The HP Elite x360 1040 G11 is a powerful 2-in-1 device with premium build quality. You can choose from four 28W Meteor Lake-H CPUs and one 15W chip which is for people who value battery life over performance. The memory may be soldered but you can order this little fella with up to 64GB of LPDDR5x RAM which is plenty. The device also offers many optional features such as a fingerprint reader, NFC, SIM connectivity, Wi-Fi 7, and vPro CPU functionality.

Six of them are 1200p screens with different max brightness levels and color coverage. The top tier panel is a 2.8K (2880 x 1800) 120Hz OLED model. As you may already guess, this one is the most expensive of the bun[...]

Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Opening the HP Elite x360 1040 G11 Hint: Power off the laptop and unplug all cables before starting.Undo the four captive Phillips-head screws securing the bottom panel. Look for slight gaps in the two bottom corners—these are good starting points. Insert a thin plastic tool in one of the gaps and begin prying the front. Continue working your way around the sides and back until all internal clips are released and the panel can be removed.More info: The bottom panel gives access to the battery, SSD, and connectivity components, while the RAM remains soldered.
