The Refurbished HP EliteBook 840 G8 i5 11th Gen 16GB 256GB Win 11 is a business-class laptop restored through a BSI Kitemark-certified process to BS8887-240 British Standard, making it a dependable choice for professionals who want a capable machine without the cost of new. It suits office and remote workers who need a compact 14-inch workhorse with modern connectivity and a genuine quality guarantee, backed by a one-year parts-and-labour warranty and carbon-neutral-plus certification.
Why this product
BSI Kitemark certified refurbishment process
The restoration meets the BS8887-240 British Standard, independently certified by BSI, giving buyers a verifiable quality benchmark that generic refurbished laptops do not carry.
Cosmetically refreshed to a uniform finish
Top and bottom covers are fully repaired and repainted in the original matte, gloss or soft-touch finish; palm rests, sides and bezels are also refreshed so the machine looks consistent rather than patched.
Grade A screen with new polarizers
Pressure marks are removed and fresh polarizers are fitted, delivering a scratch-free 14-inch Full HD IPS Anti-Glare panel.
Battery capacity guaranteed at 70% or above
Every unit is tested at component level and the battery is guaranteed to hold at least 70% of its original OEM capacity — a stated figure, not an estimate.
Thunderbolt 4 and Wi-Fi 6 connectivity
Two Thunderbolt 4 / USB4 Type-C ports deliver 40 Gbps transfer and DisplayPort 1.4 output, while Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 and Bluetooth 5 handle wireless.
1-year warranty, parts and labour
A full year of coverage is included, which is uncommon in the refurbished market and adds a concrete safety net for business buyers.

Best for
- Business and remote professionals who need a proven enterprise-class 14-inch laptop with modern ports and Wi-Fi 6, at a lower price than new.
- Sustainability-conscious buyers — the product is certified as carbon-neutral plus and restored to a recognised British Standard rather than discarded.
- IT buyers and procurement teams who require documented quality assurance; the BSI Kitemark certification to BS8887-240 provides an auditable standard.
- Everyday productivity and office use — the Intel Core i5-1135G7, 16 GB DDR4 RAM and 256 GB SSD cover word processing, spreadsheets, video calls and web browsing comfortably.
- Buyers who value warranty coverage on a refurbished purchase — a 1-year parts-and-labour warranty is explicitly included.
Trade-offs
- Demanding creative or rendering workloads — the integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics has no dedicated VRAM and is not suited to GPU-intensive video editing, 3D rendering or modern gaming.
- Buyers who need maximum battery endurance — the battery is guaranteed only to hold a minimum of 70% of original OEM capacity, so real-world runtime will be shorter than a new unit.
- Users requiring large local storage — the 256 GB SSD will fill quickly for users who store large media libraries or extensive project files locally.
- Buyers expecting manufacturer new-product warranty coverage — warranty is provided by the refurbisher for 1 year only, not by HP directly.
