Has anyone here had experience with the HP EliteBook 855 G7 (Ryzen)?

I’m thinking about buying it refurbished with the 400 nits AUO display.

I’ve read online that some users had issues with the Radeon Vega 6 graphics driver, and that the screen could cause eye strain or discomfort.

For those who actually own this laptop, what has your experience been like?
Is the display comfortable for long use, and are there any recurring problems I should know about?

Thanks.

Hello everyone, I am considering buying a used HP EliteBook 855 G7 with an AMD Ryzen processor.

The hardware ID of the screen is AUOA08B, which according to Panelook points to the AUO B156HAN09.1 (60Hz, Low Power, 400 nits, native 8-bit). However, Panelook mentions a PWM frequency of 'Min. 200Hz ~ Typ. 1KHz ~ Max. 10KHz'. On the other hand, reviews and tests claim it is PWM-free.

Does anyone here have real-world experience with this specific laptop/panel or this generation of HP EliteBooks?

Any insights or measurements PWM behavior on this setup would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks !

Does anyone here have real-world experience with this specific laptop/panel or this generation of HP EliteBooks? Does the AMD graphics card enforce aggressive temporal dithering on this native 8-bit panel? If needed, I plan to disable Vari-Bright and use tools like ColorControl or ditherig to force a stable 8-bit output.

Any insights or measurements regarding eye strain on this setup would be greatly appreciated. Thanks !

Hello,

I am planning to buy the Asus Vivobook 15 (M1502NAQ) with a Ryzen 5 processor, 16 GB RAM, and an IPS display.

What are your experiences with Asus laptops?
The most important things for me are quiet operation and the display (especially that it does not use PWM).

I mainly use the laptop at night with the brightness set very low.

Alternatively, what other laptop would you suggest under 600 EUR?

Thank you in advance for your replies.
