HP EliteBook x360 1040 G6 Laptop Overview
The HP EliteBook x360 1040 G6 is a premium 14-inch 2-in-1 business laptop designed for professionals who want performance, portability and touchscreen flexibility in one device. This refurbished configuration combines an Intel Core i7 vPro processor, 16GB RAM, fast NVMe storage and Windows 11.
Its 360-degree hinge allows you to move between laptop, tablet, tent and stand modes. This makes it a practical choice for office work, presentations, online meetings, note-taking, study and travel. If you need a versatile Core i7 touchscreen laptop in Kenya, the EliteBook x360 offers a good balance between professional features and everyday usability.
Flexible 360-Degree Convertible Design
The strong 360-degree hinge lets the screen fold completely around the keyboard. You can use standard laptop mode for typing, stand mode for presentations, tent mode for watching content or tablet mode for touchscreen navigation.
Its precision-built aluminium design feels more premium than an ordinary plastic laptop while remaining portable enough for regular travel between home, school and the office.
Bright 14-Inch FHD Touchscreen
The 14-inch Full HD touchscreen has a resolution of 1920 × 1080. Its IPS panel provides wide viewing angles, while the 400-nit brightness makes text and images easier to see in brightly lit rooms.
The anti-glare finish helps reduce distracting reflections, and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 adds protection to the touchscreen surface. With 72% NTSC colour coverage, the display produces richer colour than many standard business laptop screens.
The touchscreen can be operated using your fingers and is compatible with the optional HP Rechargeable Active Pen G3. The pen is useful for handwritten notes, signatures, sketches and document annotation but is not included unless specifically stated with the product.
Intel Core i7 vPro Business Performance
The Intel Core i7-8665U processor has four cores, eight processing threads and an 8MB cache. It operates at a base frequency of 1.9GHz and can reach up to 4.8GHz using Intel Turbo Boost Technology when additional performance is required.
This processor is well suited to Microsoft Office, accounting applications, browser-based systems, email, research, online meetings and general business software. Intel vPro support also makes the laptop suitable for compatible managed business environments.
16GB RAM and Fast NVMe Storage
With 16GB of DDR4-2666 memory, this HP business laptop can handle several everyday applications and browser tabs without constantly slowing down. It is a suitable configuration for multitasking, remote work and professional office use.
Important: The memory is onboard and does not have an available upgrade slot. The installed 16GB capacity cannot be expanded.
The 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD provides faster startup, application loading and file access than a traditional hard drive. The SSD can be replaced with a compatible higher-capacity drive if more storage is required.
Intel UHD Graphics 620
Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 handles everyday visual work, Full HD video playback, presentations, web applications and light creative tasks. It can also run basic or older games at suitable settings.
This model is intended primarily as a professional convertible laptop rather than a dedicated gaming or high-end 3D rendering machine.
Thunderbolt and External Display Connectivity
The HP EliteBook x360 1040 G6 provides a useful selection of ports despite its slim design. Its two Thunderbolt USB-C connections support compatible docking stations, high-speed accessories, display output and charging.

- 1 × HDMI 1.4 port

Intel AX201 Wi-Fi 6 provides fast and efficient wireless connectivity when used with a compatible router. Bluetooth 5 can be used to connect wireless mice, headphones, speakers and other supported accessories.
The laptop does not have a built-in full-size Ethernet port. A compatible USB or Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter can be used when a wired network connection is required.
