The HP EliteBook 1040 G8 represents the most capable generation in the 1040 series until the Alder Lake models arrived. Powered by the Intel Core i7-1165G7 — Tiger Lake 11th Gen with Intel Iris Xe graphics — this machine scores meaningfully higher than any 8th or 10th-gen chip in both CPU and GPU benchmarks. You get 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM and a substantial 1TB NVMe SSD, all inside HP's signature slim aluminum body at 1.37 kg. The 14-inch display comes with HP's UWVA panel (ultra-wide viewing angle IPS) — sharper, brighter, and more accurate than a standard IPS in this class. At Rs. 1,45,000, this is the HP EliteBook 1040 G8 price in Pakistan 2026 — justified by the hardware jump.
Tiger Lake: the real performance story
The i7-1165G7 is not a subtle upgrade. Tiger Lake brought PCIe Gen 4 for storage (sequential reads pushing past 3,000 MB/s on the 1TB drive), Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics that are roughly 2× faster than UHD 620, Thunderbolt 4 on USB-C ports, and significantly better AI acceleration. Practically, that translates to faster video renders, smooth 4K playback, capable light photo editing in Lightroom, and noticeably snappier overall response even with many browser tabs open. The 1TB SSD also means you stop managing storage — install your OS, software, and projects without worrying about running out.
