HP Elite x2 G4 Detachable Core i5 8th Gen, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Touch (Refurbished) – An Affordable Windows 11-Ready Business Tablet With a Kickstand
The refurbished HP Elite x2 G4 is one of the most affordable ways to get a business-grade Windows tablet that still runs a supported version of Windows. Its 8th Gen Intel Core i5 processor (i5-8265U or vPro i5-8365U, depending on unit) appears on Microsoft’s Windows 11 supported list, unlike older refurbished tablets, and delivers 4 cores and 8 threads for Office, Teams and web apps. In addition, the tablet weighs about 0.82kg on its own and 1.17kg with its detachable keyboard, while a built-in kickstand holds the screen at any angle on a desk, a lap or an airline tray table.
The 12.3-inch WUXGA+ (1920 x 1280) touchscreen uses a 3:2 aspect ratio and Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and it supports the HP Rechargeable Active Pen G3 for handwritten notes. Meanwhile, Bang & Olufsen dual speakers and a three-microphone array designed for 360-degree voice pickup let a small team join a call around one device in a meeting room in Upper Hill or a field office in Garissa. Furthermore, Wi-Fi 6, two Thunderbolt 3 ports, 8GB RAM, a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD and a 47Wh battery rated up to 14 hours 15 minutes round out the package. Every unit arrives refurbished, tested and inspected for dependable daily use.

Who This Laptop Is Best Suited For
As a result of this combination of specs, three types of users benefit most:
- Students and first-time tablet buyers who want a Windows 11-ready tablet and laptop in one device and, therefore, value a low refurbished price.
- Managers and small teams who host calls around a single device and benefit from 360-degree microphone pickup and Bang & Olufsen audio.
- Field and NGO staff who travel light between counties and need a kickstand tablet with Wi-Fi 6 and long battery life.
For fixed office or reception workstations, however, a desktop may suit better; browse our range of HP Desktops to complete your setup.
