HP EliteBook 820 G4 (Z2V72ET) Notebook
- One of the fastest SSDs offered for this EliteBook.

What customers say about "Features"
HP EliteBook 820 G4 (Z2V72ET) Notebook
- Since it is a business notebook, the device delivers many security features as a matter of course.
- It comes with a Trusted Platform Module (2.0). Amazing for some security.
- There is a smartcard reader as well as a fingerprint reader for biometric access control. In addition, HP's security software is pre-installed.
- The smooth keys feature a short travel and a crisp pressure point. It's a joy to type on this keyboard.
- The web cam produces images with a maximum resolution of 1280x720 pixels. It is obvious that the images lack sharpness.
HP EliteBook 840 G4 (2TM97ES) Laptop
- HP implements numerous software tools and features to increase the security of the laptop.
- Well protected device with fingerprint scanner (swipe-style), TPM, SmartCard reader, and a slot for a Kensington lock.
- Very satisfied with the keyboard and even longer texts are no problem.
- It is unfortunately not an IPS screen but is based on TN technology, which was already the case for the previous model and was not the best.
- The individual keys are completely flat, makes typing uncomfortable.

- Three of USB ports is pretty decent for connecting things.

HP EliteBook 840 G4 (2TM97ES) Laptop
- The EliteBook 840 G3 was equipped with a modern USB-C jack.
- Happy, that it has both, DisplayPort and VGA ports.
- DP and VGA connectors are very important for office environments.
- Type-C is still just a "regular" USB 3.1 port without support for Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, or power supply.
- The port layout is not perfect, because they are at the center of the two sides.
