    Does anyone know if the battery can be replaced easily on these?

      It looks pretty easy: Page-40 > https://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c06413235.pdf

      Several screws on the bottom casing and the cover pops right off giving access to remove the battery (and replace other parts like RAM / SSD), no special tools needed and takes a few minutes. The battery model is BL04XL which can be purchased on various AU Ebay stores for approx $70.

      How much is new battery though

    • The Judge on 05/04/2024 - 20:40

      Yes it can. I bought one of these from Harris Tech late last year for about $380. Really great device, however it died when I tried to switch to tablet mode one night. HT are an absolute nightmare to deal with, I'm at the point where I'm threatening legal action to get a refund (came with a 1yr warranty). That aside, the HP G6 was a good device, but you may need to get some additional drivers to make the brightness & volume buttons work in Win11.

      If sd not working too to bios maybe disable

  • shabaka on 05/04/2024 - 20:23

    is that the one with built in privacy filter on the panel? it is horrible.

    • pizzaguy on 05/04/2024 - 20:33

      What makes it horrible? (As I don't know these laptops at all)

      • mouzii on 05/04/2024 - 22:29
        +5

        Some of these models included a feature called "SureView", which made the screen incredibly difficult to view unless you're sitting directly in front of the device. The aim is to prevent visual hacking (people peaking at your screen while you're using it on public transport, for example).

        The issue is the display panel that enables this feature isn't the greatest to work with. It drains battery life and viewing angles are horrible, even with the feature turned off. I'd avoid it, where possible. It doesn't look like this model includes SureView.

  • pizzaguy on 05/04/2024 - 20:32

    Refurbished, so with a brand new battery?

    Or only "refurbished"?

    • The Judge on 05/04/2024 - 20:44
      +1

      Refurb device, battery will be original, should be 70-90%. I got a "B grade" (it's flawless) Latitude 7400 2-in-1 from these guys recently and it still had >70% battery.

      • justtoreply on 05/04/2024 - 22:15
        +2

        The listing for the crapper condition unit states:
        The device may have BIOS Lock or have under 80% original battery. Products may have a faulty USB Port or ethernet port (laptop only). This does not affect the usability🤣

        There is no mention of battery etc on the"better" unit

        Edit: flickits link says minimum 80% is that's standard conditions. Someone ought to tell ACT that because clearly that's not what is in one of their listings

  • Ronney on 05/04/2024 - 20:37

    What is the battery health?

    • FLICKIT on 05/04/2024 - 20:48
      +2

      They're listed as refurbished so they're claiming 80+%, if it's less than that just send it back for a refund…
      https://pages.ebay.com.au/refurbished-program/#refurbished

      The last lappy I purchased from them was was claimed to be over 80%, it had a totally stuffed battery, 50%, so check as soon as you get it, it seems they don't really refurb what they sell…

  • The Judge on 05/04/2024 - 20:44

    1yr warranty too. I have nothing but good things to say about ACT, they are excellent.

      You must be lucky, I've purchased from them 4 times and had 4 issues, lol, never again..

      • The Judge on 05/04/2024 - 20:57

      I got one of these from ACT in a previous sale. Was meant to be A grade. Had 20% battery health sent it straight back for refund. Also later purchased a refurbed Dell laptop which was fine. Bit of a pig in a poke with these guys, don't think there is much QC.

    Thanks OP , Just grabbed one as well ! Great specs for the price . From what I am reading, all the Elitebook series have premium backlit keyboard, It's a must for me for any notebook.

      Can confirm the keyboard & overall build quality is top notch, it's all aluminium with (Harmon Kardon?) speakers, not super loud but good fidelity.

      • mouzii on 05/04/2024 - 22:30

        Bang & Olufsen speakers actually (or at least tuned by Bang & Olufsen).

        • The Judge on 06/04/2024 - 10:22

          Ahh cheers, knew it was an upscale brand.

  • bashar20 on 05/04/2024 - 21:48

    i7-8665U is a potential problem. It tends to overheat in slim laptops and perform worst than the i5-8xxx series due to throttling. I am not sure if it affects this specific model.

  • punky on 05/04/2024 - 21:52

    Used this model in my previous job and highly recommend it. The all-metal feels durable and premium.

  • bazzazz on 05/04/2024 - 22:02

    Anyone know if there is an Easy way to check battery health quickly on these notebooks ?

    Be aware that the hinges can break behind the screen pushing the screen apart.
    Pretty much impossible to fix without breaking the LCD.

    The hinge itself doesn't break but the mount behind the LCD cracks.

      Very common. Enough so I would avoid these, unless you are very gentle on it, even then may still happen.

  • auskeek on 09/04/2024 - 17:52

    Just bought this. Dumb question that I couldn't find on Google. What is a External Nano SIM slot for WWAN? Does it allow me to stick a SIM in and get LTE?

    • bazzazz on 09/04/2024 - 18:17

      Good question, , Just from a short search I was able to verify that it does actually have a Sim card slot on the left side of the laptop. This is an awesome inclusion and if it works well does away with the big ugly USB and extra wifi dongles.

      • bfg100k on 09/04/2024 - 23:57

        Physical slot for sim exists but doubt it has the WWAN module. Says in listing cables not included.

        • AssociatedCalmago @ Australian Computer Traders on 10/04/2024 - 09:28

          Current batch has LTE

  • MT2010 on 09/04/2024 - 19:25

    make sure it is not BIOS locked or check if it is still domain locked - errors do happen.

  • Vince12 on 09/04/2024 - 20:27

    • bfg100k on 09/04/2024 - 23:53

      Apple vs orange comparison mate. This has a touchscreen (and brighter), double the RAM and is a i7. Also there were less than 100 units of the Dell for sale vs 500 of the HP

  • bazzazz on 09/04/2024 - 23:28

    Anyone know of any good deals for Storage upgrade as 256gb may not be sufficient for me .

      Would this be justification enough to return?

    • Fybre on 11/04/2024 - 11:32

      Mine too. It's really terrible

  • Fangoski on 10/04/2024 - 11:38

    Does anyone know if this is Windows 11 Professional?

  • jisbetterthanj on 10/04/2024 - 18:30

    Why is this so heavy? (ctrl+f tags: weight kg light 1.35 kg 1.35kg 1kg)

    Is it just the 13 Wh difference? Is it it's age? Touchscreen,Bendy-ness?

    Work bought me the HP Pavilion Aero 13 R5-7535U and I quite like it (worst feature is low capacity 43Wh 3-cell battery, and the same horrid arrow key layout)\

    Edit:
    OK yeah it's slightly bigger and has a significant battery bump, and presumably the fans/vents a touch bigger.

    What I'm looking for:
    Small form factor, relatively low weight, but good battery laptop on Linux. For light gaming/high graphical workloads I think AMD from 2019-21 (refurbished era) probably wins out on Linux, but then thunderbolt / I/O may not have been as good?

    Might be hard to beat this, but I have noticed generally linux laptops run higher thermals than Windows, and there are some comments about heat on here

  • Fybre on 11/04/2024 - 12:36

    Anyone else find there is some "give" in the hinge for the screen? ie the hinge makes the screen move back and forth a bit? I don't know if this is considered to be normal or not

    • jjoker on 11/04/2024 - 13:18

      The one i have does it as well. Unsure if its normal. Its not there on a x360 1030 I had from work though

    • Ebaygiftcards on 12/04/2024 - 12:52

      That’s exactly the same issue with mine as well. It’s definitely not ‘very good’ condition!!

    • MT2010 on 13/04/2024 - 07:24

      Mine came with a missing sim tray, usb ports dusty, deep scratches in the back panel, will try to request for a replacement. definately not the quality expected

      • Ebaygiftcards on 14/04/2024 - 16:45

        My speakers also crackles really badly when playing anything (system sound, YouTube etc)

  • bazzazz on 12/04/2024 - 21:21

    I am looking to upgrade the storage up to poss 2tb. Anyone Know if there is any benefit in going to a PCIE 4 nVme M.2 as the current 256gb SSD s a PCIe Gen 3 nvme.
    Also would appreciate if anyone has any ideas as to best option in choosing one. I won't be doing any gaming or doing anything too intensive but a little video and photo editing and would likely be doing a lot of large file transfers.

  • Fybre on 13/04/2024 - 10:23

    My advice if any of these come up again, is to avoid it. Not because of the seller or the condition (although with the scratches and marks on the case I wouldn't classify it as 'A' condition) but the screen is simply terrible. The privacy screen is really bad, if I had known what it is like I wouldn't have bought it.

    • auskeek on 13/04/2024 - 12:57

      It sounds like everyone is getting the Sure View model, has anyone gotten one without?

  • ThePromisedJuan on 13/04/2024 - 19:12
    +1

    I got mine 2 days ago. Seems like the problems are consistent with the comments here.

    1. The god-awful screen with horrible viewing angles unless you sit with a neck brace directly in front of it. Horrible.
    2. The back and bottom are scratched up.
    3. Sim tray is missing.
    4. Gets uncomfortably hot on normal usage/browsing etc.
    5. The hinges have a significant "give" to them, like mentioned in the comments already.

    Definitely returning this.

    • Fybre on 13/04/2024 - 21:24

      how do we go about returning them?

    • Ebaygiftcards on 14/04/2024 - 17:18

      Baffles me how they could classify these as ‘very good’ when it clearly isn’t. Doesn’t even comply with eBay’s refurb policy definition of ‘very good’ condition.

  • bazzazz on 13/04/2024 - 21:49
    +2

    I feel for anyone who got a banged up unit , Hope you get it swapped with a better one. On the other hand really happy with mine. I really don't mind the screen , Yes it would have been better to have a non Privacy screen but , I am really not fussed , I found the screen images clear and sharp enough for a $340 notebook with so many features and an awesome form factor . After all the privacy screen does what it's supposed to pretty well. The inbuilt LTE slot is awesome. The backlit keyboard , the B&O speakers and the lightweight aluminium finish is top notch as someone mentioned .
    The only thing is that the charger on my refuses to work ..I have emailed them about this . but currently using a gan charger which works perfectly fine . So all in all for what I paid I am pretty happy.
    Btw , My battery health was at 84% . After about 1 hour of use and seems to have improved with more use . It's currently at 86% with 211 cycles.
    Would be interesting to see some other figures of other machines .

  • Shadowsfury on 15/04/2024 - 12:44
    +1

    Got mine late last week
    - 89%, 329 cycles
    - Hinge has a lot of give like others report
    - Screen is the sureview type
    - Hardly any scratches and all ports seem to be working

    Overall though and the very limited usage case I have for it - am happy with it

    One issue I did have though was possibly related to the the sheer number of windows updates and feature updates - when like 90% of them were installed and there were only a few left, laptop started acting funny - i.e. would crash back to BIOS on its own, shortly after starting up. Various repair and diagnostic option I'm offered when restarting all fail (startup repair, automatic repair, no restore points, rollback updates). I left it a over the weekend to try again today and same things were occurring.

    Finally got back into Windows before lunch and installed the last few updates and it has been stable since then - so trying to keep it on and doing random things with it to see how stable it is now - hopefully all good at this point and thus no need to return.

    • Shadowsfury on 18/04/2024 - 15:07

      Unfortunately looks like its still not stable - I thought it was with some basic office tasks, but tried stress testing it a little (barely - just running Spotify and a Youtube video) and it crashed again after 5 mins.

      Going to have to raise a return I think which is unfortunate.

  • auskeek on 16/04/2024 - 00:16

    Got mine today
    84% battery life with 360 cycles
    No issues with hinge
    Sure View screen, has some dead pixels on the right side
    Good external quality, ports are working.

    Reasonably happy with it.

    • auskeek on 16/04/2024 - 22:45

      It's hard to explain how bad the screen is. It's too bright and too dark at the same time. Definitely painful on the eyes when using it in the dark, but butter using it in a lit environment.

  • kierand on 16/04/2024 - 10:49

    Got mine last week and reasonably happy with it.
    Don't have an issue with the privacy screen - turned that off and it's fine for me.
    91% battery life with 350 cycles.
    Only negatives are the excess play in the hinge and a small dent in the aluminum under the screen like it's been closed with something stuck between the body and the screen.

  • Ronney on 17/04/2024 - 00:10

    Why would one buy this over a Lenovo T490s listed here for almost $30 less? I ordered two T490s laptops and they were in almost perfect condition and the battery was over 85% and only 20+ cycles.

    • bfg100k on 17/04/2024 - 10:54
      +3

      i7 vs i5, Wifi AX vs AC, 1yr warranty vs 3mths. Condition of used laptop is luck of draw. I bought 2, one with hardly any scratches and battery at 98% (55 cycles), the other with a tiny ding on chassis below keyboard, quite a few light scratches on the bottom, battery at 87% (267 cycles!). I would say both deals (i.e. the HP and Lenovo) are worth their price tag so its down to buyer's preference.

      • bazzazz on 17/04/2024 - 11:13

        Agreed , also I think the build quality and esthetics of the HP is much better than of the Lenovo .

        • bfg100k on 17/04/2024 - 11:20

          other than the annoying play in the hinge! (both of mine have them!)

        • Ronney on 17/04/2024 - 12:05

          @bazzazz I agree that the aesthetics of this laptop is better than the Lenovo but I will not applaud the build quality given the hinge issue. The hinge issue kept me away from buying it.

      • Ronney on 17/04/2024 - 11:58

        Thanks @bfg100k.

  • auskeek on 28/04/2024 - 23:16

    I dropped the laptop off at a Hubbed Return Centre last week but still hasn't moved at all. Feel anxious sending something so expensive back, but definitely not useable long term… Has anyone had progress with their return yet?
