HP EliteBook 850 G2 laptop i5-5300U 16GB 240GB SSD

HP EliteBook 850 G2 15.6" laptop

This 15.6 inch Full HD laptop runs on an Intel Core i5-5300U dual-core processor at 2.30 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.90 GHz. It includes 16GB of DDR3 memory and a new 240GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. The system ships with Microsoft Windows 10 Home 64-bit installed. It suits professionals who need a reliable mobile workstation for everyday office tasks and video calls.

Build fit: memory ceiling and storage form factor

The two memory slots are already populated to the 16GB maximum supported capacity, so no RAM upgrades are possible. The M.2 NVMe PCIe drive occupies the primary storage slot, leaving no 2.5 inch bay for an additional hard drive. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 handles the 1920 x 1080 display without a discrete GPU, freeing thermal headroom and keeping the chassis slim for travel.

Bundled OS and drive impact

Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed and activated, so the laptop is ready to use immediately. The fresh 240GB NVMe SSD provides faster boot and application load times compared to a traditional hard drive. Buyers who need Windows 11 Pro or more than 240GB of internal storage will have to arrange their own upgrade or external solution.
