Business laptop for everyday work

The HP EliteBook 850 G2 is a 15.6" HD laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-5200U dual-core processor running at 2.20 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.70 GHz. It comes with 8GB DDR3 memory and a new 1TB SSD 2.5" SATA drive. The 1366 x 768 non-touch display and Intel HD Graphics 5500 handle standard office applications and web browsing. No operating system is installed.

Cooling and power in typical use

The ultra-low-voltage processor keeps heat output modest during document editing, email and video playback. Fan noise stays low in a quiet office and the 15 W class CPU helps extend battery runtime on the integrated pack. The SSD produces no mechanical vibration and draws less power than a traditional hard drive.

Behaviour under sustained load

During extended compiles, large spreadsheet recalculations or long video conferences the dual-core CPU maintains its turbo frequency until thermal limits are reached, then throttles gradually. The 8GB memory ceiling and 16 GB maximum supported RAM limit multitasking headroom for heavy workloads. Integrated graphics share system memory, so sustained 3D tasks reduce available RAM for applications. Buyers who need discrete graphics or more than 16 GB RAM should consider other platforms.

Questions about this item

How do I install the operating system on this EliteBook 850 G2, and what step is often missed?

Create bootable media on another PC, boot from USB, then install drivers from the HP support site for the i5-5200U and Intel HD Graphics 5500; the step often missed is installing the chipset and graphics drivers before Windows Update runs.

What maintenance or replacement will the 8GB DDR3 memory and 1TB SSD need later?

The DDR3 memory can be expanded to 16 GB using the second slot; the 2.5" SATA SSD has no moving parts but should be monitored for wear and replaced if health drops below safe levels.

What limit appears first under sustained load on the i5-5200U with Intel HD Graphics 5500?

The dual-core 2.20 GHz processor with 2.70 GHz turbo will hit thermal throttling before the integrated graphics becomes the bottleneck during prolonged heavy workloads.
