HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5 2-in-1 convertible business laptop review

One of the best business laptops on the market just got better

Nifty design and stylus ; Great performance ; Blisteringly fast SSD ; Plenty of ports

Battery life disappointing ; Expensive ; Uneven anti-glare display ; Loud under load

The EliteBook x360 1040 G5 is the apex predator of the business laptop world, a magnificent beast with a big punch, but also a bigger price tag (compared to its rivals). There’s a lot to like about it but the competition is ferocious out there, both in...

HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5 review: Versatile but lacking distinction

HP's flagship 2-in-1 line just got a great deal stronger

Impressive privacy features; Anti-glare screen coating works wonders; brilliant build quality; Responsive touchscreen/stylus combo

Display is poor indoors; Performance and battery could be better

If you’re looking for a privacy-focused machine with bountiful versatility, look no further. The performance isn’t market-leading and neither is the battery life, but it does everything to a good standard. It’s the classic ‘jack of all trades, master...

HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5

The HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5's slight stature, excellent build quality, and range of customization options make it an appealing ultra-premium 2-in-1 laptop for business use.

Comfortable keyboard. Unique anti-glare display. Fast charging. Long battery life. Very thin and light. Multiple customization options, including Intel vPro support. Thunderbolt 3 port.

Frequent fan noise. Expensive as configured.

Bottom Line: The HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5's slight stature, excellent build quality, and range of customization options make it an appealing ultra-premium 2-in-1 laptop for business use.

HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 (i7-8650U, FHD) Convertible Review

A flagship business convertible that seemingly has it all. The new EliteBook x360 1040 G5 is everything we love about the 13.3-inch EliteBook x360 1030 G4 in a 14-inch screen size. Unfortunately, it has the same disadvantages as its smaller sibling.

surfaces excellent at deterring fingerprints;excellent trackpad responsiveness;extensive security features;very bright display options;dual Thunderbolt 3 ports;4G LTE and NFC optional;crisp keyboard feedback;loud internal speakers;120 Hz panel...

disappointing Core i7 performance; weak CPU Turbo Boost;slow display response times; noticeable ghosting;weak GPU performance; no discrete graphics;matte anti-glare option is very grainy;HP Active Pen stylus sold separately;top display bezel is...

HP EliteBook x360 1040 G5 review: A sturdy and compact convertible ultraportable for business Review | ZDNet

The 14-inch Elitebook x360 1040 G5 is a 360-degree convertible laptop with solid build quality and a good range of specification choices, although high-end variants are very expensive.

Compact, solidly built 14-inch convertible ; Long battery life ; Good stereo speakers ; HP Sure View Privacy Screen option ; 4G LTE option

Expensive with additional options ; Active Pen is not bundled ; No privacy slider for webcam

HP Elitebook x360 1040 G5 review: A little bit bigger, a little bit better

It's similar to HP's 13-inch convertible, but extra screen space makes a difference.

Relatively compact design, even with its 14-inch display

No microSD card slot

But there are some things that HP just can't replicate, like Lenovo's superb typing experience on its ThinkPad X1 family. Some business customers also favor ThinkPads' nondescript design, and you won't get that in an HP business notebook in the same...
