EliteBook 1040 G11

The Intel Core Ultra 7 165H with 16 cores boosting up to 5 GHz is Intel's flagship mobile chip, providing ample horsepower for demanding professional tasks. Integrated graphics cover everyday tasks and light creative work, though dedicated gaming is limited. Professional workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and large dataset processing are a strength of this configuration.

The 14-inch IPS panel delivers 1920×1200 at 60Hz — a reliable choice for productivity and media consumption. Additional features include touch input, adding versatility for creative and interactive use. The display score of 55 suggests the panel is adequate but not a standout feature.

16GB LPDDR5X at 7467 MT/s of RAM is the modern sweet spot — sufficient for most users including developers, creators, and power users. 512GB of NVMe SSD storage covers the basics, though power users may want to supplement with external drives.

At 1.18kg (2.6 lbs), this laptop is ultralight and measures 16.5mm thin. Battery life offers exceptional all-day battery life (~17hr) backed by a 68Wh cell, keeping you unplugged through long workdays.

Port selection includes Thunderbolt 4, 2× USB-C, 2× USB-A, HDMI 2.0, covering most professional and everyday connection needs. Wireless is handled by the latest Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
