- Is the EliteBook 840 G5 still worth buying?
- Yes for basic office, study and browsing work, especially if you value a durable chassis and easy upgrades. It is a poor fit if you need long battery life or modern graphics performance.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The bottom panel comes off with a few screws, and both the memory slots and the drive bay are accessible, so you can add RAM and a larger SSD yourself.
- How does it compare with the 840 G6?
- The G6 is a modest refresh with similar build and ports but newer internals and slightly better battery. The G5 is the better value if the basics are all you need.
- Does it have USB-C and Ethernet?
- Yes. Business models typically include USB-C, USB-A ports, HDMI and a full-size Ethernet jack, which many consumer laptops lack.
- What should I check on a refurbished unit?
- Check battery health, screen for dead pixels, keyboard condition and that the charger is included. Confirm the RAM and storage match what you expect.
- Is the 1080p screen good enough?
- For documents, spreadsheets and video it is fine, with a standard 60Hz refresh. It is not a color-critical or high-refresh display.
