Poor screen (dark, low-contrast, bluish cast)

Compared with the EliteBook 840, only the innards have been modified in the identically built EliteBook 745. The new AMD APU makes an overall good impression. Although the APU's processor partly cannot compete with Intel's premium models from the Core...

Weight and Size

-Processor is weak, less power than a smartphone -Ram looks good on paper but with weak processor doesn't do the job -Screen is relatively small

Silent, battery last 3-4 hrs whilst surfing. I wiped the laptop when it arrived after first noting windows key and did a clean install of windows 10. Works great. Text appears small, but that is a combination of a 14" screen and higher resolution that...

Dont like the HP bundled software that came installed on the laptop. May be great for business but as this is for personnel use I found it a pain.

finger print log on. reasonable speed. not to heavy.

battery life

Small & light, good battery life. Solid build.

Not the fastest processor, but OK for web, word processing etc.

Fast and feels well built.

Requires external hard drive as the internal hardrive is small (due to being SSD), but not too much of a problem as hard drives are relatively cheap now.

Decent build quality, great keyboard and touch pad. Nice lightweight machine but with good screen. Boot speed incredibly fast. Limited memory but enough if you're just using Office; Windows 7 pro and Full Office suite loaded with plenty of memory left....

Some users may want a larger hard drive, but with Cloud storage for large files, this isn't a problem for me.

A HP lap-top for a little over £250 - what's not to love VGA port - no special adaptor needed to connect to a printer Plenty of USB ports

Key board does not have a backlight so need to be in a well lit environment to use

14" Screen is very acceptable, crisp and clear despite being used to 17" 1920x1080. Keyboard is most pleasant to use including touchstick which I'm used to. 4 USB ports, one being powered, HDMI, even though not tried yet. Finger print sensor for...

Point ¹ Software issue (Win 7 Pro) Windows updates were not recent enough, took 5hrs to download & install, then found 42 had failed, tried so many options eventually plunged into restore (reboot & press F11, very quick to reload, but poor Win update...

Stylish and light design Quick start up time

Lack of disc drive Struggled with windows 10 download but may be the programme.
