HP 240 G8 Notebook PC review: Affordable, business-grade, ideal for entrepreneurs and their hybrid staff

The hybrid workplace is now becoming the “new normal” and businesses that thrive under the setup are those ensuring their teams are equipped with the right business laptops. Despite the easing of health mandates, many employees prefer to still do mostly remote work, saying they feel most productive when they’re flexible to work from home, the office, the airport, a café, or even a client’s office. On the flip side, small business owners who are still reeling from the financial blow of the pandemic feel they just can’t compete with that. They either give their hybrid staff inexpensive consumer laptops, which won’t perform as good– or, just oblige the whole team to report back to the office, which can be just as inefficient. Either way, they would be operating handicapped while the big players flourish amid the post-pandemic situation. Resolute as always, however, many entrepreneurs won’t give up the hunt for a budget-friendly laptop that can deliver business-grade performance that would help them secure the future of their business.

One such laptop worth looking into is the HP 240 G8 Notebook PC, from HP Inc. Built to be “budget friendly and business ready” this device has 8 GB RAM, which is enough for virtually all productivity tasks. Well within a consumer laptop’s price range, this laptop offers the same level of performance and long-term usability that on-the-go entrepreneurs and their mobile employees will appreciate.
