A face recognition webcam and fingerprint reader give you two ways to skip typing passwords with Windows Hello. Display bezels are thin-HP claims an 89% screen-to-body ratio-and the lid opens almost completely 180 degrees, though its size makes it tricky to open with one hand. There's a bit of flex if you grasp the screen corners, but none if you press the keyboard deck. It's no ultraportable at 0.76 by 14.1 by 9.9 inches (HWD), but a bit trimmer than the Asus ProArt Studiobook 16 OLED (0.77 by 14.3 by 10.4 inches) and noticeably lighter (3.9 versus 5.3 pounds). Replacing the 15.6-inch EliteBook 855 G8, the 865 G9 features aluminum and magnesium construction that's passed MIL-STD 810H torture tests against road hazards like shock, vibration, and temperature extremes. If you want an 865 with a sharper 4K or brilliant OLED screen, you're out of luck. There's another display option with HP's Sure View Reflect built-in privacy filter, but all three panels share the same 16:10 aspect ratio, IPS technology, and 1,920-by-1,200-pixel resolution. Memory and storage can be expanded to 64GB and 2TB, respectively. Our $2,189 review unit raises the stakes with an eight-core, 2.7GHz (4.7GHz turbo) Ryzen U chip, a 512GB SSD, a brighter 400-nit, low-blue-light screen, a backlit keyboard, a larger battery, and Wi-Fi 6E, plus 4G LTE connectivity. The $1,554 baseline EliteBook 865 G9 has a six-core AMD Ryzen 5 6600U processor, a dim, 250-nit non-touch display, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB NVMe solid-state drive, and Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth radios. We wish it offered a high-resolution or OLED screen option, which would've made it a shoo-in for our Editors' Choice award. What you may not know is that this 16-inch desktop replacement is a thoroughly successful system with attractions ranging from LTE mobile broadband to a ritzy 5-megapixel webcam. HP's business laptops give the game away with model numbers ending in "0" for Intel or "5" for AMD, so you know the EliteBook 865 G9 (starts at $1,554 $2,189 as tested) has an AMD CPU. Others have secret codes-Lenovo, for instance, designates some systems with the letter "i" for Intel, as with the Slim 7 versus Slim 7i. With some laptop vendors, you have to check the spec sheet to see whether a machine contains an Intel or AMD processor.
