HP provides a range of enterprise and business laptops for working professionals, corporates, and on the road employees like sales staff who require processing power for their business applications, along with security features that help defends against such cyber-attacks by preventing harm to hardware and firmware layers in the PC, while also enabling IT teams to check if hardware and firmware have been altered by malicious third parties during a device’s lifetime.
The Elite x360 1040 G10 2-in-1 laptop is one such a notebook PC, running Windows 11, and powered by Intel’s 13th gen Core i7-1355U which keeps things snappy and smooth within the OS even whilst multitasking, thanks to boasting a clock speed of 3.70 GHz (capable of hitting 5.00 GHz; Intel Iris Xe Graphics) along with 12 MB Cache and ten Cores, the snappiness is further assisted by the 32 GB worth of RAM and 1TB (1000 GB) SSD storage.
This 2-in-1 PC sports a 14″ (35.6 cm) WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) touchscreen that gets bright enough (400 nits) to be used even under harsh office lighting or outdoors in direct sunlight whilst working from home and enables the laptop to be used in a variety of modes including tablet mode, stand-, or tent mode while displaying content to other members of a discussion group for instance. The sound experience from the onboard speakers are also good for consuming content while the amount of ports allow for a lot of flexibility in terms of peripherals including amongst others two Thunderbolt 4 with USB Type-C (40Gbps signaling rate supporting USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort 1.4 capabilities), two USB Type-A 5Gbps signaling rate (1x charging), a HDMI 2.1 port and a stereo headphone/microphone combo jack.
On video calls via applications like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet and Slack, this 1.34 kg notebook PC (enclosures contains 90% recycled magnesium) allows users to look and sound their best thanks to a 5MP IR camera with HP Auto Frame that keeps you in frame as well as HP Dynamic Voice Leveling. The typing experience on the backlit keyboard and multitouch gestures via the large touchpad also make for a comfortable user experience on the go, or in the office.
All of this power and capability does come at a price though with the configuration closest to our model going for R 51,499 via the HP SA website, but you can get more affordable models and pricier ones depending on the configuration of storage, RAM, and CPU that you go for amongst other options.
