Question Should I change battery?

[James Orr]

Hello. I'm getting an HP Elitebook 840 G5 I7 8350U, open box. I assume everything is like new. Should I consider replacing the battery? Or use it for awhile to see what kind of usage I get from it? Any thoughts??? Thanks!!

Why would you do that unless there is a reason. Open box laptops are often returned for reasons like changing their mind about the color, and may be available at a discount, its not the same as refurbished. It would be wise to check/test/use it first before you go for any modification/change/replacement/etc.
