HP EliteBook 840 G8 14", Intel Core i5-1145G7, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD (Renewed)

Shipping was fast, laptop arrived basically as described. Laptop came in its original box and quite honestly looked to be brand new. Device still has warranty thought HP and even came with touch screen. I've only had it for a day, but I would say as long as everything stays the same it's a great buy and highly recommend.

you spray painted the back panel to cover any wear. The text that a normal, from the factory, model has etched on the case is covered up by paint. Staff even sprayed paint into the vent which got into the fan, the motherboard, and even on the pins where the expansion card slot is.The metal covers that protect the RAM and SSD are also missing. Same goes for the little cover over the WWAN port. The hinge on the screen is also weak.I wanted to say I like this, but I don't. I wanted to gift it to my mother. No way am I letting something this laptop go to my mom.Company can have this back.Stay away, anyone wanting to buy.

Ordered a refurbished laptop that was supposed to be excellent or like new condition. When I received it the up arrow button cover was missing.Unfortunately it took over a week for the product to ship to me. Classes are getting ready to start so I don't have time to order a replacement and wait on the new one to arrive. Had I known the product would arrive missing a key cover I would have taken my chances and ordered a cheaper refurbished version.

The laptop itself, as a model, is exactly what I was looking for. Not too heavy, not too light. Small enough to throw in my backpack so I can bring it with me to do a bit of work or write. Problem is, I couldn't type on several of the keys without washing them multiple times, while several other keys I would lightly press once and they would type two or three of the same characters in a row. I usually don't have a problem using refurbished electronics, someone somewhere put in new parts tested, and gave it the ok. In this case, either the tests didn't check to make sure all the keys worked or tester didn't. Based on the paper with check marks the laptop came with, seems like it was the tests as there was no keyboard test listed. It was such a problem I didn't bother finishing the windows setup before deciding to return it, couldn't even type in a password without trouble. Just a frustrating experience overall. Would recommend avoiding buying refurbished if you're not willing to gamble on this sort of bad quality repair. Two stars to give credit to the laptop model itself, recommend buying new.
