The HP EliteBook 640 Series spans three generations built for corporate IT refresh cycles: the G9 (2022), G10 (2023), and G11 (2024). It is HP's mainstream 14-inch business notebook, the workhorse tier below the ultraportable 840 and 860 lines, aimed at companies and professionals who want Intel processing power, a serviceable chassis, and full-size ports without paying for the thinnest possible build. Because it ships in bulk to fleets and comes off lease in steady waves, there is consistent demand for clean units in the secondary market, especially configurations with the newer Core Ultra silicon. Pick your generation, processor, and condition in the configuration picker above for an instant cash offer, or see how the process works to understand what happens after you accept a quote. If you have more than one unit to move, from a fleet retirement or an office upgrade, you can also sell your laptop through the same flow.

Confirm you have the EliteBook 640

The fastest way to confirm your exact generation is through Windows itself. Press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The System Summary window lists the exact "System Model" line, which will read something like "HP EliteBook 640 14 inch G9 Notebook PC," "G10," or "G11." The sticker on the underside of the chassis, near the regulatory text, also lists the product number and serial number if the unit will not power on.

EliteBook 640 G9 (2022)

  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 12th Gen (Alder Lake)
  • Ships with Windows 11 Pro as the standard OS
  • System Model string reads "G9 Notebook PC"

EliteBook 640 G10 (2023)

  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 13th Gen (Raptor Lake)
  • Same 14-inch chassis as the G9 with minor internal revisions
  • System Model string reads "G10 Notebook PC"

EliteBook 640 G11 (2024)

  • Intel Core Ultra 5 or Ultra 7, Series 1 (Meteor Lake)
  • First 640 generation with a dedicated NPU for on-device AI features
  • System Model string reads "G11 Notebook PC"

Prefer a visual check? All three generations share the same silver aluminum lid and deck, so appearance alone will not separate them. Check the keyboard deck near the hinge for a small "Core Ultra" badge on the G11, and look for a Copilot key on the keyboard, present only on G11 units built after the feature rolled out.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • Intel Core i5, 12th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 12th Gen
  • Intel Core i5, 13th Gen
  • Intel Core i7, 13th Gen
  • Intel Core Ultra 5, Series 1
  • Intel Core Ultra 7, Series 1

Graphics

  • Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics on the G9 and G10 configurations
  • Intel Arc integrated graphics on the Core Ultra-based G11 configurations
  • No discrete GPU option on this line, it is built for business productivity, not gaming or GPU rendering

Memory

  • DDR5 memory across all three generations
  • Two SODIMM slots on the board, one of the few EliteBook lines that keeps memory user-upgradable rather than soldered
  • A Core Ultra chip paired with a maxed-out memory config is the strongest combination for resale, since IT buyers weight the newer NPU-equipped silicon heavily

Storage

  • Single M.2 2280 PCIe NVMe SSD slot
  • Storage is swappable, so a drive upgrade before selling is straightforward if you want to boost the offer

Display & audio

The 14-inch panel runs at Full HD (1920 x 1080) across all three generations, with an anti-glare finish standard on business builds. Some fleet orders included an HP Sure View privacy screen option, which darkens the viewing angle for open-office use.

Dual speakers sit above the keyboard, paired with dual-array microphones tuned for video calls rather than media playback. This is a conferencing-first audio setup, not a media laptop.

A fingerprint reader is standard, and most configurations add an IR camera for Windows Hello facial login. A discrete TPM 2.0 chip backs both, which matters for corporate buyers running BitLocker or similar disk encryption.

Ports & connectivity

The EliteBook 640 keeps a full-size port selection rather than trimming down for thinness, which is part of why IT departments favor it over the 840 for desk-bound roles.

Battery, build & more

Battery: A long-life internal battery with HP Fast Charge support, which restores a meaningful charge in a short plug-in window, a feature IT departments specifically ask for.

Finishes: A silver aluminum chassis across all three generations, with a matte deck finish that resists fingerprints better than glossy consumer laptops.

Software: Ships with Windows 11 Pro and HP Wolf Security preloaded on most fleet configurations, aimed at centralized IT management rather than home use.

Market positioning: This series moves in steady volume as corporate leases expire, so demand stays consistent for clean units, particularly the Core Ultra-based G11 configurations, which appeal to buyers wanting AI-ready hardware without paying premium-tier prices.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Open the Run dialog with Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter. The System Summary screen lists your exact System Model (G9, G10, or G11), processor, and installed memory. If the laptop will not boot, flip it over and read the product and serial numbers printed on the bottom sticker, then look those up through HP's support site or our model finder tool.
02 How do I tell it apart from the EliteBook 645?
The EliteBook 645 is the AMD Ryzen sibling of this same chassis, and the two look nearly identical from the outside. Run msinfo32 and check the processor field: anything listing an Intel Core i5, i7, or Core Ultra chip is a 640-series unit, while an AMD Ryzen processor means you have a 645. The System Model string itself will also say "645" instead of "640" if you have the AMD variant.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a cracked screen, weak battery, or a locked account?
Yes, damaged and non-functional units are accepted, and the condition picker above accounts for cracked screens, battery wear, and units that will not power on. The one requirement is that any Microsoft account lock or BitLocker encryption tied to your organization's identity must be removed before shipping, since a locked device cannot be tested or resold. If IT provisioned the laptop, confirm it has been unenrolled from your company's device management before you ship it.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
Generation and processor tier matter most, a Core Ultra-based G11 will quote higher than a 12th Gen G9 in similar condition, since buyers want the newer NPU-equipped silicon. After that, cosmetic condition of the lid and deck, a healthy battery, and having the original HP charger all push the offer up. A clean Windows install with no personal accounts left on it also speeds up processing.
05 How do I erase it, remove my accounts, and get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC, and choose "Remove everything" to wipe the drive. Before you do, remove the device from your Microsoft account under Settings → Accounts, and if BitLocker is enabled, suspend it so the reset completes cleanly. If the laptop was managed by an employer, confirm IT has removed it from any mobile device management enrollment first. Once accepted, shipping is free and insured, and payment goes out after inspection by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full erasure steps and verification standards are on our data erasure protocols page.
