Elitebook 1040 G8 X360 Core i7, 16GB Ram, 256GB SSD Touchscreen 14 Inches - Silver

The EliteBook x360 1040 G8's 14-inch screen nestles inside bezels that, while not the smallest, are still pretty tight, so that the overall desktop footprint is just 30.37cm by 19.39cm. It's pretty thin at 1.61cm, and couldn't get much thinner and still allow space for full-size ports. Perhaps a shade could be taken off the thickness of the lid, but the trade-off here is a very solid screen section which I found impossible to flex.  

If all this sounds a little workaday, then it's worth noting that there are small angled nicks out of the back short edges and the corresponding lid edges, which create a V-shaped finish to the back of the chassis. It's a small feature, but distinctive.  

When you finally get the chance to travel or commute, the EliteBook x360 1040 G8 will slip neatly into the smallest of backpacks or cases, and it's relatively light at 1.21kg. The power supply is mid-sized and not particularly heavy. 

It's easy to move from laptop to tent or tablet mode, and the hinges are solid enough to hold the screen in any required orientation. It's always a concern when the keyboard doesn't lock out for tablet use: it's recessed enough to sit safely on a desktop, but holding the EliteBook x360 1040 G8 in one hand will inevitably apply pressure to the keys which could, over time, cause a problem. That's not unique to this laptop, of course, but something to be aware of nonetheless.
