HP EliteBook 640 G10 (2023) Review: The Carry Version of the Office Bargain
The EliteBook 640 G10 is the compact sibling of the 650 G10: the same 2023 Intel Core i3 1315U platform with 64 GB of memory at $886. The two machines share a capability sheet almost exactly — the 640 simply packs it into a frame that carries properly.
Where it holds up
Office work scores 91.91 in the top band — the i3 anomaly of this G10 trio — and the 64 GB of memory stands 60 percent above the business-class median of 40 in the pro band. Reliability reads 62, up 45.9 percent on the class, gaming posts a mid-band 64, and portability lands at 71 in the high band, a clear step up from the 650's 46.6. Overwatch, Grand Theft Auto V, Rainbow Six Siege and Visual Studio Code all clear their minimum bars.
Where it falls short
No weakness is flagged, but the sheet floors where its siblings do: photo design at 20 is the lowest axis, with modeling at 29 and engineering CAD at 30 also low-band. Value sits at 22.5 in the low band — the price is budget-tier but so is the measured capability behind it. Overall performance at 45.66 is mid, the honest ceiling of i3 silicon.
Price and depreciation
At $886 this is the joint-budget tier of the batch's business line, identical in price to both platform siblings. The modeled depreciation curve runs at the batch-gentlest 10.62 percent per year; no listing anchor is available for dollar projections.
Alternatives to consider
The EliteBook 650 G10 is the same sheet in a larger chassis with portability dropping from 71 to 46.6 — the 640 is the better carry. The EliteBook 645 G10 at the same $886 switches to AMD Vega 6 silicon and transforms the creative half: photo design jumps from 20 to 82 and modeling reaches 50, though gaming eases from 64 to 44 — the spend-same-money upgrade. One tier up, the EliteBook 640's G11 successor at $1,007 moves to Core Ultra silicon with the graphics column unscored.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The EliteBook 640 G10 packs top-band office work and pro-band memory into the best-carrying frame of the $886 trio — with photo design at 20 and a low value index as the familiar price of the badge tier.
