HP 2018 Elitebook 840 G1 14inch HD LED-backlit anti-glare Laptop Computer, Intel Dual-Core i5-4300U up to 2.9GHz, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, USB 3.0, Bluetooth, Window 10 Professional (Renewed)

I needed a basic good laptop for my media needs. I have a lot of music and am a nature photographer. I wanted something that I could use to setup for use with iTunes and Adobe. I also wanted something that would be a light laptop for travel. I didn't want to spend a lot of money as this is just essentially a travelling media server. I wanted an HP Elitebook with 8GB RAM, Windows 10, and a 500GB Hard drive. And I wanted to spend under 250 dollars. I received my laptop from this vendor and it is great. It looks brand new. The setup instructions were simple and clear. I was pleased to see that this was a basic machine, and the boot image wasn't loaded up with a bunch of junk software. I couldn't be more pleased. Now for the best part. My touchpoint was missing its cover (this is the little mouse button in the middle of the keyboard between the G,B, & H keys). I called the support number, and they immediately resolved my issue. I received via overnight a replacement cover. I would use this vendor again. I would also recommend such a laptop for a student. The graphics are basic, but for almost all normal applications and games this is a lot of computer for 245 bucks.

Good price for a great laptop. Has more than enough performance for all but the most demanding uses (eg gaming). Light, good battery life and has backlit keyboard. Although it is plenty fast enough as is, upgrading the hard drive to an SSD would be even faster and extend battery even further.

This laptop is super lightweight. Keys press easily and quietly. It's features such as the lighted keyboard with the ability to dim that light are perfect. It handles basic tasks without complaint, such as email, youtube, having several browser windows open. The battery is okay; will go for about 3-4 hours before getting low. Unless you put on the keyboard back lighting- that seems to significantly reduce the battery life to 2-3 hours. Has no touch screen. Overall worth the price for a basic laptop.

TL/DR: Not recommended. Problems as received, HD died after 5 months. Seller says no warranty despite using a 1-year warranty as a selling point. Purchased in March '22. I didn't have concerns when ordering, after all it was advertised as being in "Excellent Condition", backed by the "90 day Amazon Renewed Guarantee", and a 1 year warranty. What could go wrong? (Don't ever ask that question, you might find out. . . . ) As received, the right half of the tracking pad and the bottom 2 mouse keys didn't work; I mostly use a mouse, so I didn't worry about this. A couple weeks later the battery's "full charge" only powered the computer for about 15 minutes before shutdown. Bought a new battery. At just shy of 5 months, the hard drive failed. I contacted the seller--Tech Ventures--via Amazon to find out the terms of the warranty. Seller says there is no warranty. Hmm. It looks like the bottom picture in the sales blurb still shows the purchase comes with "Laptop", "AC Adapter", "Technical Support", and "1 Year Warranty" So which is it, Tech Ventures? I contacted Amazon's Customer Support, they said they'd contact the seller. Since then, the only thing I've heard is crickets. Shop carefully. I got ripped off, but it gave me a reason to buy a new laptop: one that actually WORKS.

Muy buen producto

I got this for my son who needed a faster computer. It's got a nice i5 processor at a decent clock speed and solid graphics (no discreet card). But he is very happy with the performance. On the one we received the hard drive did crash outside the warranty period - I replaced it with a $50 SSD drive and now the laptop is faster than ever. Aside from the packaging - I could not tell that this was not a brand new computer - no scratches or dents or dead pixels. The battery was able to hold 100% charge. If you're looking fro a laptop for basic gaming and schoolwork - you cannot beat the price and performance of this one.

I bought 2. One, stopped working after about a year. When it comes on it keeps blinking. We dont know how to fix it. The other one, the battery wouldnt stay charged so I contacted the seller for another one. They sent it and it worked for about 8 months and then wouldnt keep a charge. So I started using it plugged in all the time. Then when my husband's started doing the blinking thing, I took his battery and mine works fine again.

Great value for $250 (after tax and delivery). Very smooth transitions, loads apps within 1 second. Even runs CS:GO at 60 frames per second (which is smooth performance. I have had this laptop for 2 weeks and I have used 300 gigabytes of the hard drive already, and this slows the performance of the computer. I went ahead and replaced the hard drive with a solid state drive, which made this computer load everything INSTANTLY. Runs faster and smoother than my brothers $900 desktop that he built. This is not a gaming rig, but it runs very fast for CS:GO which is the other reason I bought this PC besides for schoolwork. I highly recommend this PC, have not had any problems with it besides that I have to purchase a windows 10 product key, but this is optional.

The laptop was received very quickly and in excellent condition. This is a very nice product and would recommend for anyone. The customer service is great.

Need to buy a new one because videos start slowing down and sure en flickers if its been on for a while

Great producr

Since day oke, the laptop had difficult time working as it should. It was very slow to process programs. I let it go for being an older laptop. But in one months the right click on the mouse pad died. Six months later the programs were not getting installed as it should. I even wiped the disc clean recently and reinstalled the window. But it only seem to have made things worse. I'd recommend spending the money elsewhere.

One of the Best Laptops in this Budget.
