The HP EliteBook 820 G3 is a 12.5-inch business laptop that was released in 2015. It is a well-rounded laptop that offers a good mix of performance, features, and portability. The third generation of the 820 G3 is a compact sub-notebook which is designed for business environments. Our review configuration, however, is unbalanced, because besides good performance, you also get a very poor TN screen. Coil whining is a problem for the small notebook as well.

The HP EliteBook 820 G3 is a 12.5-inch business laptop that was released in 2015. It is a well-rounded laptop that offers a good mix of performance, features, and portability. The third generation of the HP EliteBook 820 is a compact subnotebook which is designed for business environments. Our review configuration, however, is unbalanced, because besides good performance, you also get a very poor TN screen. Coil whining is a problem for the small notebook as well.
Design and Build Quality
The EliteBook 820 G3 has a sleek and professional design. It is made of a durable magnesium alloy chassis that is resistant to scratches and dents. The laptop is also very lightweight, weighing in at just 2.7 pounds.
Display
The EliteBook 820 G3 has a 12.5-inch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels or 1920 x 1080 pixels. The display is not the brightest or most colorful on the market, but it is sufficient for most tasks.
Performance
The EliteBook 820 G3 is powered by Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of storage. The laptop performs well in everyday tasks such as email, web browsing, and productivity software. It is also capable of handling more demanding tasks such as video editing and photo editing.
The EliteBook 820 G3 comes with a variety of features that make it a good choice for business users. These features include a fingerprint reader, TPM chip, and HP Sure Start. The laptop also has a number of ports, including USB 3.0, HDMI, and DisplayPort.
The heart of our review unit is an Intel Core i5-6300U. This dual-core processor can reach up to 3 GHz (2.9 GHz for two cores) thanks to Turbo Boost and can execute up to four threads simultaneously via Hyper-Threading. The TDP of this CPU is 15 Watts. It can maintain the specified Turbo Boost under maximum load, so the benchmark results are very good.
The processor is on par with the old Broadwell chip i7-5500U in Cinebench R15 Single but can beat it in the Multi test (+8%). The advantage over the very popular i5-6200U is between 7-9%, so the 6300U does not really pay off when you are only looking at the performance. The i5-6300U does, however, support vPro, which is certainly interesting for the target group. The faster Core i7 chips will hardly be worth the premium in the 820 G3, because they will probably be limited by the TDP in multi-core scenarios.
Our review unit does have the smallest battery in the comparison group, but the 44-Wh module still manages decent battery runtimes thanks to the low consumption. The rivals are beaten in general, only some of them have an advantage in individual scenarios.
Our two tests with an adjusted display brightness of around 150 cd/m² are particularly interesting. We simulate web browsing with our Wi-Fi test, while the power profile Balanced is selected. Our unit manages a little more than six hours in this case, so it is slightly ahead of the competition. Only the ThinkPad X260 runs 20 minutes longer.
The situation is even better in our video test (Power-Saver, wireless off) with a loop of the short movie Big Buck Bunny (H.264, 1920×1080 pixels), where the device can last more than eight hours, and all the rivals are beaten pretty clearly (-19 up to -41%). This means the device should manage a normal business day. It takes about 2.5 hours before the battery is fully charged again.
Overall
The HP EliteBook 820 G3 is a well-rounded business laptop that offers a good mix of performance, features, and portability. It is a good choice for users who need a reliable and secure laptop for everyday tasks.
