Expert Review & User Experience

From a UX perspective, the HP EliteBook 640 G10 offers a strong mix of performance, security, and portability for UK professionals.

The 13th Gen Intel processors and upgradeable RAM options ensure smooth multitasking, whether it’s handling spreadsheets, video calls, or multiple browser tabs. While the integrated graphics won’t handle design-heavy or gaming workloads, they’re perfectly fine for professional use.

The 14-inch anti-glare display is comfortable for long working hours, though brightness and colour range are modest — best for office rather than creative tasks.

Security is a real strength. With HP Wolf Security, TPM 2.0, and biometric login options, businesses handling sensitive data can trust this device.

At just over 1.4 kg, it’s lightweight for a business laptop, making it suitable for hybrid working or frequent travel. The port selection is excellent, offering modern Thunderbolt 4 alongside legacy ports like HDMI and Ethernet, which many business users still rely on.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Premium, durable aluminium build
• Strong business security features (HP Wolf, TPM, biometric login)
• Wide range of configurations to suit performance and budget need
• Excellent connectivity with both USB-C/Thunderbolt and legacy ports
• Lightweight and portable for a 14-inch business laptop

Cons:

• Display brightness and colour range only average — not ideal for creative professionals
• Integrated graphics only (not for heavy graphics workloads)
• Entry-level configurations (8GB RAM / 256GB SSD) may feel underpowered
• Higher-end models can become expensive 

Verdict & Buying Advice

For UK professionals, the HP EliteBook 640 G10 strikes the right balance between performance, security, and portability. It’s ideal for businesses and individuals who need a reliable, secure laptop for office and hybrid working.

To maximise value, aim for at least 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD storage. Avoid the lower base models if you need long-term performance.

If your priority is a secure, travel-friendly, and professional-grade laptop, the EliteBook 640 G10 is one of the best options in 2025.
