At my old job, I got to set up an HP Elitebook 840 G9.
I fell in love. I adored the edges of the chassis and I didn't miss the buttons and trackpoint at all. (What a touchpad!)
I looked for a Ryzen version and there it was, my dream ultrabook - the 845 G9.
One day. ("when I grow up" as we say)
Well one showed up on a market - a physical one, not online (!)
Dream spec, it even has a touchscreen (no fingerprint scanner, but has a great webcam with Windows Hello)
300€. Not kidding. Thought about flipping it for 3x that, but I could never replace it (+ it is my dream spec and it somehow found me)
I am good for another decade (E744O retired/on HTPC duty)

HP
I have dealt with a few 840s. I always hated them. Sorry

The chassis changed between the G8 and the G9.
It no longer has any buttons for clicking, just a big touchpad.
Basically it's the Ryzen Dragonfly G3 (everything from Alex's video fully applies).
Also, the 6650U is a completely different beast compared to my previous Haswell machine.
I didn't realize "Radeon graphics" meant a "660M", which turns out to run games at 720p comfortably.
