HP Elitebook 840 G5 i5-08 8GB 256GB (CERTIFIED REFURBISHED)

• Processor: Intel Core i5-08 (8th Gen) – The 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processor is a mid-range CPU, offering good performance for everyday tasks like word processing, web browsing, emails, and light multitasking. It’s a solid performer but might not be as fast or power-efficient as newer generations like the 10th or 11th Gen. For general business use, it should still perform adequately.

• RAM: 8GB – 8GB of RAM is typical for business laptops and sufficient for running office applications, web browsing, and light multitasking. If you regularly have many applications open or deal with memory-heavy tasks (like large datasets or complex presentations), 8GB might start to feel a bit limiting, but for most business tasks, it’s a good fit.

• Storage: 256GB SSD – The 256GB SSD provides fast boot times and quick access to files and applications, helping improve overall system responsiveness compared to a traditional hard drive. This storage capacity should be enough for typical business needs like documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, but it might be restrictive if you store large media files (e.g., videos, design files) or require more space for apps. External storage or cloud-based storage could be considered if more space is needed.

• Display:

  • The EliteBook 840 G5 typically features a 14-inch Full HD (1920×1080) display. This size provides a good balance between portability and screen real estate for work tasks like email, document editing, and browsing. The resolution ensures clear, sharp visuals for everyday use.

  • Depending on the configuration, it may include an anti-glare coating for better viewing in various lighting conditions.

• Build Quality:

  • The EliteBook 840 G5 is built with durability in mind. It features a premium aluminum chassis, making it both lightweight and sturdy.

It’s a solid choice for professionals who need a reliable laptop for regular commuting or travel.

  • It also has a sleek, professional design, which is often preferred by business users who need a device that looks good in the office or during meetings.
