Pros and Cons

HP EliteBook x360 1040 G11

Strengths

The EliteBook X360 1040 G11 has a very premium feel, tons of IO, and a great keyboard that makes it a competent partner for everyday computing needs.
The laptop comes with Intel's Meteor Lake Core i7-165h, 16GB of speedy memory, and a 1TB SSD, making it highly customizable and suitable for general productivity workflows.
The EliteBook has a sturdy and rigid construction, with a bright and almost white color that helps to keep fingerprints at bay.
The laptop's performance is snappy, with high single-core results in our PCMark tests, making it ideal for most general productivity workflows.

Weaknesses

The display options are limited, with only an FHD panel available on the review unit (there are other options available with higher color gamut coverage and brightness).
The webcam has a higher-than-average 5MP resolution but is not ideal for video conferencing.
The cooling system was not designed for prolonged heavy use, resulting in high temperatures during stress tests.
The GPU performance drops gradually during torture tests, which may be noticeable in usual use case scenarios.

HP EliteBook 840 G9

Strengths

The fact that you got really good upgradeability here, the ram, the SSD, the Wi-Fi card and the wireless Wan it's all upgradable by the user
A excellent outstanding keyboard and touchpad
A bright sharp 14 inch display
A 5 megapixel webcam in terms of getting your video conferencing done has been pretty good
The performance has been very good on this with that 12th Gen processor I expect this to get outfitted with 13th gen at some point here in 2023
Decent battery life, it did 9 hours and 27 minutes on the PC Mark 10 modern office battery test
Good audio quality from Bang & Olson tune speakers

Weaknesses

No 4K option which would have been nice but on a business laptop not essential so I understand why they went with that
No OLED option which would have been nice but on a business laptop not essential so I understand why they went with that
No ethernet port or SD card slot which would have been nice
The audio speakers can get a little bit expensive
12th Gen processor is getting outdated and will be replaced by 13th gen soon, which might be a concern for some users
Not as feature-rich as other business laptops like X1 Carbon gen 10 and the 11
