HP's EliteBook x360 1040 G8 is a sleek business notebook for the security minded

At 1.32kg HP claims that the EliteBook X360 1040 G8 is the thinnest and lightest business convertible with a high screen to body ratio, and it is sleek looking in silver grey, with chamfered corners and edges for a diamond-like theme. Pop it open, and you're greeted with a nearly bezelless 14-inch IPS touchscreen, which is Full-HD with 400 nits brightness in our review unit, but also available with UHD and 1,000 nits options. There's a 4-speaker Bang & Olufsen system for decent audio, while 4 microphones and a hybrid 1080p webcam/IR sensor handles your video calls and face detection.
