HP EliteBook 840 G5 14.0" i7-8650U 512 GB SSD 8 GB DDR4

HP EliteBook 840 G5 Business Laptop

This 14.0-inch laptop runs Windows 11 Pro on an Intel Core i7-8650U processor with four cores and eight threads. It ships with 8 GB of DDR4 memory in a dual-channel layout and a 512 GB PCIe M.2 solid-state drive. The display is a non-touch FHD panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution driven by integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Upgrade From Older Dual-Core Ultrabooks

Moving from a dual-core system to this quad-core i7-8650U gives a clear lift in multi-threaded workloads such as compilation, virtualisation or heavy spreadsheet work. The jump is worth it when your current machine stalls on parallel tasks and you need the 4.2 GHz turbo headroom without stepping up to a larger chassis.

For Mobile Professionals Needing vPro Manageability

IT-managed fleets and road-warriors who value the silver aluminium unibody, webcam, Bluetooth 4.1 and USB Type-C with DisplayPort will fit this unit. Buyers who want more storage than 512 GB, a dedicated graphics card, a touchscreen, or a 13.3-inch or 15.6-inch screen should look at other configurations.
