TL;DR: For a limited time, you can get a near-mint condition HP Elitebook 840 laptop with 16GB RAM and an Intel Core i5 processor for just $319.97 (reg. $410). This sale only lasts through July 21.
Refurbished computers come in all shapes and prices, but what good is an affordable computer if you can't use it for anything? This HP EliteBook 840 has hardware suitable for school or office work, and you can score it for $319.97 instead of its usual $410 price.
For a budget laptop, it has some impressive specs, including an Intel processor and twice as much RAM as a typical laptop. While it was originally released in 2018, it's a genuine laptop, not a Chromebook.
What's under the hood?
This model comes with Windows 10 pre-installed and has a 14-inch HD display. That's some good screen real estate that doesn't make it hard to carry your computer around. The battery has up to a 14-hour capacity.
The grade "A" refurb rating means this machine is in near-mint condition. There might be some super minimal signs of wear (faint wear patterns on the case not visible from more than a foot away), but that's it. Even the battery has at least 80% capacity.
A computer made in 2018 probably isn't going to be a great fit for graphically intense apps for art or design. Where this machine can still shine is with the basics. Students don't need to get an expensive machine just to write essays or respond to emails. And professionals don't need a pricey PC if they're only running Microsoft Office. Still, with 16GB of RAM and a decent processor, it's still more powerful than most laptops in this price range.
Other noteworthy specs include the 256GB SSD, the 1.7GHz Intel Core i5-835U processor, and an overall weight of just 3.26 pounds. It's also got plenty of ports to keep all your devices connected.
