HP EliteBook 845 G8 14-inch (2021) - Ryzen 5 PRO 5650U - 32GB - SSD 512 GB AZERTY - French

hello, the device was in super well-maintained condition and works perfectly, therefore 5 stars and - from these aspects everything is great and big thanks to backmarket :) what i would still like to get rid of is that these hp "elitebooks" are becoming less customisable from generation to generation when it comes to things like "free choice of operating system", variability of components such as ram or nvme's. bios crammed with security features, some of which block each other as soon as you just want to boot an os from usb stick, set up dualboot, expand ram or change ssd etc.. but it lacks the simplest features, such as allocating a little more vram. if you're toying with these ideas, you should urgently take a step back and look at other devices, e.g. the hp probooks. but this criticism explicitly concerns the hp product philosophy and not the backmarket.

It's a good laptop, but because it has w11 installed I think it's a bit heavy for it and a bit slow at times, maybe I'll install 10 soon. Its keyboard is buggy, it doesn't work with accents, I've tried everything

The HP Elitebook arrived in really good condition. Only one of the USB slots was slightly bent on the side of the casing, but this doesn't interfere with use. Otherwise, I couldn't find any faults or defects. After my iPhone, this was the second device I bought from Back Market. I have not regretted it so far!

The computer arrived in excellent condition cosmetically. I counted the battery and ssd and they are practically new. I bought it about 20 days ago and so far it's running pretty smoothly, good battery life. I don't know how it performs under stress because I do computationally light tasks, but for small things it's very smooth.

The laptop was fine physically, but the disk had been initialised in an MBR partition scheme, which prevented me from creating a partition to use for data. Logically I didn't reformat it because it came with Windows installed and I didn't want to lose it. I have bought several laptops and it had never happened to me. In the end I had to create a folder in which I redirected the folders for documents, images, videos and music, so that I could make saves easily, even though it was not "separated" from the system.

I think it's a very good purchase, it's the second time I've bought from Back Market and I've received very good products for refurbishment. Thank you!
