- Is the EliteBook 840 G5 still worth buying?
- For office work, browsing and light multitasking, yes: the quad-core i5 and 16GB of RAM remain capable. It makes less sense if you need long battery life, a sharp display or heavy creative performance.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The 840 G5 has accessible memory slots and a replaceable M.2 SSD, so both can be upgraded after purchase.
- Does it have a fingerprint reader?
- Yes, a fingerprint reader is built in, and some configurations add an IR camera for facial recognition with Windows Hello.
- How does it compare with the EliteBook 840 G6?
- The G6 is a modest refresh with the same design language and similar 8th-gen options. The G7 and later move to newer processors and better displays, so they are the bigger step up.
- What ports does it have?
- It includes USB-A, USB-C, HDMI and Ethernet, plus a headphone jack, which covers most office docking and peripheral needs without adapters.
- Is the display good for photo editing?
- The base panels are dim with limited color coverage, so they are not ideal for color-critical work. Look for a configuration with the brighter full-HD panel if that matters.
