HP EliteBook 840 G5 14 laptop i7-8650U 1.9GHz 8GB DDR4 2TB NVMe

Business laptop for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook 840 G5 is a 14.0 inch laptop powered by an Intel Core i7-8650U quad-core processor running at 1.90 GHz with 8 GB DDR4 memory. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and a 2 TB NVMe PCIe M.2 SSD. The 1920 x 1080 FHD display uses LED backlighting and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. Connectivity includes USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports, a USB Type C Thunderbolt 3 port, HDMI and Gigabit Ethernet.

Suits office work and light creative tasks.

This configuration handles document editing, web browsing, video calls and multi-monitor setups through the Thunderbolt 3 and HDMI outputs. The 8 GB RAM and integrated graphics limit performance in 3D rendering, modern gaming or large video timelines. Buyers who need discrete graphics or user-upgradeable memory should consider other models. The non-touch screen and lack of an optical drive also restrict certain workflows.

2 TB NVMe storage with 8 GB shared memory headroom

The 2 TB NVMe drive provides ample space for operating system, applications and large project files without external drives. System memory is shared with the Intel UHD Graphics 620, so intensive graphical tasks reduce available RAM for applications. The 15 W quad-core CPU sustains typical productivity workloads but thermal constraints limit prolonged maximum frequency. Four cores and eight threads manage parallel office tasks comfortably.
