HP Elitebook 840 G6 i5-08 16GB 256GB (CERTIFIED REFURBISHED)

• Processor: Intel Core i5-8th Gen
  The 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processor, though not the latest, still provides reliable performance for business tasks such as office applications, web browsing, multitasking, and video conferencing. With 4 cores and 8 threads, it can handle medium workloads with good efficiency. While newer processors (like 10th Gen or 11th Gen) would offer better performance, this CPU is still capable of providing smooth day-to-day functionality for general business users.

• RAM: 16GB
  With 16GB of RAM, this laptop is well-equipped for multitasking and handling more demanding business tasks. You can comfortably run multiple applications at the same time, such as Microsoft Office, web browsers with several tabs, and video conferencing tools. This amount of RAM also ensures that the laptop remains responsive during busy workdays.

• Storage: 256GB SSD
  The 256GB SSD offers fast boot times and quick access to your files, providing a responsive experience. SSDs are faster than traditional hard drives, which significantly improves the laptop’s overall speed. However, 256GB of storage may be limiting for users who work with large media files, databases, or other storage-heavy content. If needed, you can always use external storage or rely on cloud storage solutions.
