    HP EliteBook 840 G11 in-depth review

    Despite being a 14-inch machine, the EliteBook 840 G11 offers almost identical features to its bigger 860 G11 sibling. When we opened the device, we found the same cooling system and upgrade options. The port selection looks unchanged which is actually great news since you get four USB ports in such a small notebook. The keyboard also provides a similar typing experience but of course, it lacks a NumPad because of the reduced main body size.You can choose from a plethora of IPS display variants including two 1200p touchscreens and three more non-touch models with the same resolution. If your wallet is wide enough, you can get a device with a 120Hz 1600p screen. Some of the panels bring to the table the HP Sure View 5 technology which makes the onscreen info hard to read when viewed fro[...]

    Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

    Opening the Device Hint: Ensure the laptop is powered off and disconnected from any power source before starting.Undo the five Phillips-head screws on the bottom of the laptop. Use a lever tool to pop the rear around the hinge cover. Start with the two spots near the top edges and pry the central zone carefully. Once the central zone is pried, the clips on the back should be fully released. Pry the sides and the front of the laptop to fully remove the back cover.More info: The inside of the bottom plate houses a cooling pad for the WWAN slot, enhancing thermal [...]

    In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

    Office Work

    Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

    Design and Gaming

    This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

    Health-Guard

    Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
