HP EliteBook 840 G8 · Intel Core i5 (11th Gen) · 14" HD · 8 GB / 256 GB SSD

Here's a HP EliteBook that has already proven itself in a corporate fleet, now tested and ready for its second life with you. The EliteBook 800 series is HP's premium business laptop — the one HP sold to large companies that wanted something a step above the ProBook. Better materials, better screen, better keyboard. The 840 G8 is an 11th-gen EliteBook with Iris Xe-class graphics and a premium build.

The Core i5 is the sweet spot for most people — quick enough for multitasking, Office, coding and online classes, without the extra cost of an i7. 11th-generation Intel brought Iris Xe graphics, which are roughly twice as capable as older Intel graphics — you notice it in video calls, external monitors and light editing. 8 GB RAM is the right amount for study, office work and normal multitasking. The 256 GB SSD means it boots in seconds and apps open quickly. The 14-inch HD screen is fine for documents, browsing and video.

Build and everyday use

Aluminium body, about 1.5 kg, with a solid, premium feel. Backlit keyboard and a good touchpad; many units have a fingerprint reader. It comes with genuine Windows 11 Pro installed and activated.

Upgrades

Most 840 models have two RAM slots and an M.2 SSD — easy to upgrade.
