HP EliteBook 840 G5 — 14in Business Laptop with Built-in 4G LTE
A premium 14-inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i5-8350U, 8GB DDR4 RAM, and a 256GB NVMe SSD — with built-in 4G LTE mobile broadband, HP Sure View privacy screen, and Windows 11 Pro. Professionally tested and backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
-
Built-in 4G LTE: Drop in a data SIM and work online anywhere there is mobile coverage — no tethering, no hunting for Wi-Fi, no public hotspot security risks. Ideal for consultants, field workers, and frequent travellers.
-
Quad-Core i5 Performance: The i5-8350U runs at 1.7GHz and boosts to 3.6GHz across four cores — handles Office 365, Teams, multi-tab Chrome, and PDF editing without slowing down.
-
Fast 256GB NVMe SSD: NVMe storage boots Windows 11 in seconds and opens files almost instantly — a noticeable upgrade over older SATA-based machines.
-
HP Sure View Privacy Screen: One keystroke darkens the display to side-on observers — useful on planes, in cafes, or any open workspace where screen privacy matters.
-
Windows Hello IR Webcam: The 720p IR camera supports facial recognition login via Windows Hello — secure, passwordless sign-in in under a second.
-
Thunderbolt 3 + Full Connectivity: Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, USB 3.1, Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 4.2 — everything you need to dock, present, or connect without adapters.
Performance in Use
The EliteBook 840 G5 is a genuine business ultrabook — lightweight enough to carry to meetings all day, powerful enough to run a full productivity stack without hesitation. The i5-8350U's four cores and 3.6GHz turbo handle email, Excel models, Teams calls, and browser-heavy workflows simultaneously. The 256GB NVMe SSD means Windows 11 boots quickly and applications launch without the lag that plagues older spinning-disk machines. The 8GB of DDR4 is sufficient for most office workloads and the two SODIMM slots support up to 32GB if you need more headroom later.
Where the 840 G5 stands apart from most business laptops is its built-in 4G LTE modem. Insert an active data SIM and you have a secure, private internet connection anywhere mobile coverage exists — no public Wi-Fi, no hotspot dependency. This is the difference between a laptop that works in an office and one that works anywhere: on site, in a client's meeting room, at a cafe, on a train. The SIM slot is internal, so there is nothing to lose or forget.
The 14-inch Full HD IPS display is sharp and bright with wide viewing angles, and HP Sure View lets you work confidently in public spaces. Bang & Olufsen tuned speakers and a triple-microphone array make video calls sound professional from both ends. The IR webcam adds Windows Hello face recognition — a genuinely faster and more secure way to unlock the machine than a password.
