About The Entry

The HP EliteBook 1040 G11 series, available in both clamshell and x360 form factors, is a versatile business laptop designed for professionals seeking performance, security, and sustainability.

AI-Driven Power and Security:

Both models are powered by Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated NPUs and HP SmartSense AI, providing AI-driven processing that optimizes power and efficiency. This technology allows the devices to deliver up to 20 hours of battery life, operate up to 40% quieter, and achieve up to 132% faster AI video editing and 80% better graphics performance than previous generations. They also feature HP Wolf Security for Business, providing advanced, hardware-enforced protection, safeguarding the devices from modern threats.

Portable, Versatile Design:

The EliteBook 1040 G11 clamshell model is a 17.55mm-thin, 1.18kg laptop that offers exceptional portability, while the EliteBook x360 1040 G11 is a 16mm-thin, 1.38kg 2-in-1 notebook that provides added versatility with a 360-degree hinge, flush Gorilla Glass screen, and responsive pen interaction. This dual offering caters to difference use cases: a traditional laptop experience or a more interactive tablet mode for creative output. Both models feature a sleek Magnesium chassis with a borderless display and color-matched, super matte keyboard to reduce visual clutter and glare.

Advanced Audio Features:

The laptops are equipped with PolyStudio tuned speakers, SNR studio microphones, and AI-enhanced audio features like Noise Reduction, Dynamic Voice Leveling, and automatic framing. They also include a one-touch power button, integrated fingerprint reader, and quick serviceability with an easy-to-remove back cover.

Eco-Friendly Construction:

The EliteBook 1040G11 series emphasizes sustainability with over 70% of all major parts made from recycled materials, including recycled magnesium, fishing nets, cooking oil, CDs, DVDs, and Ocean-Bound Plastic. Both models are EPEAT Gold registered, and ENERGY STAR certified, ensuring a minimal ecological footprint.

With a commitment to sustainability and innovative AI features, the HP EliteBook 1040 G11 series offers powerful, secure, and eco-friendly solutions for the modern professional.
