HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 2-in-1 Core i5 11th Gen, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Touch (Refurbished) – A 14-Inch Convertible Canvas for Pen, Touch and Hybrid Meetings
The refurbished HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 is HP’s larger business convertible, and it gives you a 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen on a 360-degree hinge in a chassis just 1.66cm thin and about 1.31kg. Compared with 13-inch convertibles, the extra screen area makes a clear difference when you lay the laptop flat to mark up contracts, sign PDFs or sketch ideas with a compatible HP active pen. Meanwhile, the 400-nit panel with 72% NTSC colour and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 stays readable in bright Nairobi offices and classrooms.
For hybrid meetings, the 1040 G8 includes a four-microphone array, with two user-facing and two world-facing microphones. As a result, it picks up both your voice and colleagues across a meeting table, so remote participants hear everyone clearly. Under the keyboard, an 11th Gen Intel Core i5 processor (i5-1135G7 or vPro i5-1145G7, depending on unit) with Intel Iris Xe Graphics, 16GB of fast LPDDR4X-4266 memory and a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD handle Office, Teams and browser work smoothly. Furthermore, two Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB-A ports and HDMI cover docks, projectors and flash drives. 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:
- Lecturers, trainers and teachers who annotate slides and PDFs by pen on a larger 14-inch screen and, therefore, prefer a convertible over a standard laptop.
- Team leads and managers who host hybrid meetings from boardrooms in Upper Hill or Kilimani and value the world-facing microphones.
- Architects, engineers and designers who review drawings and mark up plans in tablet mode on site or in client meetings.
For fixed office or reception workstations, however, a desktop may suit better; browse our range of HP Desktops to complete your setup.
