HP Elite X2 G813" Tablet i7-1185G7 16GB 512GB SSD 4G LTE Touch Win 11 Pro Wty

HP Elite x2 G8 — Top-Spec 13" Detachable Windows Tablet, i7-1185G7 16GB 512GB LTE

This is the flagship configuration of HP's Elite x2 G8 detachable: a quad-core Intel Core i7-1185G7 vPro processor, 16GB of LPDDR4x memory, a 512GB NVMe SSD, and built-in 4G LTE mobile broadband. Detach the keyboard and it is a pure Windows 11 Pro tablet; clip it back on and it is a full ultraportable laptop. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty with free standard AU shipping.

Why Choose This Configuration?

• Intel Core i7-1185G7 vPro — the top 11th Gen chip in this chassis: 4 cores, 8 threads, up to 4.8GHz turbo. Noticeably faster sustained performance than the i5 versions of the same tablet, with vPro remote-management support built in.
• 16GB RAM — double the common 8GB build: Memory on this platform is soldered and cannot be upgraded later, so buying 16GB up front is the difference between a device that ages well and one that does not. Comfortable with 30+ browser tabs, Teams, Office and a VM running together.
• 512GB NVMe SSD: Twice the storage of the entry configuration. Room for a full Office install, local project archives, an Outlook cache and offline OneDrive without constantly pruning files.
• Integrated 4G LTE mobile broadband: A nano SIM slot means genuine connectivity away from WiFi — no tethering, no portable hotspot, no dead time between sites. This is the single feature that separates the Elite x2 from most detachables.
• Sharp 3:2 touch display: The tall 3:2 aspect ratio shows meaningfully more of a document or spreadsheet than a 16:9 widescreen of the same diagonal, and 10-point multitouch works cleanly with a stylus for annotation and sign-off.
• Thunderbolt 4 and Windows 11 Pro: Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports give 40Gbps docking, 4K display output and power delivery over one cable. Windows 11 Pro brings BitLocker, domain join, Hyper-V and Remote Desktop for managed fleets.

Performance in Use

The i7-1185G7 paired with 16GB of RAM is a genuinely different device to the 8GB i5 builds of the same tablet. Where the entry configuration starts paging to disk once a heavy browser session, Teams and a large spreadsheet are open at once, this one simply keeps going. Tiger Lake's higher sustained clocks matter most in bursts — opening a 200-page PDF, recalculating a large workbook, exporting a report — where the extra turbo headroom shortens each wait by a noticeable margin across a working day.

Detached, the 13-inch tablet is the point of the product. It is light enough to hold one-handed through a site walk or a stocktake, and the kickstand folds out to any angle for desk work. Because it runs full Windows 11 Pro rather than a mobile OS, the same line-of-business applications, VPN client and domain policies that run on the office fleet run here unchanged — there is no second app estate to maintain. With an active stylus (sold separately) the touch layer handles precision annotation, form completion and signature capture well.

The LTE modem is what makes that field use practical. Insert a nano SIM and the tablet is online in a car park, on a client site or between offices without depending on a phone's battery for tethering. Back at a desk, a single Thunderbolt 4 cable into a dock restores a 4K monitor, wired ethernet, keyboard and mouse. WiFi 6 handles video conferencing and cloud-heavy workflows on modern access points, and the vPro platform gives IT out-of-band management for remote support and patching.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the keyboard included?

No — this listing is for the Elite x2 G8 tablet unit only. The HP Travel Keyboard is sold separately; it attaches magnetically and connects over pogo pins, so no pairing or charging is required once fitted.

Can the 16GB of RAM be upgraded later?

No. Memory on the Elite x2 G8 is LPDDR4x soldered to the mainboard, which is exactly why the 16GB configuration is worth choosing over the 8GB build — it is a decision that cannot be revisited after purchase.

Does the 4G LTE need a specific carrier?

The integrated WWAN modem takes a standard nano SIM and works with Australian carrier data plans. A SIM and data service are not included — supply your own from your preferred carrier. Once the SIM is inserted, Windows treats the connection as a normal network adapter, so it can be set as metered and will fall back automatically whenever WiFi is unavailable.

How is this different from the i5 versions of the same tablet?

This is the top configuration: i7-1185G7 vPro instead of an i5, 16GB RAM instead of 8GB, and a 512GB SSD instead of 256GB. It holds up far better under heavy multitasking and has a longer useful service life. The i5 builds are the better value if the device is destined for light single-app use; this one is aimed at people who will run their full working set on it for several years.

What ports does it have?

Two USB-C Thunderbolt 4 ports, a nano SIM tray, a nano security lock slot and a 3.5mm audio combo jack. A USB-C hub or dock is needed for USB-A peripherals, HDMI or wired ethernet.

Does it work as a standalone tablet?

Yes. Without the keyboard it is a fully functional Windows 11 Pro tablet with 10-point multitouch and a folding kickstand for freestanding use at any angle.

Is shipping free?

Yes — free standard Australia-wide shipping is included with every order.

12-Month Warranty & Reboot IT Guarantee

Every HP Elite x2 G8 we sell carries a 12-month Reboot IT warranty covering hardware faults and component failures, handled by our Melbourne-based support team. A 30-day battery health guarantee applies to all grades — Grade A units hold 70%+ of original capacity, Grade B units 50–70%.

Reboot IT has been Australia's trusted refurbished IT specialist since 2001. Every device passes through the same process before it is listed: full hardware diagnostics, a certified data wipe of the SSD, a clean Windows 11 Pro installation, battery health measurement, physical cleaning and an independent cosmetic grade. Nothing is sold on the strength of a supplier's description alone.

Buying refurbished through a specialist rather than a marketplace listing means the warranty is held locally, claims are assessed by the same team that tested the unit, and replacement stock is on hand in Melbourne. Free standard shipping Australia-wide is included on this device. Visit reboot-it.com.au to see the full range of business tablets, detachables and ultraportables.
