  1. An HP EliteBook 840 G5 I picked up from a thrift store (Value Village) and got a new battery for. I'm amused by the fact that anyone would ditch good hardware just because it "can't" run Microshaft's over bloated (A)ssholishly (I)ncompetent "operating system", this thing's a Hell of a catch! Installed Fedora and said goodbye to WinBLOWS forever!

  6. My new HP EliteBook 840 G5 Is startlingly good on Fedora. I picked up a new battery from eBay and installed it myself, and everything just works! Suspend and standby are lovely, the keyboard backlight seems to be independently managed from the OS so I don't love that, but everything else is great! I pulled the storage and RAM from my old Latitude and everything fit and works perfectly! I think I prefer my MacBook Pro's keyboard though.

  11. I got a HP Elitebook 840 G5 with a broken SSD. It seems to be a M.2 SATA version with 256 GB capacity. According to the manual it should support M.2 SATA drives with up to 256 GB (the option with the highest capacity then in 2018) and NVMe drives up to 1 TB.
    Is the 256 GB capacity limit for M.2 SATA drives a hard limit or can I buy a larger one and it'll work ?
    I know the advantage of the NVMe variants but I'm not sure whether these will fit on the board.

  19. I just ran a few comparisons between the MacBook Neo and my HP Elitebook. I‘d put both laptops in roughly the same overall category. They‘re both pretty cheap without dedicated graphics. Accepable performance for everyday applications.

    The HP does have more RAM and storage space, but its „Intel Ultra 5 135U“ processor is actually quite a bit slower than the MacBook‘s A18Pro chip, even for gaming. The HP will often turn on its system fan, which can be a bit annoying.

    Next to the MacBook, the Elitebook also feels way cheaper and is also thicker and heavier. Lots of plastic parts!

  21. Update: Habe heute mein altes #macbook zum Verschrotten bei #apple abgegeben und mein #hp #elitebook 835 G7 beim #dhl Paketshop abgeholt. #archlinux drauf, die hässlichen Sticker ab und mit meiner #nextcloud verbunden. Noch schnell alle nötigen Anwendungen für die Berufsschule drauf und fertig.
    #Windows hab ich nicht einmal gesehen, es hatte keine Chance zu booten.
    Allerdings wollte ich es gleich mal aufschrauben und... hab ne Schraube verloren 😅.
    Naja, die taucht schon wieder auf.

  25. Debian GNU/Linux on a HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14

    I have set up Debian GNU/Linux unstable (which will become Debian 14 Forky at some point in 2028) on a HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC. Many of these things will probably be valid for other AMD variants of this generation of the Elitebook and even the ZBook series.

    Hardware specifications

    These are the hardware specification of this particular system:

    AMD Ryzen AI 7 PRO […]

  33. I've been using a laptop this week with 16gb of ram and have been surprisingly fine. My other, main laptop has 64gb. Granted most of my workloads have moved to my desktop with 128gb.

    I didn't think there'd be that much of a difference between 8th and 11th gen Intel's, but it's definitely zippier. Not sure I'd ever be comfortable parting with my #thinkpad #T480. I sold my last one during the pandemic and missed it dearly.

    I also probably wouldn't have as much hesitation making this my main laptop if it was a ThinkPad, but it's an HP #EliteBook.

  38. HP EliteBook Ultra G1q Linux support under construction

    Another Copilot+ PC, HP EliteBook Ultra G1q, is getting initial support for Linux, but this support is under construction as it won’t be merged to Linux 6.15. However, a future version of Linux could have better support for this laptop as we see improvements.

    An HP EliteBook Ultra G1q contains a Snapdragon X Elite SoC to ensure that you have an AI powerhouse, complete with Microsoft’s Windows 11 and Copilot+ features that utilize AI. This AI laptop has a 14-inch screen to increase productivity. Furthermore, it uses ARM64 instead of the usual AMD64, which is expected from any Copilot+ PC.

    Canonical is trying to get Linux to work with this laptop, but the device tree was incomplete because there may be errors when specifying the device parameters in the DTSI file. Expect certain features, such as audio, not working with Linux at this point.

    However, in a future version of the Linux kernel, we’ll see more Copilot+ PCs, such as this one, being well supported. Right now, you can’t experience the full Linux desktop because there is no support for certain features, such as audio.

  44. Keep my Core i5-8250U w/64GB ram or migrate to my i5-10210U w/16GB ram?! May have an i5-11xxxU w/16GB ram soon to even replace that.

    Not sure if the newer/faster procs are better than having a reserve of RAM.
