HP EliteBook 850 G2 laptop i5-5300U 8GB 240GB NVMe No OS

Built for office mobility

The HP EliteBook 850 G2 is a 15.6-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-5300U dual-core processor running at 2.30 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.90 GHz. It comes with 8GB of DDR3 memory and a new 240GB M.2 NVMe PCIe solid-state drive. The system ships without an operating system, so the buyer must supply and install their own Windows or Linux environment.

Capacity and headroom

The 240GB NVMe drive provides fast boot and application loading for a core set of productivity tools and local files. The 8GB of DDR3 RAM handles typical multitasking with web browsers, document editors and email clients. Memory can be expanded to a maximum of 16 GB across two slots for heavier workloads. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 drives the 1366 x 768 HD display but is not suited for gaming, video editing or GPU-accelerated rendering.

Thermals, noise and power draw

The ultra-low-voltage i5-5300U processor keeps heat output modest during normal office use, allowing the cooling fan to remain quiet or idle much of the time. Under sustained load the fan spins up audibly but stays within typical business-laptop acoustics. Power consumption stays low thanks to the efficient CPU and solid-state storage, delivering solid battery life for mobile work sessions.
