness remains unchanged, which is harmful to your eyes. You can read more about that in our dedicated article on PWM. This screen’s backlight uses PWM to adjust its brightness only up to 60 nits and moreover, it does it with a very high frequency. As a result, the display is not that harmful in this aspect and can be used for extended periods of time. Blue light emissions Installing of our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. Conclusion Typically for an IPS panel, HP EliteBook 830 G5 has comfortable viewing angles and a very good contrast ratio. However, the screen is not very color accurate, neither is it able to reproduce a huge gamut of colors. One of the most important features of a business grade screen is covered, though, as the screen doesn’t use aggressive PWM for adjusting screen brightness. Moreover, if you want to completely eliminate the pulsations our Health-Guard profile can take care of that.

Drivers You can find all drivers and utilities for the HP EliteBook 830 G5 on HPs official website Battery As always, the battery tests were run with Windows power saving setting turned and Wi-Fi turned on, and the screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits. EliteBook 830 G5 features the same 3-cell 50Wh battery unit as it’s larger brother with the clarification that it has to illuminate a smaller area. This resulted in 11+ hours of web browsing, 8 hours and a half of video playback, and three hours and 45 minutes of gaming away from the charger. Web surfing In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites. Video playback For every test like this, we use the same video in HD. Gaming We use F1 2017’s built-in benchmark on loop in order to simulate real-life gaming. CPU – Intel Core i7-8550U The Intel Core i7-8550U is part of the new 8th Generation Kaby Lake Refresh and it’s a direct successor to the Intel Core i7-7500U from the Kaby Lake generation and the Intel Core i7-6500U from the 6th Skylake generation. With the latest alteration to the ULV ultra-low voltage processors, Intel doubles the core count from 2 to 4 and retaining the so-called Hyper-Threading technology, keeping the same 14nm manufacturing process and feature the same 15W TDP. However, due to the core count change, the base frequency of the Core i7-8550U is lowered to only GHz while Turbo Boost frequencies remain pretty high – somewhere between – GHz. This ensures considerably higher multi-core and single-core performance during short workloads before going back to more bearable frequencies considering the 15W TDP but most of the other specs and features remain the same. The chip also incorporates a newer Intel Gen integrated graphics called Intel UHD Graphics 620. The support for Google’s VP9 codec and Main 10 is still the most notable feature of the iGPU. Intel claims that the new UHD 620 chips improve the overall power consumption compared to the previous one.

UHD Graphics 620 is codenamed “Kaby Lake R U GT2” and it’s a part of the Gen generation. Intel UHD Graphics 620 has roughly the same performance as HD Graphics 620, depending on the other components in the system. UHD Graphics 620’s performance is similar to AMD Radeon R5 M420X and NVIDIA GeForce 910M/920M.

Or at least they did that for our region keep that in mind before you purchase. However, we got Read speeds of MB/s and Write ones of 1922 MB/s – a very fast performance. Gaming tests Despite lacking a dedicated GPU, EliteBook 830 G5 will give you the opportunity to play casual games such as CSGO and DOTA 2 at 768p at low graphics settings. All that with a decent framerate just run away from smoke grenades in CS if you don’t want a drop to 7-8 fps. CSGO HD 768p, Low Check settings HD 768p, Medium Check settings HD 768p, MAX Check settings Average FPS 66 fps 46 fps 22 fps Min FPS 7 fps 8 fps 2 fps DOTA 2 HD 768p, Low Check settings HD 768p, Normal Check settings HD 768p, High Check settings Average FPS 66 fps 35 fps 25 fps Grand Theft Auto V GTA 5 HD 768p, Low Check settings HD 768p, Medium Check settings HD 768p, Very High Check settings Average FPS 28 fps – fps – fps Min FPS 15 fps – fps – fps Temperatures The temperature tests go this way. We use Prime95 and FurMark to torture the CPU and the GPU respectively. This won’t give real-life representation but with our methodology, we try to give you the most optimal results. The first values from the test are from the 30th second of running the Prime95 stress test, which simulates a heavy task run on your computer usually lighter tasks take from a part of the second up to a couple of seconds. Next, we take the ones from the 2nd-minute mark, which imitates a very heavy task, run on the CPU. The last values we give you are the ones at the end of the test, which is 15 minutes, simulating the CPU load when rendering a video, for example. 0-15 min. CPU torture test First, Intel Core i7-8550U has a base clock of GHz and a turbo one of GHz. Also, it idled at 42°C on our unit. However, the maximum frequency we measured was GHz on one of the cores, while the other ones peaked at GHz. After around 14 seconds the temperature reached 88°C, thus resulting in a drop in frequencies to GHz. Cores frequency 0 – 0030 sec. CPU Temperature 0 – 0030 sec. That value remained constant through the end of the second-minute mark with package temperatures never going above 69°C. Cores frequency 0 – 200 min. CPU Temperature 0 – 200 min. We were about to call it a day, until at the end the clock speeds suffered from a further slump down to GHz. However, we have to mention that, like its larger brothers, EliteBook 830 G5 remained relatively quiet throughout the entire period of the test. Moreover, achieving an average temperature of Cores frequency 0 – 1500 min. CPU Temperature 0 – 1500 min. Despite being the smallest from the pack, the EliteBook 830 G5 was the most comfortable to use under extreme load. It never got too hot on the hands with the highest temperature being 44°C in the top middle part of the device. Verdict HP had an interesting approach with its EliteBook 800 devices. Actually, we are talking about the similarities and differences between the and the 14-inch model. To be precise – we are wondering why they have bothered introducing two models at all?! Usually, you do that, so one of the laptops can be stealthier. However, this is not the case here, as the smaller model is merely 1 cm shorter than the “larger” one. That difference is indiscernible in real life. Don’t get us wrong, though. We loved the HP EliteBook 830 G5. It has a magnificent build quality and a very nice touchscreen and touchpad. However, we miss the NFC and we can’t think of a reason not to put one in a body shorter with just a centimeter. Here we have to mention the keyboard which, despite missing a column of keys, has good quality feedback. Moreover, it is splash resistant. As you might have seen in the raw benchmark section, the CPU of the EliteBook 830 G5 has the most headroom from all devices in the line-up. Not only that, but it is the most thermally efficient, as it lacks the relatively uncompetitive RX 540. One of the strongest points of this laptop is its battery life. We got more than 11 hours of web browsing and around 8 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. Moreover, if you are really into gaming, you can do it for 3 hours and 45 minutes only on battery power. Unfortunately, as with every laptop, the EliteBook 830 G5 has its downsides. Its bigger one is the poor color range which makes it inappropriate for designers. In addition to that, raw performance is still not on par with other devices in this price range *cough* Dell XPS 13 9370 *cough*. Despite our incomprehension as to why HP even included this device in their line-up, we have to say that we enjoyed it the most and we have the least to complain about. Pros Very good input devices High contrast screen with comfortable viewing angles Easy to get inside and upgrade PWM is not aggressive can be terminated completely with the Health-Guard profile Supports super fast NVMe storage Backlit keyboard Excellent battery life Cons Core i7-8550U underperforms in raw benchmarks Premium price for a premium device Mediocre color range Lacks the NFC of its larger brothers
