HP Elitebook 840 G8 i5-11 8GB 256GB (CERTIFIED REFURBISHED)

• Processor: Intel Core i5-11 (11th Gen) – The 11th Gen Intel Core i5 is a significant upgrade over previous generations, offering improved performance and efficiency. It features better single-core and multi-core performance, making it great for day-to-day office tasks, video conferencing, light multitasking, and some more demanding tasks (like handling larger datasets or using more resource-intensive business applications). It also supports Thunderbolt 4 (on supported models), which is excellent for fast data transfer and connecting to high-speed peripherals or external displays.

• RAM: 8GB – 8GB of RAM is generally enough for most business users, offering a smooth experience with typical tasks like running office software (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), browsing the web, and email management. If you frequently work with larger files or need to run multiple applications simultaneously, the 8GB of memory should suffice. However, if you tend to use a lot of apps at once, or work with more intensive applications, you might experience some limitations, but for typical business use, it’s good enough.

• Storage: 256GB SSD – The 256GB SSD provides fast boot times, quick application launches, and more efficient storage than traditional hard drives. For business tasks, this is typically sufficient for storing documents, presentations, spreadsheets, and other work-related files. However, if you work with large media files (like videos, 3D models, etc.), you may find this storage a bit limiting. In that case, external storage or cloud services can be used for additional space.
