Late in 2017 at its Reinvent event (HP's largest global partner conference), the US-based company outlined its vision to design solutions for the way people now work and live, with the introduction of new premium laptops and all-in-ones, along with displays and accessories.
Back in September, HP announced some new PCs from its Elite lineup, which is its brand for business devices . Alongside the EliteOne all-in-one series, there were two new laptops: the EliteBook 1020 x360, and the EliteBook 1040.
HP Inc is now on to the fourth generation of its 14-inch Elitebook 1040 , a sure sign that the design is a winning formula worthy of regular refreshes. Back in 2014, I reviewed the first generation of this notebook, judging it "every inch a business executive's ultrabook".

terrible webcam; a bit heavy for its class; display brightness is uneven; keyboard clatter can be loud; sorely lacks option for dedicated GPU
The fourth generation of HP's 14-inch business slimline combines a muscle-car CPU with luxury-car conveniences to create a highly appealing executive laptop.
Bright; sharp display; Speedy quad-core CPU; Crisp keyboard with Skype function keys; 12.5-hour battery life; Impressive sound
Not cheap; Clumsy cursor arrow keys; No SD card slot
The HP EliteBook 1040 G4 we tested is a very capable business ultraportable, with sleek styling, a powerful processor, an excellent display, and long battery life. Unfortunately, all of those capabilities come at a high price, which makes it uncompetitive with mainstream business laptops like the...
Full HD touch screen gets very bright; Comfortable keyboard has built-in Skype for Business controls; Core i7 delivers good computing performance; Long battery life
Included software is glitchy; Pricey as configured
