So, whatever HP did in the UEFI update "unfucked" the relevant bits and freed the offset that OpenBSD uses.

And now that I am sharing this - I recall that I have experienced the same before - on a HP Elitedesk (IIRC: DM 800 G5).

I hope that this might be useful information for others. If you have some HP hardware that won't boot OpenBSD, make sure you have the latest firmware.

I don't know if this affects the Elite series only or also the Pro series.

Wen ich auf Arbeit ein #Elitebook bekomme, gehöre ich dann zur Elite? Oder bin ich weiter schnöder Sachbearbeiter?

I got a HP Elitebook 840 G5 with a broken SSD. It seems to be a M.2 SATA version with 256 GB capacity. According to the manual it should support M.2 SATA drives with up to 256 GB (the option with the highest capacity then in 2018) and NVMe drives up to 1 TB.
Is the 256 GB capacity limit for M.2 SATA drives a hard limit or can I buy a larger one and it'll work ?
I know the advantage of the NVMe variants but I'm not sure whether these will fit on the board.

I just ran a few comparisons between the MacBook Neo and my HP Elitebook. I‘d put both laptops in roughly the same overall category. They‘re both pretty cheap without dedicated graphics. Accepable performance for everyday applications.

The HP does have more RAM and storage space, but its „Intel Ultra 5 135U“ processor is actually quite a bit slower than the MacBook‘s A18Pro chip, even for gaming. The HP will often turn on its system fan, which can be a bit annoying.

Next to the MacBook, the Elitebook also feels way cheaper and is also thicker and heavier. Lots of plastic parts!

Debian GNU/Linux on a HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14

I have set up Debian GNU/Linux unstable (which will become Debian 14 Forky at some point in 2028) on a HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC. Many of these things will probably be valid for other AMD variants of this generation of the Elitebook and even the ZBook series.

Hardware specifications

These are the hardware specification of this particular system:

Ai miksikä läppärissä oli lämpöongelmia? Noh kuvat kertovat. 12,5v pölyn keräämistä, oli hieman prossun siili tukossa. Nyt on puhdas, uudet pastat, ja koneessa jekkasee lukutoukka komiasti gnomella.
