HP EliteBook 840 G11 - 9G0H5ET AZERTY

The HP EliteBook 840 G11 is a powerful 14-inch laptop for heavy business multitasking, for example when you work with many tabs at the same time. I did not experience any delays, even when I opened a so-called 'master sheet' with about 15 tabs. Unfortunately, the video card is not powerful enough for graphic editing. Powerful enough for heavy use I sometimes work with more than 50 tabs open, which is heavy for the laptop. This requires a lot of working memory, especially because each tab carries a certain load of data. To test the 16 gigabytes properly, I opened about 20 different Google Sheets spreadsheets and Google Docs text files, to see if I could keep switching quickly. The laptop had very few problems with this, even when I opened my large 'master sheet'. This EliteBook ran smoothly and also had little trouble rotating pivot tables. The browser had more difficulty in smoothly rotating all the spreadsheets. In comparison, my own laptop with a 10th generation Intel processor takes twice as long to load this document. This shows how powerful the current processors are. Sturdy housing with good overview The HP EliteBook series combines a slim design with a sturdy magnesium housing. I recently tested an HP ProBook made of aluminum and I did a small test by knocking on both housings. This made it clear that the magnesium housing of the EliteBook is even sturdier than the aluminum housing of the ProBook. I was already satisfied with the aluminum housing, but this goes one step further. Even now I did not drop the laptop for a test, but I am sure that the EliteBook will hardly suffer any damage if it does happen. Magnesium is a bit heavier than aluminum, but despite that I found the laptop to feel light. Small size and sturdy housing In addition to the small size, I was particularly struck by the low weight. This laptop weighs only 1.19 kilograms, so I barely felt the laptop in my bag. Since I travel back and forth at least 3 times a week, I see this as a big advantage. The laptop takes up little space in my bag and I hardly felt it on my shoulders. I knocked on the laptop a few times with my knuckles and the laptop felt very solid. So solid that it does not break immediately when dropped. Since the 1040 is made for use on the road, this gives extra security when you accidentally drop the laptop.
