Design and Screen
Encased in a very strong magnesium casing, HP EliteBook 820 G1 should be very easy for business people to lug around, judging from its weight of just around 1.5 kilograms.
The keyboard is well designed, similar to what HP laptops are known for. Users can expect rugged performance from this notebook, having been subjected to military-grade testing for drop and shock, amongst others.
HP EliteBook 820 G1 is fitted with a 12.5-inch LED display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It should make for easy outdoor use given the matte nature of the screen.

A RAM of 4GB is provided on the standard model, with 8GB memory available on the model with Intel Core i7 processor. In all, the HP EliteBook 820 G1 can take up to 16GB of RAM.
