Verdict

The HP EliteBook 640 G10 is a business device that can attract future buyers with its good comfort under load and capable cooling solution that allows high CPU frequencies even during max processor stress. The keyboard is also suitable for countless hours of typing because of the long key travel and the clicky feedback. The metal chassis feels premium to the touch but its overall solidness isn’t the best we’ve seen.

The 16:9 1080p IPS display (LG Display LGD0724) is all you need for normal work. It offers wide viewing angles and there is no sign of PWM usage so you can use the laptop for prolonged periods of work without sensing eye strain (you have to take regular breaks from time to time). However, the panel color coverage and maximum brightness are unimpressive.

The upgradability is surprisingly good for a 14-incher – two DDR4 SODIMMs for up to 64GB RAM and two M.2 slots. The I/O seems modern with its four USB ports, HDMI 2.1, and an Ethernet connector. The thing that we don’t like is the fact that many extras are optional and even the keyboard backlight falls into this category. The battery has a modest capacity of just 51.3Wh but that’s enough for more than 12 hours of Web browsing on a single charge. Keep in mind that our laptop has a 15W U-series CPU under the hood, if you pick a device with a more thirsty 28W P chip, the autonomous life could be shorter.

The HP EliteBook 640 G10 has a capable and quiet cooling solution, good upgradability, and long battery life.
