HP EliteBook 840 G11 vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra

The Verdict

HP EliteBook 840 G11 targets business users prioritizing portability and value, while Samsung Galaxy Book4 Ultra caters to creative professionals needing raw power and premium features. The EliteBook weighs just 1.38 kg with a compact 14-inch 1920 x 1200 display, making it ideal for frequent travelers who value battery longevity (up to 14 hours). Its Intel Core Ultra 7 165U delivers solid everyday performance, 512 GB storage, and full Windows 11 Pro for enterprise environments. The Galaxy Book4 Ultra, at 1.86 kg, features a substantially larger 16-inch 2880 x 1800 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X touchscreen that's visibly sharper and more vibrant for design work or content creation. Its Intel Core Ultra 9 185H with 16 cores provides noticeably faster performance, double the storage (1 TB), and includes an SD card slot. However, it runs Windows 11 Home rather than Pro and costs 55 percent more. The EliteBook excels in portability, battery life, and business features, while the Galaxy Book4 Ultra dominates in display quality and processing power. For business travel and productivity tasks, the EliteBook offers superior value. For creative professionals who can justify the premium, the Galaxy Book4 Ultra's screen and performance justify the investment.
