An 11th Generation platform for your working day

The Core i5-1145G7 gives this EliteBook its 11th Generation platform, paired here with 16GB RAM for everyday multitasking. Keep project documents, web tools and research open together as your tasks change. Thunderbolt 4 connectivity is useful when planning a compatible dock and desk setup, letting the same laptop serve you at a regular workspace and in different rooms.

A useful working day often involves several small tasks at once: answering a customer, checking an order, preparing a presentation and finding the right reference file. Having your tools together on a familiar desktop helps you stay organised. The 16GB configuration is included across all the choices here, so you can concentrate on storage capacity and cosmetic preference when deciding which option to buy.

Full HD space for work and study

The 14-inch screen provides a practical balance between a portable laptop format and an everyday workspace. Full HD resolution gives you room to organise documents and browser windows while keeping the laptop convenient for a shared desk or study area. Keyboard-and-mouse use is central to this confirmed non-touch configuration.

At a permanent desk, HDMI lets you connect a compatible external display. A second screen can give reference material its own space while you write, or let you keep a spreadsheet alongside a document. Match your monitor, cable or dock to the listed connections before ordering accessories. A thoughtful desk setup can make the laptop useful across several different parts of your day.

Choose your SSD capacity with confidence

The 128GB SSD option suits a document-focused routine where much of your work is stored online. The 256GB SSD gives you more room for applications, coursework and personal folders. Choose the 512GB SSD when you want the largest local storage option offered in this listing, with extra space for project files and downloaded materials.

Consider the files you already use and the applications you plan to install. Documents, photographs, presentations and course downloads share space with Windows and your software. Selecting a suitable capacity at checkout makes the purchase straightforward. Each capacity is offered with the same 16GB memory and display, making it easy to compare choices around the storage you actually need.

Who Is This For?

Yes — the HP EliteBook 840 G8 is ideal for office and hybrid workers, students, teachers and households who want a 14-inch Full HD laptop for documents, research, spreadsheets, email and everyday organisation. Its 16GB RAM gives useful room for switching between applications, while the three SSD choices let you match local storage to your files. USB and HDMI connections make it practical for a compatible monitor, mouse and keyboard at your desk.

Not ideal for: demanding 3D rendering and graphics-intensive modern gaming on the HP EliteBook 840 G8. Choose a dedicated-graphics system for those workloads.
