HP EliteBook 840 G5 laptop

The HP EliteBook 840 G5 is a 14.0 inch business laptop equipped with an Intel Core i5-8350U processor running at 1.70GHz, 16GB of memory and a 512GB solid-state drive. It ships with Windows 10 Pro installed and features integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. The non-touch display offers a 1920 x 1080 resolution. Wireless connectivity uses 802.11ac and a single HDMI port handles external video output. A webcam is built in for video calls.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This device suits professionals needing a portable Windows 10 machine for office applications, email and web-based workflows. The 16GB memory and 512GB SSD provide responsive multitasking and ample space for documents. Buyers who require dedicated graphics performance for CAD, video editing or gaming should look elsewhere. Users dependent on legacy optical media or multiple external monitors from a single port will also need a different configuration.

Deciding specification — 16GB soldered memory limit

The single specification that decides fit is the 16GB memory ceiling. The system memory is not upgradeable, so the 16GB installed at purchase is the permanent maximum. If your workload regularly exceeds this capacity — such as running several virtual machines or large data sets — this laptop will constrain performance regardless of processor or storage speed. Confirm your peak memory demand before committing.
