HP EliteBook 850 G2 15.6 inch HD laptop

This HP EliteBook 850 G2 is a 15.6 inch business laptop with a 1366 x 768 HD non-touch display. It runs on an Intel Core i5-5200U dual-core processor with a base frequency of 2.20 GHz and a turbo frequency of 2.70 GHz. The system includes 8GB of DDR3 memory and a new 500GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit comes pre-installed.

Fits standard office workflows

The laptop uses a single 2.5 inch SATA SSD for the operating system and files, leaving no second drive bay occupied. Two memory slots are present with one typically populated, allowing an upgrade to 16GB maximum supported DDR3. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 handles the internal display and external monitors via the available video outputs. The silver chassis includes a webcam and Bluetooth for remote meetings.

Upgrades from mechanical drives

Replacing a traditional hard drive with the new 500GB SATA SSD cuts boot and application load times significantly. Moving from 4GB to the installed 8GB DDR3 removes the memory bottleneck common in light multitasking. The 5th generation Core i5 dual-core processor suits general productivity, web browsing and video playback. Buyers who want more storage or dedicated graphics for creative work should consider other models.
