Elite
Book is the name of HP"s premium-range laptops with a correspondingly premium price. Our HP Elite
Book 1040 G1 (H5F62ET) nhận xét sample - a lightweight 1.5 kilogam (~3.3 pounds), 14 incher with a (non-touch) screen resolution of 1600x900 pixels- is no exception here.At 2000 Euros(~$2749), the steep price boosts it into direct competition with the flagship models of other manufacturers. Up khổng lồ now, it is proclaimed khổng lồ be the thinnest ultrabookthat HP has to lớn offerwith a height of just15.9 milimet (~0.6 inches), và is fully tailored to fit the needs placed on themobile business fieldwith its numerous security features. An
Intel vi xử lý core i5-4200U(2x 1.6 - 2.6 GHz, Hyperthreading, TDP: 15 W, Haswell) alongside the integrated
Intel HD 4400graphics is under the hood, & is supported by 4 GB of RAM. The storage device is a 180 GB SSD from Intel.

Thoughother versionsof the 1040 G1 exist, HP has not yet aggressively advertised them; they also only had a limited availability in our region at the time of this review. During an extensive price comparison, we discovered other models (H5F64EA, H5F63ET, F1N34EA) featuring the same equipment but with a 256 or 128 GB SSD and/or Full HD screen (IPS? Touch?). A marginally faster
Intel vi xử lý core i5-4300U(2x 1.9 - 2.9 GHz, TDP: 15 W) và 1920x1080 px screen makes the F4X88AW version something special; we did not ascertain any other differences compared with the đánh giá sample.

We chose two ultrabooks also with a 14-inch screen size that are within the same price range for comparison. The first is
Lenovo"s Think
Pad X1 Carbon cảm ứng 20A8-003UGEwith a potentially stronger
Intel bộ vi xử lý core i7-4600U(2x 2.1 - 3.3 GHz, TDP: 15 W), which comes from Intel"s current Haswell generation, lượt thích the CPU in our đánh giá sample, 8 GB of RAM và a 240 GB SSD. Other differences are its IPS touchscreen with a QHD resolution, and its spectacularcarbon casing. The second comparison device also comes from Lenovo, who puts special focus on business laptops. The Think
Pad T440s 20AQ0069GEsports the same CPU & storage equipment as the X1 Carbon, but its non-touch screen relies on the Full HD resolution. Both Lenovos have matte displays (via a film in the Carbon). A 250 GB Samsung SSD is the storage device in the T440s.

Simple elegance, paired with high-quality looking materials, low weight, a height of just 15.9 mm (~0.6 inches), and an absolutely immaculate build is how HP presents the reviews sample"s casing. Allover metallic surfaces, in matte, neutral silver dominate the exterior; only the lightlyrubber-coated undersidefor better grip, the matte display bezel with a protruding edge & hinge, and the keys are black. Positive: The casing mostly resists fingerprints, and thus usually looks immaculate.

Rounded corners, effectively deburred edges và details, such as the lowered area in front of the touchpad on the base & theappealing, successful integration of the wireless & mute keys, show that the designers and engineers have put great effort in the casing. However, the Elite
Book looks sobasicthat it cannot really be said to lớn have its own form language. Instead, HP apparently wants to suit everyone"s taste, which is particularly seen in the silver and black color combination popular among the gentlemen. What"s more, the stylish và representative, though also slightly characterless casing offers exactly theunderstatementthat many business users want from their machine.

The thin lid proved khổng lồ be quite pliable although its back is fairly pressure resistant. In return, the base could not be warpedeven using high force, và our attempts did not cause any noises. It is just possible to mở cửa the device with one hand. Although the hinges have a firm grip on the lid, it unfortunately clearly wobbles in jerky situations, such as in the car or on the train.

Although
Lenovo"s X1 Carbonis almost 100 grams lighter (total ~3.1 lbs) than our Elite
Book"s 1.5 kilogam (~3.3 lbs), it is 4 mm (~0.16 inches) thicker. The
Think
Pad T440sis defeated in the race for best portability with its 1.7 kg (~3.75 lbs) và 20.7 milimet (~0.8 inches) height.

As a final note, HP also touts therobustnessof its slim business device with the following words: "The HP Elite
Book Folio 1040 passes MIL-STD 810G15 testing for drop, functional shock, vibration, dust, humidity, altitude, high & low temperature, & temperature shock." As can be readhere, this does not necessarily mean anything though.

The connectivity is limited due to the slim and light build, và the manufacturer cannot be blamed. There are only 2 USB 3.0 ports; the Elite
Book only supports SD cards in themicro-SDformat, and users who want to lớn connect an HDMI device will have khổng lồ use a Display
Port-HDMI adapter or a corresponding cable. That is available for less than ten Euros (~$14) in retail, và is not included for incomprehensible reasons. In return, an adapter that is connected to lớn thedocking portat the right back is included. It adds aVGAout và an Ethernet port for cabled LAN, which is still important in the business field. Although the interface positioning is not ideal, HP has tried to lớn place them in the back area where cords và peripherals lượt thích USB flash drives are not as impairing. ASmart
Cardslot is located at the far left front, and underlines the business claim.

Communication

In addition to lớn Gigabit LAN that can only be accessed via the included adapter, our HP Elite
Book also communicates in wireless networks. To lớn be more precise, viaIntel"s Dual Band Wireless-N 7260Wi-Fi module (support) that also transmits in the still less busy5 GHZfrequency range besides the 2.4 GHz band that is frequently overloaded in office buildings, airports và city centers. The target group will certainly appreciate this. The module also supports công nghệ bluetooth 4.0. The additionally installed broadband modem withHDSPA+is just as boosting for portability, and simply a matter of course here. Unfortunately, we could not kiểm tra it for the lack of a micro-SIM card.

We can confirm that HP"s Elite
Book Folio 1040 G1 hadexcellent Wi-Fi reception qualitiesin the author"s personal chạy thử setup. The connection has not yet been stably maintainedwith acceptable data ratesby another máy tính xách tay over a comparable distance. A constant rate of approximately 1 MB per second was achieved even over three stories of an apartment building through several walls & ceilings when the router was located on the opposite side of the building. That is remarkable.

Security

In this device, HP puts high value and clear focus ondata security, which is very crucial for business users. Software called
HP Client Securityis pre-loaded for this, và enables configuring the following security features:HP Spare Key(additional password for logging in), hard drive encryption, data destruction, fingerprint reader, and protection against unauthorized access to lớn connected removable media. Of course, aTPM chipversion 1.2 is installed for this purpose.

A feature dubbed
HP Sure Startoffers self-healing in case the BIOs is attacked or damaged in another way. Again, the purpose is to keep expensivedowntimesas short as possible. HP Trust Circles is to lớn facilitate authorizing specific users for accessing sensitive data.

Accessories

In addition to lớn the adapter described under "Connectivity", recovery and installation truyền thông media for both Windows 7 Professional andWindows 8.1 Proare in the box.

The only noteworthy accessory that HP offers on itshomepageis adocking stationthat adds the following ports: 2 Display
Ports, 1 VGA, Ethernet, line-in, line-out, & 4 USB 3.0 ports.

Maintenance

DIY maintenance can only be performed if the user is willing to lớn give up any warranty & guarantee claims. There are no maintenance covers, and the innards are guarded by tenTorx screwsthat secure the base"s underside. Thus, the user is dependent on HP"s likely not exactly inexpensive customer service even for simply swapping the battery. This restriction is anything but exemplary even from anenvironmentalpoint of view.

Warranty

Besides the compulsory statutory retailer warranty, HP includes a three-year manufacturer"s warranty. As usual, it can be upgraded for a charge via so-calledCare Packs. For example, a three-year international on-site service for the next business day costs 170 Euros (~$234). That is not cheap, but will likely be welcomed by the target group becausereducing downtimesis an important aspect for many business users.

Keyboard

The island-style keyboard does not comply with the standard layout. A few keys, such as POS1 và END, have been moved khổng lồ the right. However, we quickly got used to lớn that. It is too bad that the shift và CRTL keys in the lower left only feature standard-size. The very good keyboard backlightis activated when a key is pressed or the touchpad is stroked. It is of course possible to deactivate this via a shortcut.

We would have appreciated a slightly crisperpressure pointfrom the flat và lightly rubber-coated keys. In return, the stroke is slightly cushioned, which can prevent fatigue when typing longer texts, & leads khổng lồ a veryrestrained noise level. The drop length is average for this kind of keyboard. The keyboard does not yield a millimeter even when high pressure is used.

Touchpad

An extremely sleekSynaptics Force
Padis installed. It is implemented as one single surface that can only be pressed marginally & that does not produce any kind of palpable or audible feedback when doing so. The driver does this, và emits a click-noise over the speakers when the Force
Pad is pressed with higher pressure. The click volume is adjustable. How much force has lớn be applied before a click is detected can be phối in the driver (Smart
Sense). Although the tester managed quite well after a while of familiarization, some users will prefer a conventional touchpad or Click
Pad with palpable feedback.

The Force
Pad does not respond to lớn touch at its outer edges. Otherwise, common gestures with up to three fingers are reliably detected, and theaccuracyis good. The configuration options are limited, but the most important settings are available.

As mentioned in the intro, HP did not hesitate installing aTN screenfrom đưa ra Mei in a device of this price range. At least it ismatte, and features a very nice resolution of 1600x900 pixels (16:9) for 13.3 và 14-inch screens. This leads lớn a px density of 131 ppi, và the image sharpness is immaculate.

Otherwise, the TN screen struggles with the typical problems of this technology, such asviewing angle dependencyand poor contrasts. However, the author believes that the screen in the nhận xét sample fares better than that of many TN-based contenders. The usual milky image impression sets in when looking from above, & a kind of inverting effect is seen soon when looking from below. However, the deterioration is limited lớn a loss in contrast & brightness while màu sắc reproduction remains largely unaffected from the sides.

Our review sample cannot at all compete with the higher resolution, IPS-based screens of
Lenovo"s X1 Carbonor
Lenovo"s T440s. As can be seen in the chart below, the Elite
Book just misses first place in the less than decisive accuracy of the gamma rate in this comparison field. In return, the illumination is very homogeneous. We did not observe any bright spots or screen bleeding.
