HP EliteBook 640 G10 review – has quiet fan, good upgradability, and long battery life


The EliteBook lineup is constantly growing and it offers business devices in many different price ranges. The HP EliteBook 640 G10 is a small 14-inch laptop that has a good amount of security features such as a TMP 2.0 chip, a self-healing BIOS, a Web camera with a privacy shutter, HP Tamper Lock (that will warn you if someone has opened the laptop and modified / changed the hardware), etc.

If you work in a crowded office environment and don’t want someone to have a sneak peek at the personal info on screen, you can get a display with HP Sure View tech (the panel becomes tinted for people viewing it from the left or the right). If you want your laptop to be full of useful extras such as an IR camera, fingerprint reader, LTE connectivity, a Smartcard Reader, or a vPro CPU you have to pay more for these optional goodies.

Speaking of which, seven different Intel 13th Gen CPU variants are available. This includes two P-series 28W processors for those who need extra power. The other offerings are 15W U chips that are more efficient. Display-wise, you can choose among many 1080p units and there is even a touchscreen model. We spot a 768p TN panel in the specs – avoid it like the plague. We can hint that the I/O is good and you get Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity.
