HP Elitebook 1040 x360 G8 2-in-1 Laptop, 14" FHD 1000-NIT (1920x1080) SureView Intel Core i7-1185G7 512GB SSD 16GB RAM Win 11 PRO (Renewed)

Bought this machine to succeed my beloved Spectre with a 6th gen i7. As a renewed item, it is nearly perfect, with only the tiniest nick where you don't see it. The machine specs exceed it's predecessor by a healthy margin, the screen is bigger in a very similar body size, and the performance is great!Being a business machine, it lacks a micro-SD slot, but it does come with a fingerprint sensor which works nicely to log in with. The keyboard is fabulous, the touchscreen is beautiful, and the touchpad perfect. And the sound is WOW for volume and clarity. And they put the power key on the left edge where it belongs, and NOT on the keyboard where the delete key belongs.The charger is just weird - a black box with a 4 foot long fat wire attached to the middle of one edge and another slightly less fat 4 foot wire coming out at the middle of the opposite side. Not sleek or easy to pack up. Wouldn't have been a design I'd be really proud to create, but it works and charges quickly. Charging is USB PD -I think 65 watts.This machine was a great value, coming in at 1/3 the cost of my last machine. The company that supplied it packaged it well and got it to me 2 days ahead of estimate arrival date (hooray!)No complaints or regrets! I'd get another one if I had a reason.

I couldn't be happier with this purchase. Everything works as described. Honestly, if this is a truly renewed product, it wasn't used for very long before being traded in. I would dare say that this machine is new. The battery life is exceptional. The screen is a force to be reckoned with.. I haven't had to turn it up past the lowest setting unless using it during the day at work. This machine handles tasks well.. even multitasking. Very fast and efficient laptop. If anything changes I will update this review.Update, 01/21/2023: I must say that after a few days of this little guy being a daily driver I am nothing short of amazed. Perhaps I could feel this way because I've used a chromebook for the past two years and a Dell Latitude 7404 before that with an old intel core i5 w/8gb of ram running windows 10 pro? All I really do is Media/music/simple web browsing, occasional shopping and cloud based EMS software/apps for work and am the polar opposite of a "power user" who plays games and does host of other high demand things.. but nevertheless, for those activities that I engage in with my trust sidekick here, it has been a world of difference from what I am used to. I'm still learning the layout of Windows 11 (it upgraded for free the day after I purchased this laptop) but have not had a bad experience or any trouble yet. Very much worth it at this point. As far as I'm concerned, for my little world, worth its weight in gold! As always.. I will update with any more good news and/or mishaps. God bless.. :)

The leptop is clean seamed to be good . First night that i charged it heated up and almost burnt my house .The battary was damagedAmazon offered verry low refound .From my last experiance Amazon is untrustable such as other Chinies companies . )-:

The latpop arrived as scheduled in a box with only adapter and laptop. No manuals or warranty card. I guess this is what they call renewed. In good condition - no visible defects. Going to keep it for now and see if it is fully functional. I need it for travel so no time to run it fully. As long as it works, I'm good.

I like everything about this computer. I use it for a variety of computing tasks. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5, is because the camera/video function doesn't work, despite trying everything to get it to work. It's a hardware issue. If I want that to work, I'd have to check into replacing the onboard camera. Fortunately for me, I have other devices to use. I've seen others have experienced the same. If I needed the camera to work, I'd probably send it back for replacement until I got one that did work. This one will suit my purposes just fine.

I've purchased at least five (5) of these, they work great and give you impressive value for money.one of them arrived with a non textured version (I personally like it better, but looks more dated) but with the same specs.One of them arrived with an internal problem where it shuts down when I move it, and i have to restart it. (It's extremely sensitive, even small vibrations shut it down). however reddit and HP support suggested it might be a loose internal component.I've Filed the claim with Amazon and received a full refund, and I intend to re-purchase the same laptop as soon as the Refund gets filed. they are nice, small, compact and very lightweight.Great Refurbished product, but remember, you are buying Refurbished, there is always an added risk.

It does everything well but the battery is not long lasting I don't know if that's just my laptop or what also the fan gets pretty loud

This product works great even for a refurbished system. Works like new for half the price of what this model would be as a new laptop with same specs. Fast and responsive, has AX protocol WiFi network card and 8 core processor. Very light weight and portable.
