After my Tiger Lake laptop suffered some damage on the power connector, I was looking for something which I'd use temporarily, until I get a decent MBP for university, and that's pretty much how I ended up here for less than £600/€700/$760.

Specs

• CPU - Intel Core i7-10610U (vPro Platform)
• GPU - Intel UHD Graphics 620
• RAM - 16GB at DDR4-2666
• Model - HP EliteBook 840 G7
• Audio Codec - Realtek High Defintition Audio (For ref. I'm using ID 21)
• WiFI and Bluetooth - Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 and BT 5

What works

• Hardware acceleration
• Audio, via built-in speakers
• Trackpad and keyboard
• Battery readouts
• 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C/Thunderbolt (macOS recognises as all Thunderbolt?)
• WiFi and Bluetooth? (WiFi works, but it's tedious on connecting/BT works to an extent)
• Volume controls on keyboard

What doesn't work

• Fingerprint sensor
• Microphone (uses Intel SST, so that's pretty much gone)
• S3 Sleep
• HDMI out
• RTC clock (Error 005, non-critical, but resets time and date to 00:00 01/02/2019 each reboot)
• Mouse buttons in between keyboard and trackpad
• Brightness controls (Although, you can fix that with a custom keyboard shortcut)

What needs more testing

• Camera
• Audio, via headphone jack
