HP EliteBook 840 G11 Review (Intel 155U, 16GB, 14" IPS)

[@danethorson]

HP deserves a praise for NOT soldering RAM chips. Many of those small and light laptops come with soldered RAM turning them essentially into tablets without any upgrade options. If someone has made a mistake of purchasing laptop with just 8GB of RAM and later realizes it is not enough, with socketed RAM it can be easily remedied. If all RAM is soldered - you are out of luck. Of course technically RAM can be resoldered but that is not an easy or cheap option.

[@brents2500]

Abolutely agreed!

[@MrAfzalaziz]

I am using the 840 G10 and it had been a great experience so far. Way better than dell latitude I used earlier

[@fierycreepers]

I am from India and my laptop is performing good 👍

[@popokatapetl6995]

56 Whr battery, wow, what an improvement from 51 😂

[@dareemmanuel6079]

Thanks!

[@DVDHDBLURAY]

Unbelievable that HP still sells premium laptops with terrible screens. Great for upgradability, but this is just wrong. And also puting power button in the middle between other buttons is unforgivable.

[@Dovecomputers]

Dell do the same with these VA 300 nits display panels. Totally agree with the power button, such a bad design choice.

[@davidk739]

To be fair, the power button doesn't do anything if you press down on it quickly. Been using a similar model and I've had no issues for a couple years of daily use.

[@trailblazer_ss]

This is business model, meaning any company can configure their model for best efficiency, lowest cost for what they need. They don't need great screen, just buy lowest screen version. Easy

[@danethorson]

@@trailblazer_ss in the most cases in the business people use those laptops with docks and external monitors. Although with Dell's MTP you do not even need a dock - just chain up to 3 monitors using their DP outs.

[@mbafalosable]

Why they remove on board ethernet ? While the elite book 640 g11 still have it with same specs

[@LDevkota]

I like to buy this laptop as soon as possible so could you please tell me how much is the real cost for this laptop in USA

[@MnemonicCarrier]

I think I'll go for the 845 G11 (with the AMD Ryzen 7 8840u). Very poor selection of displays in the UK, so I'll head on over to the US to buy mine.

Is Windows Hello working only with fingerprint sensor or also with webcam?

[@shaystar9347]

Just got one today

[@lastsamuraial]

How is the battery?

[@shaystar9347]

@lastsamuraial I didn't get a chance to see yet. I had time to put in my Microsoft and emails in the laptop but will be testing it today

[@akin242002]

The good: Good for business and data analysis, adjustable RAM, adjustable SSD storage, lots of ports, good web camera resolution, and comfortable to travel with. The bad: Ultra U CPU is ok. Better to get the Intel Ultra H versions. The iGPU is bad unless you get the Ultra H version with 8 core iGPU. The sound system is ok, but misses base sound. The display is usually ok with ok color accuracy. The web camera AI could be a bit better for this version of light and sound filters.

[@wakaflockaproject]

Is the G10 better?

[@akin242002]

@wakaflockaproject Outside of single core CPU performance, yes.

[@wakaflockaproject]

@@akin242002 are the equivalent dells or lenovo a better bet than hp

[@akin242002]

@wakaflockaproject In most years, HP ELITEBOOKs are not better than Lenovo ThinkPad T14 nor Dell Latitude 74xx (Dell Pro Plus in 2025). The Dell Latitude 7450 has better WiFi and screen resolution.

[@octanevz]

Any chances we will see a ZBook Power and Fury G11 review soon? 😊

[@octanevz]

And ofcourse ThinkPad P1 Gen 7.

[@Dovecomputers]

Totally 💯 Been waiting on HP to have both in stock for review. Fingers crossed it will be some time this month. 👍

[@chunqiu7898]

If the Elitebook X G1a isn't upcoming next month, I would have considered this 840 G11. But the temptation is big with the 890m iGPU.

[@Dovecomputers]

Waiting to get my hands on the EliteBook X G1a for a review!

[@chunqiu7898]

@@Dovecomputers Yes, in December I hope. The issue of wobbling hinge of the G11 troubles me.

Thinkpad is still Dady in business class and will stay for a long time...

[@akin242002]

The big 3 are Lenovo ThinkPad T14/T14s, Dell Latitude 7000s/5000s series, and HP EliteBook 840/845 series.

[@popokatapetl6995]

@akin242002 Actually, to be honest with you, I agreed with all except dell Serial 5000 bad construction all plastic

[@LucianLatife]

@@popokatapetl6995 Agree. Top two, ThinkPad and EliteBook. Dell distant second.

@@akin242002 How should I choose between Latitude 7450 - EliteBook 840 G11 and ThinkPad T14 G5 all with Intel Core Ultra 7 165U - 16/256?

[@user-od6gi4lz8t]

ASUS Zenbook is a very low level laptop and cannot be compared with a vPro capable HP Elitebook 840 G11.

I'm so glad I spent tens of man hours to produce a comprehensive video for you to highlight a non-relevant point in the review.

[@ambhat3953]

@@Dovecomputers and you spent few more mins to reply to me though you felt my comment was "irrelevant". Kudos to that
