Description

The HP EliteBook 840 G8

Case — Sharper and Shorter

Owners of the G7 won’t be missing much by skipping the G8 save for all the internal performance updates since they both share the same chassis. Older EliteBook 800 laptops are traditionally rounder and thicker than the pricier EliteBook 1000 models like the EliteBook 1030 or 1040, but the 840 G7/G8 design brings the 800 series much closer to the 1000 series from a visual standpoint.

Chassis quality is excellent with just minor flexing along the keyboard center or corners of the base or lid. The center of the outer lid is perhaps the most susceptible to flexing which is common on most laptops. The Dell Latitude 9420 is tougher-built than our HP albeit at the cost of extra weight.

HP has shrunk the bottom bezel by almost 20 mm for a much smaller form factor and lighter weight than the older EliteBook 840 G5 design. The system is slightly thicker than many alternative models like the Lenovo ThinkPad T14s G2, Vaio Z, or MSI Summit E14, but this disadvantage is minor when compared to the more significant size and weight savings.

Familiar matte gray metal material shared between most EliteBook models

The gray surface obscures fingerprints better than the darker ThinkPad systems

Hinge rigidity is satisfactory and uniform at all angles

Connectivity — Now with Thunderbolt 4

Port options have changed from the older EliteBook 840 G5. Gone are the RJ-45 and proprietary docking port in favor of a second USB-C port compatible with Thunderbolt 4 accessories. The barrel charger port remains meaning owners have the option to charge the system via barrel or universal USB-C.

It would have been better to spread out the USB-C ports along both the left and right edges for easier charging much like on the Razer Blade Stealth or Vaio Z.

Right: Nano-SIM slot (optional), 2x USB-C w/ Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.0b, AC adapter

Left: HP DriveLock, 2x USB-A 5 Gbps, 3.5 mm combo audio, SmartCard reader (optional)

Communication — 5G Compatible

Most SKUs come configured with the Intel AX201 for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. Transfer rates are high and consistent when paired with our Netgear RAX200 test router.

Optional Intel XMM 7360 4G or Qualcomm Snapdragon X55 5G M.2 WAN module

Security

HP includes a suite of security features both within and outside of Windows which is a key differentiating factor between the EliteBook series and Spectre series. Physical webcam shutter, DriveLock, Secure Erase, TPM 2.0, optional Scart Card, Sure Click, and BIOSphere are just a few examples.

Maintenance

The bottom panel requires only a Philips screwdriver to open with thankfully no screws hidden underneath the rubber feet. Owners will have access to the M.2 2280 storage slot, M.2 WLAN module, and both SODIMM bays.

Accessories and Warranty

The retail box includes no extras beyond the paperwork and USB-C AC adapter. There are, however, plenty of HP branded accessories including USB-C docking stations, adapters, and sleeves available.

A one-year limited manufacturer warranty comes standard compared to three years on the pricier EliteBook 1000 series.

Input Devices — Not Spongy At All

Keyboard

HP Spectre and EliteBook keyboards are some of our favorites as they balance feedback, travel, and clatter better than other business laptops. Feedback in particular is crisper to avoid the usual spongy feel that is common on thin-and-light designs.

A two-level single-zone white backlight comes standard.

Touchpad

HP has preserved the area of the clickpad from the older EliteBook 840 G5 at 11 x 6 cm. It’s a bit smaller than the clickpad on the MSI Summit E14 (10.5 x 6.5 cm), but the HP actually comes with dedicated mouse buttons for more reliable multi-touch inputs. Glide is very smooth with minimal sticking even at slow speeds while the mouse buttons and clickpad are each firm and with loud clatter when pressed.

Keyboard layout remains mostly the same save for the changed secondary functions near the top right corner. The HP Programmable key is a new addition

Display — 16:9 is Getting Stale

HWiNFO is only able to identify the AU Optronics AUO068B controller but not the exact model of the panel. Nevertheless, our measurements show excellent results across most aspects including the high contrast ratio, wide color coverage, and bright 400-nit display to corroborate HP’s claim of a 400-nit panel.

The main drawback of the display is its slow black-white and gray-gray response times for noticeable ghosting especially if running games. There are also no 4K or OLED options while a number of business laptops like the ThinkPad X13 or Dell Latitude 9420 have already moved on to the more desirable 16:10 aspect ratio.

Touchscreen is available only for the dimmer 250-nit display options

* … smaller is better

Color coverage is excellent at 98 percent of sRGB to be slightly better than the panel on the older EliteBook 840 G5. The model offers no options for full AdobeRGB or P3 coverage at the moment.

The display is decently calibrated out of the box with average grayscale and color DeltaE values of only 3.7 and 2.84, respectively. Color temperature is ever-so-slightly on the cool side, however.
