Which is better for office work and multitasking?

The 840 G10. Its 13th-gen chip has 8 efficient cores plus performance cores and uses DDR5 memory, so it handles many open apps better than the G8's 4-core 11th-gen CPU.

Which has the better screen?

The G10. Its 1920 x 1200 16:10 panel is taller and rated at 400 nits with anti-glare, while the G8 uses a 1920 x 1080 16:9 screen.

Which lasts longer on a charge?

The G8 is rated higher, up to 14 hours versus about 10 hours of web browsing on the G10. Real-world results depend on brightness and workload.

Is the G10 worth stepping up to over the G8?

Yes for most buyers. The newer CPU, DDR5 memory and taller brighter screen are meaningful gains. The G8 still makes sense if you want the lower-power 16:9 design and its longer rated battery.

Do both have vPro and business manageability?

Yes, both offer Intel vPro on equipped processors, so IT departments can manage either the same way.

Which is lighter to carry?

They are close. The G10 is about 3.0 lb and the G8 about 3 lb, so the difference is negligible in a bag.

HP EliteBook 840 G8 vs HP EliteBook 840 G10

The EliteBook 840 G10 is the better pick for most shoppers. It has a newer 13th-gen Intel platform with 8 efficient cores, DDR5 memory, a taller 16:10 WUXGA screen at 400 nits, and a lighter 3.0 lb chassis. The 840 G8 is the older 11th-gen design, but it is a proven business workhorse with vPro, a strong port set and a long idle battery figure. Buy the G8 only if you want the familiar 16:9 layout and a machine that has been widely deployed and reviewed.

Choose the EliteBook 840 G8 if you want a proven 11th-gen business laptop with vPro, a 16:9 screen and a well-documented port layout.
Choose the EliteBook 840 G10 if you want newer silicon, DDR5 memory, a brighter 16:10 display and a lighter body.
