Performance scores
HP EliteBook 830 G8 x360 — a 2021 business convertible with the 64GB formula at $422
A 2021 business convertible at $422, above the $356 class median. Core i5-1145G7 with 64GB of RAM: memory is the registered strength, top quartile. Graphics registers 0; reliability lands at 30 against a 49 median (−39%).
Business-line convertible, memory-first
The EliteBook 830 x360 line brought business security features and a sturdy chassis to the convertible format, and this configuration adds the rare part: 64GB of RAM in a 13-inch-class 2-in-1. The i5-1145G7's four cores feed it capably for office multitasking, heavy browser work, and anything memory-rich that needs no GPU.
The two flags
Graphics at 0 versus a modest 3.84 median — the standard omission. More notable is reliability at −39% under the class median for a 2021 machine: below what its age should suggest, worth a physical inspection before purchase. Neither flag changes the machine's identity; both belong in the buying decision.
Price trajectory
From a $1,500 base, decay has run 10.38% per year to $422, with a projected $339 (−20%) ahead. The above-median price carries the business-line premium and the RAM together.
Against its neighbors
Pricier: the Elite x360 830 G10 ($470) and ThinkPad X1 Yoga Gen 6 ($471) — the G10 being two generations newer for $48 more, a strong alternative. Cheaper: the Pavilion x360 14m-dy1033dx ($372) and Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5 14ALC7 ($395) — consumer-line rivals with less RAM.
Bottom line
A memory-rich business convertible at a mid-tier price. The reliability flag warrants a hands-on check, and the Elite x360 830 G10 at $470 asks a fair question with its newer platform — but for the 64GB-in-a-convertible niche, this machine answers directly.
