The reason is quickly found: The clock rate quickly falls to 3 GHz during the multi-thread tests. However, the performance gain is lower than possible in the Multithread tests. Effectively, Kaby Lake is an optimized Skylake. In terms of technology, Kaby Lake and Skylake do not differ. The higher clock rates are responsible for the better performance in the CPU tests. Thus, the 7500U clocks 200 to 400 MHz higher than its Skylake predecessor ( Core i7-6500U). Thanks to Turbo, the clock rate can increase to up to 3.5 GHz (both cores). The used Core i7 processor works at a base clock of 2.7 GHz. It brings a slightly lower maximum performance in favor of a significantly lower price. Those who want to save money can buy an EliteBook model with a Core i5-7200U processor. The processor should be more than enough for most user requirements. This is one of the most powerful ULV CPUs (TDP: 15-watt), which Intel currently has in its line-up. The EliteBook features an Intel Core i7-7500U (Kaby Lake) dual core processor. The TrackPoint appears to be good and allows quite a precise cursor control. These are primarily meant for use with the TrackPoint. Two additional mouse buttons sit above the touchpad. They feature a medium travel and a crisp pressure point. There are two separate mouse buttons in front of the pad. It can be enabled and disabled by double clicking the upper left corner. The pad is even responsive in the corners. Fingers glide easily on the smooth surface. Hence, the space for gesture control is quite limited. The multi-touch capable touchpad of the computer occupies about 8.2 x 4.6 cm (~3.2 x 1.8 in). Overall, HP delivers a well-made keyboard, which is also suitable for prolific writers. However, this can be viewed as nit-picking on a high level. Hence, the pressure point is slightly more spongy there. During typing, the central part of the keyboard, right beside the TrackPoint yields visibly. The smooth keys feature a short travel and a crisp pressure point. It features a backlight, which can be controlled via a function key. We are already familiar with the splash-proof Chiclet keyboard from the EliteBook 820 G3. The maximum opening angle is about 140 degrees. It is possible to open the lid with one hand. The build quality is beyond reproach: The gaps are even and you cannot find protruding material and/or sharp edges anywhere. Furthermore, pressure against the lid does also not cause any image distortions. The lid can be twisted to a small extent, but the display does not show any image distortions. A lot of force is required in order to dent it. The base unit proved to be quite pressure resistant. The case of the EliteBook is made of stable magnesium alloy. In order to get to the hardware components, you will need to remove the underside. The subnotebook lacks a maintenance hatch. The lid and the top side of the base unit are silver-colored while the underside and the display frame are black. pfd brochure for HP EliteBook 820 G3 i7-6600U 12.HP has adopted the case of the EliteBook 820 G3 without any changes.
