HP EliteBook 840 G1
The ultrabook market is geared towards business users on the go, and the HP EliteBook 840 G1 is the latest offering from HP in this market. This 14 inch laptop is available in various configurations, from Intel Core i7 to i3, with varying combinations of SSD and HD storage and a few options in screen resolution. Options for the OS are Windows 8, Windows 7, SUSE Linux, and FreeDOS. The user can also opt for a touch screen if desired. The price would of course vary according to the chosen options. One thing is standard and that is the sturdiness of the body. Made of high quality magnesium and aluminum, this machine was built to withstand spills, knocks and drops.
Weighing in at 1.58 kg, and with a 3-cell battery with 50 Wh capacity,which is capable of lasting over 10 hours of light use, this machine is ideal for those with a lot of work on the go. Sporting a backlit, spill-resistant keyboard, a splash of coffee won't ruin a workday. The latest addition to this business savvy line will no doubt please those already familiar with this line. The quality of the materials, as well as the range of options available when configuring this device will no doubt please new potential users as well.

Archive.org versionThe 840 G1 has distinguished, get-down-to-business looks, a great design, robust performance and all the correct corporate options. My only caveat is that if an eraser-head is your preferred cursor-control tool, be sure you try before you buy.

Archive.org versionHP's EliteBooks have been perennial favorites among business buyers, and with good reason—the series offers security, durability, and ergonomics at an affordable price. The HP EliteBook 840 G1 business laptop provides an outstanding keyboard and touch pad, long battery life, and a VGA port in a sleek, affordable package. Just be prepared to accept some compromises.

Archive.org versionWe were pleased with the Elitebook 840 G1’s screen, too. The Elitebook 840 G1’s 1,920x1,080 resolution looked razor sharp on its 14in display and its matt finish diffused reflections very well. The screen’s image quality was also excellent. Our colour calibrator showed it was displaying 89.4 per cent of the sRGB colour gamut, which is high, and reds, greens and blues all looked bright and crisp. Our black level reading of 0.25cd/m2 was equally excellent. Solid blacks appeared deep and inky onscreen, with no signs of backlight bleeding whatsoever.

Archive.org versionAs a daily workhorse, it’s easy to get comfortable with the EliteBook 840 G1 – its 14in form factor and full HD display hitting a sweet spot for portability, productivity and practicality. There are some compromises though and battery life is the most obvious and may be the reason why HP is somewhat ambiguous about which models qualify as Ultrabooks, so it’s just as well you can easily swap out the power pack for another. Relying on an HDD does undermine the benchmark performance but it's not especially noticeable once everything is running. There’s an M.2 flash cache option to give the EliteBook 840 G1 a shot in the arm, which sounds like a great idea - if only HP could find them.

Archive.org versionThe HP EliteBook 840 G1 is a tough laptop, both from a build and software point of view. Built to the military's MIL-STD 810G standard, the 840 G1 can survive more than average wear than tear. Even better, thanks to its Intel vPro and custom HP security technology it should, if set up correctly, be fairly hacker proof. Even though it doesn't boast as good a battery life as HP claims and despite it being slightly chunky, the HP EliteBook 840 G1 is still a solid choice for any business user in need of a high-performance ultrabook.

Archive.org versionIt's a shame that the EliteBook doesn't include a solid-state drive that can really make the most of its powerful processor and GPU, but this is still a well-designed and versatile laptop that will appeal to many business users. The high-quality display is particularly suitable for presentations, while its sturdy design, security features and battery life will appeal to anyone that spends a lot of time out on the road.

Not without flaw. The EliteBook was good to start with and has been slightly improved owing to the Broadwell processor, which results in a longer battery life due to lower power consumption. Unfortunately, HP has not taken care of the laptop's shortcoming - the screen.

Hardly any changes. HP now ships its business notebooks with Kaby Lake processors as well, but the rest is pretty much unchanged. This is also the case for the display, which is quite bright, but it disappoints in all other areas.
Better with IPS! We already reviewed the new HP EliteBook 840 G4. One of the biggest issues of the 14-inch business laptop is the TN panel with its limited viewing angles. We now had the chance to check two optional IPS screens.

In addition to that, the build quality is exquisite and you have the opportunity to upgrade like crazy. However, there is the competition of Acer Swift 5 and one of the best business devices – Dell XPS 13 9370, both having distinctive features that set them apart from the rest.

If you can live with a merely fine screen instead of a show-off OLED or 4K display, it's hard to fault HP's EliteBook 840 G9. This business laptop includes everything from 5G mobile broadband to a high-res, AI-enhanced conferencing camera, along with highly competitive performance and additional security. The only question in our minds is how HP can top it with the would-be EliteBook 1000 series, and whether it can earn our Editors' Choice award next time.

This great display is paired with a wide I/O selection, including two Thunderbolt 4 connectors, and a Smart Card reader, which is optional. We couldn’t have wanted anything more from the keyboard, as it sports spill-resistance, a backlight, and is one of the most comfortable units for typing. Even though we got through 14.5 hours of Web browsing, or 12 hours of video playback on a single charge, we were left with a bitter taste. The crippled performance is not something we endorse, and we would like to see HP finally making a change in a positive direction.
