Beauty and a beast. The EliteBook 1040 G4 now offers Intel's Core i7-7820HQ. The quad-core processor is quite a step up from most ultrabook CPUs, but how does it compare to more powerful devices and Intel's own 8th-gen Kaby Lake R silicon...

Why has Lenovo started offering ThinkPad business notebooks in silver as well as matte black? Maybe to fend off competition from HP EliteBooks, which had silver first. Certainly the EliteBook 1040 G4 is a business laptop that can compete with anything on...

More than $2,000 is a lot to spend on a non-workstation business laptop, but HP makes a case for doing just that with its new EliteBook 1040 G4 (starts at $1,379; $2,099 as tested), a 14-inch ultraportable with remote management and security features that...

My biggest, and probably my only complaint about the EliteBook 1040 G4 would be that WorkWise doesn't work at this time. I think that's a really useful feature for businesses, and it should run in parallel with PhoneWise.Other than that, this PC is a deli...
