Is the EliteBook 840 G7 still worth buying?

Yes for office, school and travel use, where the keyboard, ports and battery carry it. Skip it if you need a bright, color-accurate screen or heavy CPU performance.

How does it compare with the EliteBook 840 G8?

The G8 moves to 11th-gen Intel chips with Thunderbolt 4 and usually a better screen. The G7 is cheaper and still fine for everyday work, but it is a step behind on performance and connectivity.

Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?

The SSD is a standard NVMe drive and can be swapped. Memory is soldered on this model, so buy the 16GB version you need up front.

Does it have Thunderbolt or a fingerprint reader?

This configuration has USB-C but not Thunderbolt 3. It uses the IR camera for Windows Hello face sign-in instead of a fingerprint reader.

What comes in the box?

The laptop, an AC power adapter and Windows activation instructions. No dock, mouse or stylus is included.

Is the touchscreen worth it on this model?

It adds convenience for scrolling and signing documents, but it does not fix the panel's dimness or narrow color range. Choose it for touch input, not for image quality.
