EliteBook 850 G2 business laptop

The HP EliteBook 850 G2 is a 15.6 inch business laptop built around a dual-core Intel Core i5-5300U processor running at 2.30 GHz with a 2.90 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 8 GB of DDR3 memory and a new 500 GB NVMe SSD. The Full HD display shows 1920 x 1080 resolution without touch input. No operating system is included, so the buyer must supply their own Windows or Linux installation.

Silver chassis with standard business ports

The silver chassis follows HP's established EliteBook design language for professional environments. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 drives the non-touch FHD panel for everyday productivity and video playback. Two memory slots are present with support for up to 16 GB total, allowing a straightforward RAM upgrade later. The M.2 NVMe drive provides fast boot and application loading compared with traditional hard drives. Standard wireless and wired connectivity handles typical office or remote-work scenarios.

Upgrade from older mechanical-drive laptops

This unit replaces ageing laptops that still rely on spinning hard drives and lower-resolution screens. The jump is worth it when you need quicker start-up, snappier multitasking on 8 GB of RAM, and a crisp 1080p panel for documents or conferencing. Buyers who want more storage than 500 GB or require a pre-installed operating system should look elsewhere. The 365 day parts and labour warranty covers the hardware after purchase.

Questions about this item

What speeds does the NVMe PCIe interface on the 500GB SSD support?

The M.2 NVMe PCIe drive uses a PCIe lane that tops out around 2.90 GHz equivalent throughput, so sequential reads hit the lane limit well before the 500GB capacity fills.

What physical slot does the 500GB M.2 NVMe drive occupy and what clearance is needed?

It sits in the single M.2 2280 slot under the bottom cover; the drive is 80 mm long and needs no extra bracket or caddy.

How is the OS installed on a machine that ships with no operating system?

Create a bootable USB installer for Windows or Linux, boot from it, and select the 500GB NVMe drive as the target — the step people miss is enabling UEFI boot mode in BIOS first.
