HP EliteBook 850 G2 15.6" FHD Laptop

The HP EliteBook 850 G2 is a 15.6-inch full-HD laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-5300U dual-core processor running at 2.30 GHz with a 2.90 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 8GB of DDR3 memory and a new 2TB 2.5-inch SATA SSD, running Windows 10 Home 64-bit. The system supports up to 16 GB of memory across two slots. It suits professionals needing a reliable business machine for office applications, web browsing and video conferencing with the integrated webcam.

Build and connectivity for daily use

The silver chassis houses a non-touch 1920 x 1080 display driven by Intel HD Graphics 5500. The 2.5-inch SATA SSD provides ample internal storage without a secondary hard drive. Bluetooth is included for wireless peripherals, and the webcam supports remote meetings. The two memory slots allow future upgrades to the 16 GB maximum. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed, with a Windows 11 Pro upgrade path noted by the supplier.

Check your requirements before ordering

Verify that the dual-core i5-5300U and integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 meet the performance needs of your workload, as this is not a workstation-class GPU. Confirm that 8GB of DDR3 memory is sufficient out of the box, noting the 16 GB ceiling if you plan to expand. Ensure Windows 10 Home covers your software licensing requirements, and that the 15.6-inch form factor fits your mobility expectations. The 365-day parts and labour warranty is provided by the supplier.

Questions about this item

What SATA speed does the 2.5" 2TB SSD run at, and what real-world throughput does that cap?

The 2.5" SSD uses a SATA interface limited to 6 Gbit/s, so sequential reads and writes top out around 550 MB/s in practice.

What chassis clearance and screw pattern does the 2.5" drive bay require for the 2TB SSD?

The bay accepts a standard 2.5" 7 mm SATA drive secured by the laptop's internal caddy screws; no adapter or spacer is needed.

How is the 2TB SATA SSD installed, and which step do owners often skip?

Remove the bottom cover, slide the drive into the caddy, connect the SATA connector, then re-seat the caddy screws — many forget to lock the connector latch fully.
