HP Elitebook 840 G5 14-inch FHD (1920x1080) Business Laptop (Intel Quad-Core i5-8250U, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB SS USB Type-C, HDMI, Windows 11 Pro (Renewed)

I like it....

I am very disappointed with this HP Notebook primarily becuase I have owned two of the older versions and been very happy with them! This Notebook get HOT while charging and the fan has a nasty whisteling sound that can get annoying ! Also, the Dymanic Lighting did NOT work on this Notebook! Despite it being ON, the keys were completly dark which makes it hard to use the Notebook at night! And if those reasons were NOT enough to return the device, the KEYs themselve feel MUCH cheaper than the previous generation of keyboards on these PCs! I think HP Sourcing folks decided to save a BUCK and opted for cheap keyboard. I already filled out the return form and will drop it off next week!

I love this laptop. Better than I thought I was getting.

Great specs and great price. I did have to replace the battery after a few months (which I suspected I'd have to do since it's a refurb laptop), but now it stays alive all day, and it was still much cheaper than buying new. Recommended.

bought 10 laptops. one has line through screen. one has battery that will not take a charge. one has fan that constantly runs (when opening the base to clean fan, battery falls out due to missing screws. one does not connect to a docking station (damaged docking port). one shipped with 256GB hard drive (I ordered 512GB). Contacted support via email to get assistance, no response. Tried calling the business number, goes to voicemail, but voicemailbox is full. So, I bought 10 and 5 are usable. Will make due and "borrow from Peter to pay Paul" to make a few more work, but I highly suggest you avoid this seller.

It wasn't till my 3rd try that I got one that wasn't defective (first had bad lighting on the screen, second had a straight up TN screen, 3rd wasn't touch like the first but oh well), but it's quite good, and where Amazon was really cool about it, it was worth waiting to get a sweet laptop for $250.I was really impressed by the build- it's lighter than a 2022 14" MacBook Pro, still has that nice metal finish, the trackpad is glass and supports MacOS-like gestures on Gnome 44 out-of-the-box, keyboard feels good, and it meets all sorts of toughness requirements if you're into toughbooks. What really matters to me though is that this is the only non-rugged laptop I've seen besides the MacBook with a bright enough screen for outdoor use- and that's in San Diego sun. Also super nice that it supports charging over thunderbolt so I only ever need 1 charger, and can use all my laptops interchangeable on the same dock.There were still some other issues though like the privacy slider is missing on the webcam, the IR sensors for Windows Hello are missing, and I think the mic and webcam are either damaged or just the worst instance of both to ever exist, and I do miss that touch screen my original one had (even though the description said it doesn't have one). I'm done returning these over and over though, it is what it is, I really can't complain when I'm cheaping out this hard.

Fantastic! For a refurbished laptop, you wouldn't know that it's not brand new. Not a single scratch or wear mark. Even the packaging was A+ and looked like factory. PC booted with no issues. This seller obviously knows what they are doing. Great job!

This was a rebab. There was a problem with the hard drive. When Windows did all the upgrades to bring the system current the whole system crashed. Nothing on the hard drive but fragments of Windows.. Had to do a very low level format and total reload. Returned system to Amazon and got a refund. Not taking a chance on a repeat.
