- Is the EliteBook 850 G6 still worth buying?
- For office work, spreadsheets and video calls, yes: 16 GB of RAM and the large screen hold up well. If you need long battery life or modern performance, a newer model is a better fit.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and SSD?
- Yes. The bottom cover comes off with a screwdriver, and both the memory and the M.2 SSD can be replaced. That makes it a practical machine to refresh rather than replace.
- How does it compare with the EliteBook 840?
- The 840 is the 14-inch version; the 850 gives you a larger 15.6-inch screen and often a numpad, at the cost of size and weight. Internals and build are otherwise closely related.
- Does it have USB-C and HDMI?
- Yes. It includes HDMI plus USB-C and USB-A ports, so you can connect a monitor or dock without adapters.
- Is it good for gaming or video editing?
- No. It uses integrated Intel graphics, so it suits office apps, browsing and light photo work, not games or heavy editing.
- What comes in the box?
- Typically the laptop and its power adapter. Check the listing for extras such as a dock or stylus, which are not standard.
