HP EliteBook 830 G5 13.3" FHD i5-7300U 16GB 512GB laptop

Compact 13.3-inch business laptop

The HP EliteBook 830 G5 is a 13.3-inch Full HD notebook built for mobile professionals. It runs on an Intel Core i5-7300U dual-core processor with a 2.6 GHz base frequency and 3.5 GHz turbo. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 memory and a 512 GB SSD provide responsive multitasking and fast boot times. Windows 10 Pro comes pre-installed.

Suits daily office work.

This configuration handles document editing, web browsing and video calls without trouble. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 uses shared system memory, so buyers who want more storage or a discrete GPU for 3D rendering should look at something else. The non-touch IPS panel delivers 1920 x 1080 resolution in a silver chassis weighing 2.93 lb.

Steady thermals in a thin chassis

Dimensions of 12.22 x 9.03 x 0.7 inches leave limited airflow, so the dual-core chip throttles under prolonged heavy loads to stay within thermal limits. Short bursts reach the 3.5 GHz turbo, but sustained compile or encode tasks settle at lower clocks. A Thunderbolt port and HDMI 1.4 output allow external displays for desk sessions.
