Reviews for the HP Elitebook 745 G2

82% HP EliteBook 745 G2 Notebook Review | Notebookcheck
Kaveri for business. A price of approximately 900 Euros (~$1166) should make HP's newest 14-inch business laptop appealing. The company ships a slim, elegant casing fused with multiple business features and good input devices for this price. The laptop is powered by a new Kaveri APU from AMD. Unfortunately, the screen is again one of the biggest shortcomings, like in many other laptops.

Positive: Decent autonomy; exemplary performance; good touchpad and keyboard; monolithic and durable look; fairly loud and clear speakers. Negative: Low contrast and brightness, viewing angles are unstable, "lame" color reproduction.

Comment

AMD Radeon R6 (Kaveri): Integrated GPU on select AMD Kaveri APUs. Based on the GCN architecture with 384 shader units and a core clock up to 654 MHz.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

82%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
