HP EliteBook 840 G11 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 360

The Verdict

HP EliteBook 840 G11 targets business professionals with premium build quality and portability, weighing just 1.38 kg in a compact 14-inch form factor. Its 1920x1200 WUXGA IPS display offers sharper vertical resolution than the Galaxy Book4's 1920x1080 panel, though the Samsung counters with a larger 15.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen featuring 120Hz refresh rates. Performance-wise, the Samsung's Core Ultra 7 155H with 16 cores edges the HP's 12-core Core Ultra 7 165U in multicore tasks, but the HP holds stronger single-thread performance for responsive everyday use. Battery capacity favors Samsung at 68Wh versus 51Wh, though both claim 14-hour mixed use. The HP runs Windows 11 Pro for business features, while Samsung includes Home edition. Storage is identical at 512GB NVMe, but HP allows expansion while Samsung does not. The EliteBook's aluminum construction and 17.9mm profile feel premium, while Samsung's 2-in-1 convertible design adds versatility at the expense of 0.27kg extra weight. Connectivity is nearly equivalent, though Samsung adds an extra USB-C port. For business users prioritizing durability and portability, the EliteBook 840 G11 is the stronger choice. Those wanting creative flexibility with a touch-convertible screen and larger display should consider the Galaxy Book4 360, especially given its $200 lower price.
