It sounds like you’re asking about the touchpad for various models in HP’s EliteBook 840, 845, and 745 series, specifically the G1 and G2 versions. These models are business laptops designed for professionals, and they often have similar hardware configurations, with slight variations between generations. Here’s a breakdown of what you might expect from the touchpad on these laptops:

  • Supports the same touch gestures as the 840 series.
  • The 845 G1/G2 is likely to have similar performance to the 840 models, with a slightly larger screen.
  • Precision drivers that support common Windows gestures, which should improve the overall experience compared to basic drivers.

3. HP EliteBook 745 G1/G2 (14-inch):

Common Touchpad Issues:

1. Driver Issues: Ensure that you have the latest drivers installed for the touchpad. You can check the HP website for your model’s driver updates.
2. Sensitivity/Responsiveness: If you’re having issues with the touchpad being too sensitive or not responsive enough, you can adjust settings in the “Mouse and Touchpad” settings in Windows.
3. Function Keys: Some HP models allow you to enable/disable the touchpad using function keys (like F7 on some models).
4. Physical Damage: If the touchpad itself is physically damaged (cracked or unresponsive), you may need a replacement part.

If you’re looking to troubleshoot or replace the touchpad, you’ll likely need to access the service manual for the specific EliteBook model to see if it’s replaceable or if it’s part of the main assembly. You can usually find this information on HP’s official support page.
