HP EliteBook 1040 G3

The HP EliteBook 1040 G3 is a highly portable business laptop loaded with security features, including an innovative display that makes it easy to keep prying eyes away from your sensitive business data.

Screen can appear fuzzy. Middling battery life.

HP EliteBook 1040 G3 review

A Windows-based MacBook Pro rival

Super thin ; Lightweight ; Core i7

No 4K option ; Only 512GB storage

The HP EliteBook 1040 G3 is a well-built business-class device. If it's capable of performing at the same level as laptops with a similar processor, it will be worthy of your consideration.
