Plenty of notebooks are available in the market and it is very hard to choose the perfect notebook for some people, a friend of mine went to the market to purchase a notebook for his office work and he get very confuse and at last he bought a notebook of which he is un-satisfied now. When I ask him, why he is un-satisfied now because you are the person who went and buy it, then he told me that “i just go to the market without any homework and because there were plenty of notebook of different types and specs so I got confuse and just bought what store staff suggest”, The notebook market is very vast now, as it provide wide range of options as well for user but chance to buying a un-desire performer notebook also raised a lot so just do some resech before going to stores is a good practice, today we are going to review HP EliteBook 820 G1 which again a new notebook in EliteBook series of HP so now let check it out.
The HP EliteBook 820 G1 is basically a 12.5-inch notebook but still a very decent size keyboard is available for users. The Chiclet keyboard has been used in HP EliteBooks and they used it in HP EliteBook 820 G1 as well but because of its 12.5-inch size, the special functions keys are removed to adjust the keyboard. The HP also provides the backlight for the users as well which is a good point for any notebook. The keys are good to use and they work very consistently as well. The perfect feedback and pressure points are the main plus point of the keyboard of HP EliteBook 820 G1. The touchpad is a perfect for any 12.5-inch notebook regarding size. The pad is a very nice touchpad for the users, it has very suitable surface for finger gliding as well as consistent performance. The click keys are separately available above and below the touchpad. The keys are also good to use. The TrackPoint between ‘G’, ‘H’ and ‘B’ keys is also very good to use and very accurate but most people do not use the TrackPoint so Overall HP EliteBook 820 G1 has good keyboard, touchpad and TrackPoint.
The notebooks that become hot after half-an hour or an hour of load are not very useful these days but not in the case of HP EliteBook 820 G1. It just not provide more comfort to take it with us everywhere but also remains cool, no matter what kind of work we do, the HP EliteBook 820 G1 remain very cool. The temperature in normal and load condition were within the comfort limits and it can be used on the lap easily. The HP EliteBook 820 G1 is perfect for noise sensitive people, the people who want their notebook to be quiet most of the time and remain less noisy under load. The HP EliteBook 820 G1 remains almost quiet during normal work. The noise ware pretty low under load. Overall HP EliteBook 820 G1 remains cool and quiet.
There are two speakers located just above the keyboard at the most suitable location. The max volume was pretty good but the sound quality has mountain flaws. The speakers produce tiny quality sound which is loud but useless to enjoy. The only thing to do with them is just to hear nonfiction sounds. Overall HP EliteBook 820 G1 has very poor speakers.
The HP EliteBook 820 G1 is a decent notebook for daily users especially the people who work inside the building i.e. offices, The HP EliteBook 820 G1 has 4th Gen Core i7 CPU and Intel HD 4400 integrated graphics which is pretty good combination for any office notebook, it has good keyboard, TrackPoint and touchpad as well. The SSD is raising the performance with high read/ write speeds and no worry of shock during walking to office. The HP EliteBook 820 G1 remains almost quiet and very cool in any situation. The Display screen and speakers of HP EliteBook 820 G1 are not good and the especially the speakers are almost useless. The HP EliteBook 820 G1 has good battery life. It’s a decent notebook but faces must difficulties in competition with competitors. I would not recommend this notebook for students and professionals who need best display screens and even for anybody who can afford this notebook can easily get a good notebook, much better than HP EliteBook 820 G1 within the same price.
