Review HP Elite x360 1040 G11
HP Elite x360 1040 G11 · Core Ultra 7 165H · Arc 8-Core
Intel Core Ultra 7 165H · Intel Arc 8-Core iGPU · 16GB LPDDR5x-7467 (soldered) · 512GB SSD (Kioxia XG8) · 14″ 1920×1200 IPS 60Hz · 1.487 kg
Large and comfortable clickpad and keyboard – respectable iGPU performance,
integrated HDMI and USB-A, 5G and Wi-Fi 7 support,
good battery life.
800 and 1000 nit options locked to Sure View, CPU Turbo Boost sustainability could be better,
120 Hz refresh rate limited to OLED option, slow black-white response times,
SSD throttles under load.
Attractive features for the size and class – a powerful business convertible.
