    These are great units Bio Security QLD use these spec machines before they were replaced with 11th gen I5s only see one unit faulty at my workplace so pretty reliable and tough

      Why is that, wouldn't a bigger screen be better if you're old?

      • M00Cow on 20/07/2022 - 10:19

        Because it's light. My oldies have a 24" screen to plug in if they want. But they like it being light so they can carry it around. HP are usually solid units.

        The advantage being old, if.you get your cataracts done, your eyesight is close to perfect. :-)

    I was about to buy a macbook pro but im heading to Europe for a month and will have to take my laptop to study while im there. Not sure if I should spend over 2k on a laptop (even though im going to get really good insurance to cover it) When I can spend $400-$500 on a laptop like this im not super worried about if it gets damaged, lost etc.

    • adinico on 20/07/2022 - 09:39
      +2

      I can't see how a $2k device + insurance would help you study better vs a $400-500 device - insurance, but if you have disposable income, it's a moot point.

      Get a cheapy. Having an expensive bit of kit whilst travelling= something else to worry about. Plus nobody will bother stealing a beat up old HP :)

      The only exception is if you need to work without power, you'll get a few hours from one of these on battery, ~18 hours from a new MacBook.

    • M00Cow on 20/07/2022 - 10:36
      +2

      Are you travelling about or mostly staying put?
      A MacBook is highly desirable, and theft in European tourist areas is quite common.

      It's not just the device theft, but what about losing your work? (Make sure it's backed up) and the ability to keep working afterwards (i.e. can you get the software installed again?

      But the battery life is lovely on a MacBook

      • mavis30551 on 20/07/2022 - 11:06

        Travelling quite a lot. I also want the GST return when travelling which is worth nearly $300.
        Might just have to be consciouse and keep it well looked after. Like I said ill defintely get insurance.

        Good Points though. Might back everything up on a USB and update to the cloud regularly as well.

    • jcon on 20/07/2022 - 11:16

      Buy this one. Take it on tour. Sell it for $300+ when you get back. Cost of studying in Europe works out to $25 per week, for a unit you're not going to be worried over.

      If it says GST amount on the invoice then you would get it.

      Make sure it is in your personal name and no mention of business name on it. I got something sent to work as personal name "c/o company / address" and TRS wasn't happy.

    What is the screen resolution?

    • Hangryuman on 20/07/2022 - 12:57

      seems to be FullHD 1920x1080 - https://support.hp.com/au-en/document/c05898590#AbT4

      I have read of other HP, maybe G6, that look cheap refurbished - but I saw original new reviews saying 'disappointing screen' - like poor colour rendering, poor visibility from an angle, or brightness outdoors, or such

      which may be why the screen display is not mentioned topline for this 'deal'

      on closer reading - fine print below the headline says '13.3" FHD Antiglare LED UWVA screen' - Ultra Wide Viewing Angle ?

      • Sean8802 on 20/07/2022 - 19:02

        The 830 g5 and g6 share the same chassis. The build is identical, only difference is the CPU.

      • coxymla on 20/07/2022 - 21:43

        Some HPs have a stupid "privacy" screen that looks like ass.

        • Sean8802 on 20/07/2022 - 23:00

          The highest speced model of the HP business laptops have the privacy screen which can be toggled on and off when needed. However under office lights at the right angle if light hits the display and it isn't anti glare the screen can have a rainbow affect which is off putting. However most people in offices connect it to a dock with external screens anyway. The privacy screen is really only when you're out in public. Anyways this listed 830 g5 definitely won't have a privacy screen for $400

      • inherentchoice on 21/07/2022 - 08:46

        Thanks. I overlooked the FHD bit.

  • Mr Frodo on 20/07/2022 - 11:09

    To me the Dell (listed by OP) seems to be a good laptop for under $300 but I have not much idea about computers. Could someone please tell me that it is enough for normal work purposes - use of MS suite and running of some VBA macros - nothing too heavy? 128GB should be enough space for me.

    Oh and would this have USB C charging? How do I look for that in laptops online?

    • jcon on 20/07/2022 - 11:21
      +3

      Do not buy the dell.
      To keep it simple, you want the CPU to be an 'i5' and a model which is a four-digit number starting with an '8' or higher.

      Pay the extra hundred bucks to buy the listed HP Elitebook 830 G5 (i5 8350u). It's absolutely worth paying that little bit more in this case.

      • hugamuga on 20/07/2022 - 13:02
        +1

        I am not sure I completely agree with this, the dell has a 1440p screen which is a pretty damn nice feature in a $300 laptop. the trade off is the laptop is 2 generations older and will have worse performance, but my laptop has an i5 5200u and have never felt particularly limited in performance for basic work uses.

        I just saw that the dell is also touchscreen, honestly I think its the best option there as long as you are not expecting massive longevity

        • tpopi on 20/07/2022 - 15:28
          +1

          Also, HP has 8th Intel CPU so supports Windows 11, if you care about that - Dell one mentioned does not support Win11

        • coxymla on 20/07/2022 - 21:45

          I very much doubt that the Dell actually has a 1440p screen. It's probably a c/p error by the seller. (Most likely copied the specs from the HDMI port.)

    • netjock on 20/07/2022 - 11:30
      +3

      enough for normal work purposes - use of MS suite and running of some VBA macros - nothing too heavy

      2 core i5-6xxx series is enough for general work. Just get 8GB ram or more. I have a Lenovo x270 which is same CPU. If you are not using it for intensive work the 2 core (4 threads) is okay.

      • CyberMurning on 20/07/2022 - 11:46

        +2

        Quite a gulf between those two options. It would be nice to get the 400 cd/m2 one but I suspect if that was what was in these refurbs then they'd list it in the spec.

    These are decent machines. Used these as daily drivers while working in a few financial firms. They handle Office and Browsers apps fine. Upping the RAM to 16 GB would be the main upgrade if anything. Battery should be in the 1-3 hour range by now but if usually used plugged in not really an issue. As mentioned earlier just fine for travel computer and can handle the streaming services without a hiccup (Netflix, etc.).

    Even with gaming it'll be 1080p and games in the 2015-2017 year or earlier.

    If newbie to upgrading the main thing is to just take your time and watch a video on YouTube about dismantling. Take note of unplugged cables and how they're placed. RAM upgrade should be fairly easy. As it is 8th Gen Intel it does officially support and upgrade to Windows 11 and it should be free based on the already installed Win10.

  • nick90 on 20/07/2022 - 15:44

    How do these modern Elitebook hold up. Personally, I never had any good luck with HP with reliability. Moreover, I always found getting drivers for HP are a pain compared to a Lenovo or Dell.

  • goose25 on 20/07/2022 - 16:38

    I'm using one of these as a company laptop, and for relatively simple tasks (spreadsheets, email, looking at sales reports and delivering presentations) it's a fantastic machine. Battery still lasts me 7 hours or so, it's lightweight, the screen is nice and it's plenty fast enough. Highly recommend.

        Good luck with your T480s left hinge snapping away from the display rear cover, both might snap if you're lucky. I used to repair these laptops in Brisbane City about 2 years ago. I probably did 100 or more in about 12 months for hinges issues on that model. It's a shame apart from the hinge issue it is a great laptop.

      The Dell has a SATA SSD while this has an NVMe SSD, which is way faster.

      Can’t comment on anything else (materials, durability, keyboard, display, etc)

      But it would be an interesting comparison between elitebooks, latitudes, and thinkpads rocking same specs.

    I was seconds away from buying before realising this was out of stock. I can see a bunch of laptops at a similar price range, but am far too useless to understand all the connotations of different brands, memory types, processors etc.

    Can anyone recommend a laptop with similar or better specs for a similar price from here - https://www.ebay.com.au/str/smgaus ? It would be primarily be used for browsing, word processing, typical office stuff and if it can be decent enough to play the occasional game even better.
