AI-generated summary
The HP EliteBook 840 G10 is the kind of business laptop you buy when you want “it just works” without babysitting it—solid build, sensible enterprise features, and a mainstream processor that’s generally smooth for typical office work. For £1297.56 ex‑VAT, the price only makes sense if you value the EliteBook range (manageability, durability, and that usually-refreshingly clean corporate support story) over getting a cheaper consumer-style machine. If your staff live in Teams, browser-heavy workloads, Office apps, and maybe a bit of light data work, this will feel dependable day to day, not like a compromise.
That said, £1.3k is a lot for what’s essentially a basic configuration. In 2026, 8 GB and a 256 GB drive can become a limit faster than people expect—especially if you run multiple apps, keep lots of files locally, or use browser tabs like they’re going out of fashion. My advice: buy it if the user base is truly standard-office and you’ll manage storage centrally (and ideally you have a clear upgrade path/standard image). Don’t buy it if you’re expecting “power user” performance, offline file-heavy work, or you want this to last multiple years without tightening the belt.
