HP EliteBook x360 830 G8 — 13.3" Convertible Business 2-in-1 with 4G LTE
A genuinely light 1.32 kg flip-hinge ultrabook built around the 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB NVMe SSD — the balanced, mainstream configuration of the x360 830 G8 line. Built-in 4G LTE mobile broadband and Windows 11 Pro come as standard, backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
-
Balanced 11th Gen performance: the Core i5-1135G7 runs four cores and eight threads up to 4.2 GHz — ample headroom for Office, browsers, Teams and light editing without the price of an i7.
-
16GB of RAM, not 8GB: the full memory allocation for this chassis, so heavy browser tabs, Excel models and virtual meetings run side by side without swapping.
-
256GB NVMe SSD: a fast PCIe drive sized for cloud-first users who keep files in OneDrive, SharePoint or Google Drive rather than locally.
-
True 360° convertible: laptop, tent, stand and tablet modes from one hinge — sign documents, present to a client, or read on a plane tray table.
-
Integrated 4G LTE: a WWAN modem means a data SIM gets you online in a taxi, a client site or a cafe with no tethering and no public Wi-Fi risk.
-
Enterprise security stack: TPM 2.0, HP Sure Start firmware protection, IR camera for Windows Hello and a physical webcam shutter.
Performance In Use
The i5-1135G7 is the sweet-spot chip of Intel's Tiger Lake generation. Four cores and eight threads with a 4.2 GHz boost handle the work most business users actually do — thirty browser tabs, a Teams call, Outlook, a large spreadsheet and a PDF reader all resident at once. Paired with 16GB of RAM, the machine keeps everything in memory rather than paging to disk, which is the single biggest determinant of whether a laptop feels quick two years into ownership.
Integrated Iris Xe graphics do more than the old UHD parts they replaced. Dual external 4K monitors over USB-C are comfortable, Full HD video playback is smooth and hardware accelerated, and light Photoshop or Lightroom passes are workable. This is not a gaming or 3D rendering machine, and sustained video export in a 13-inch chassis will thermally throttle — but for document, web and communication workloads it never feels short of grunt.
The 256GB SSD is the configuration to choose if your working files live in the cloud. Windows 11 Pro plus Office leaves roughly 180GB free, which comfortably covers a synced OneDrive folder, a local Outlook cache and a working project set. If you archive large photo, video or VM libraries locally, look at the 512GB variant of this same model instead. The convertible hinge and 4G modem are where this machine separates itself: it is one of the few 13-inch business 2-in-1s with mobile broadband built in, which changes how you work away from a desk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different to the i7-1165G7 / 512GB version?
Same chassis, same display, same 4G LTE modem. This unit runs the Core i5-1135G7 with 256GB of storage; the i7 model adds roughly 10–15% CPU headroom and double the drive capacity. If your files live in the cloud and your workload is documents, browsers and calls, the i5 / 256GB configuration here is the better value.
Does the 4G LTE come with a data plan?
No. The WWAN modem is built in and ready to use, but you supply your own nano-SIM and data plan from any Australian carrier.
Can I upgrade the RAM or the SSD later?
The 16GB of RAM is soldered to the mainboard and cannot be changed — which is why 16GB rather than 8GB matters at purchase. The M.2 NVMe SSD is replaceable by a competent technician.
Is Windows 11 Pro genuine and licensed?
Yes. Every machine ships with a genuine, activated Windows 11 Pro licence and a clean installation — no trial software and no previous owner data.
Does it include a stylus?
A pen is not included unless explicitly listed. The touchscreen responds to finger input out of the box and is compatible with an MPP-standard active stylus if you want one.
What is included in the box?
The laptop and a compatible USB-C power adapter. Original retail packaging, manuals and accessories are not included.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are dispatched from our Melbourne warehouse, usually the next business day. Free standard AU shipping is included — metro areas typically arrive in 2–5 business days.
Warranty & Peace of Mind
Every device is covered by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty, with batteries covered for 30 days as consumable items. If something goes wrong, you deal with a local Melbourne team — not an overseas call centre or a drop-shipper.
