- Is the EliteBook 840 G5 still worth buying?
- For documents, browsing and office apps, yes: the keyboard, 16GB RAM and SSD make it a capable workhorse. It is a poor fit if you need a bright screen, long battery life or modern Thunderbolt speeds.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The bottom cover comes off with standard tools, and the 840 G5 has two SO-DIMM slots and a replaceable M.2 SSD, so both can be upgraded.
- How does it compare with the ThinkPad T480?
- Both are 14-inch 8th-gen business laptops. The EliteBook is lighter and often cheaper used, while the T480 has the better keyboard and hot-swappable external battery.
- Does it have Thunderbolt 3?
- The 840 G5 has USB-C ports, but Thunderbolt 3 depends on the configuration; check the specific unit's port markings before relying on it.
- What is in the box?
- Typically just the laptop and its power adapter. Docks, sleeves and pens are not included unless a seller states otherwise.
- Is the display good for photo editing?
- The base 1080p panel is dim with limited color coverage, so it is not suited to color-critical work. Look for a unit with the optional touch or privacy screen if screen quality matters.
