Performance scores
A 2018 EliteBook with a low-reliability, low-mobility profile at a fair price
The HP EliteBook 755 G5 (2018) pairs an AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2300U with 32 GB of RAM and lands at $282, in line with the business-class median of about $297. It is an honest office machine with no real standout strength: reliability is low at 23, mobility is low at 38, and there is no discrete GPU. The pricing is fair for the class, but no single metric leads the peers.
A balanced but unremarkable office config
The Ryzen 3 PRO 2300U is a competent quad-core processor for everyday office work, and 32 GB of RAM is comfortable headroom for that workload. There is no metric on which this laptop clearly leads its peers — it is workmanlike rather than standout, and the pricing reflects that.
Reliability, mobility, and graphics are the trade-offs
The weak spot by level is graphics performance (integrated only — no gaming or GPU-accelerated creative work), but reliability (23) and mobility (38) are both low for the class too. At 2 kg-class with average battery efficiency, this is not a travel machine, and as a 2018 platform it should be evaluated with one eye on remaining useful life.
Depreciation in line with the class
From a base near $1300, the laptop has depreciated to $282 at roughly 8% per year, with a projected value around $238 in two years — a typical curve for a 2018 AMD business model.
ThinkPad alternatives bracket it
Slightly pricier options include the Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 2 ($319) and ThinkPad T14 Gen 1 ($302); cheaper alternatives include the HP ProBook 650 G5 ($256) and Lenovo ThinkPad L14 Gen 1 ($264), which offer similar business-class hardware for somewhat less.
Bottom line
The EliteBook 755 G5 is a fair but unremarkable pick for stationary office work — email, documents, browsing — where mobility and graphics do not matter. Buyers who need a more dependable or more portable platform can find better peers at similar prices; the case for this machine rests mainly on the fair price and the EliteBook build.
