HP Elite x360 1040 G11 2-in-1 review: For the business road warrior

[Redaktion]

The HP Elite 1000 family is lauded for its portability and auxiliary features that business users can appreciate. The latest Elite x360 1040 G11 continues the trend, but a bigger cooling solution probably wouldn't hurt to keep those core temperatures down.

Are producers sending you the worst display options just to inflate battery life numbers?
Indirect review influence?

Seriously 1500USD+ device with an LCD, 16GB soldered RAM and 512 storage? What year are we in?

A picture of the stylus pen and some words about its handling/quality would be nice.

[16 GB soldered RAM, wt..]

The original price of 2800 and only 16 GB soldered RAM is trolling at the highest level. Will age like milk. 7467 MT/s is nice and all (well it's ok, 9500 MT/s would be nice), but only 16 GB is a joke [for the price].

And again: The 7467 MT/s don't justify the RAM being soldered, even 10000 MT/s wouldn't, since MT/s, or any other RAM metric, doesn't compensate for the lack of capacity. Looks more like planned obsolescence. Same planned obsolescence with Lenovo T14s AMD: G2, G3, G4 and Dell Latitude 9440, 9450. Instead I may get an EliteBook Ryzen 6000 (Zen3+,RDNA2) series. I'm not buying your soldered-only-32-GB-RAM planned obsolescence ****. If it was at least 48 GB RAM or, better, 64 GB RAM, it would be different, but even with 64 GB RAM the 2800 price is still (way) too much (even now with the 3x higher RAM prices because of AI). Also RAM can go bad and if it's soldered, one can't replace it.
16 GB RAM soldered don't allow me to upgrade to more RAM and run even the Gpt-Oss-20B LLM, let alone the bigger and better ones.
Even on Steam, soon 32 GB RAM will be the majority (see monthly Steam Hardware Survey).
