The midrange EliteBook 840 G5 is a first-class 14-inch business laptop that challenges its up-the-stack HP kin, though you'll want to upgrade from the dim default screen.
The 14-inch business laptop segment is one of the most competitive in the PC market. At the top are glamorous models like the HDR-screened version of the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon and the new Huawei MateBook X Pro. Below are workhorse systems like the ThinkPad T470 and T480, and Dell's Latitude 5490 and 7490. Position HP's EliteBook 840 G5 between those two camps. This highly IT-manageable, spiffy-looking machine has its charms, and while it does not displace our Editors' Choice pick, the X1 Carbon, it delivers enough flexibility to make it a strong contender for fleet deployments, with enough options to please a wide range of business-user needs.
