HP EliteBook 840 G8 J5-840G8N11 laptop i5-1145G7 16GB 256GB 14" FHD

Purpose and audience

This HP EliteBook 840 G8 is a 14-inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i5-1145G7 processor with 16GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. It runs Windows 10 Pro and includes a 1920 x 1080 non-touch display and integrated webcam. The configuration suits office professionals, remote workers and students who need a reliable daily driver for productivity apps and video calls. Buyers who want a dedicated graphics card, a larger screen or more internal storage should look elsewhere.

Setup checks

Verify that your existing peripherals match the available ports: one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, one HDMI output and one RJ-45 Ethernet jack. There is no optical drive, so plan for software installs via USB or network. Confirm that Windows 10 Pro meets your organisation’s licensing and security requirements before deployment. The 256GB SSD may require external or cloud storage if you handle large media libraries.

Thermals, noise and power

The compact 14.0-inch chassis weighs between 3 and 3.9 lbs and relies on internal fan cooling for the 2.60GHz processor. Under typical office workloads the system runs quietly with moderate surface temperatures. Heavier multitasking will increase fan speed and warmth but remains within normal operating limits for a business ultrabook. Power draw scales with CPU load and screen brightness.
