HP EliteBook 745 G5 review: A feast for the hands, not for the eyes

This security-laden laptop trips over some quality issues, even when it excels elsewhere

HP EliteBook 745 G5 review: A solid AMD-powered laptop, but screen and battery life disappoint Review | ZDNet

The EliteBook 745 is well built and has a decent keyboard, but the 14-inch screen lacks brightness and colour vibrancy, while battery life could be better.

Display lacks brightness and is reflective ; Disappointing battery life
