HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 2-in-1 Core i7 11th Gen, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Touch (Refurbished) – Core i7 Power and 512GB Storage in a Premium 14-Inch Convertible
The refurbished HP EliteBook x360 1040 G8 with a Core i7 and 512GB SSD is the higher-specification version of HP’s 14-inch business convertible, and it suits people who push a 2-in-1 harder than email and documents. Its 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor (i7-1165G7 or vPro i7-1185G7, depending on unit) delivers 4 cores, 8 threads, 12MB of cache and turbo speeds up to 4.8GHz. In addition, the i7 unlocks the full Intel Iris Xe Graphics with 96 execution units, so photo edits in Lightroom, Canva designs and short video trims run noticeably smoother than on i5 versions.
Storage also doubles to a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD, which leaves room for photo libraries, project archives and offline presentations alongside your applications. Meanwhile, 16GB of LPDDR4X-4266 memory keeps creative apps, Teams and browser tabs open together. The 14-inch FHD IPS touchscreen with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 folds into laptop, tent, stand and tablet modes, so you can edit with a compatible pen in tablet mode, then present the results to a client in tent mode. Furthermore, two Thunderbolt 4 ports support fast external drives and 4K displays from a studio in Kilimani or an office in Westlands. 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:
- Marketers, social media managers and content creators who edit photos and graphics by pen and touch and, therefore, benefit from i7 speed and 96-unit Iris Xe graphics.
- Senior executives and consultants who keep large presentations and archives offline on 512GB and present in tent mode during client visits.
- Analysts and developers who run heavier spreadsheets, BI dashboards or code on a premium convertible, with vPro management on i7-1185G7 units.
For fixed office or reception workstations, however, a desktop may suit better; browse our range of HP Desktops to complete your setup.
