The honest entry point of the EliteBook wall
The 820 G1 is where EliteBook ownership starts: HP's compact 12.5-inch business chassis with 4th Gen Intel processing, a roomy 500GB hard drive, and the corporate-grade keyboard and durability the line is known for, in Core i5 or, for slightly more, i7. It is an honest machine for honest money: capable of documents, browsing, email and classes, built like the fleet veteran it is.
