A review of the HP EliteBook 840 Aero G8 business ultra laptop (i7-1165G7, 16Gb, 512Gb, Intel Iris Xe)

HP’s EliteBook 840 Aero G8 is the company’s upper mid-range business laptop wrapped around a lightweight chassis that was used in the previous G7 variant. New updates include 11th gen Intel Tiger Lake-U options, Intel Iris Xe graphics, 5G connectivity and Thunderbolt 4 ports. Is it enough to warrant a buy?

Best review. I'm probably getting this

What a good review and I liked the fact you showed us a computer we might actually be able to order today, and get within 30 days, as opposed to a newer model that is really not available yet. I am saddened by Intel's inability to effectively compete in this class. With the Ryzen machines, and Apple's M1 running circles around them for overall performance and value. I have a G7 Zbook so that my CPU can run at a sustained 45 watts, but you have to use a giant, expensive power brick and forgo USB charging. This all comes down to Intel falling behind the market in supporting new, popular features. With a brighter display, improved camera, and class leading upgradability; clearly HP is finally doing it's part. Sadly it's CPU is not.

I got it for 560€ and upgraded to 32gb and 1tb nvme, it's incredible how well it does. The bad thing is that my monitor is 45% ntsc, the colors are quite poor

I already bought HP Dragonfly g2. Like everything about it, except it is sometimes hot and loud.

What is the difference between elitebook, probook and notebook?

Not any Videocard chips in it, not a good Webcam.
Rest is Premidium ;)
