Got this laptop used but whith an i5 4210u. Very good machine. Has a fingerprint sensor and a card reader, supports sim cards for internet out of the box. Very nice box for a software developer on the go. The tracker in the middle reminds me of those old IBM thinkpads. Backlight is a cool feature
my finger does not work
I just bought this exact laptop with the 4th gen i5 processor because my Aspire i3 which I bought brand new in 2021 was water damaged. For a 10 year old laptop it's held up solidly for now
is ti good I am thinking about buying it.
Hi. How did the backlit worked?
Hey Carlos thanks I'm glad I found this review! I'm in between a rock and a hard place. I can buy this laptop refurbished for $294. 00. The specs are good but the age concerns me, should I buy this or take that money and buy a brand new device for eg. An Asus Vivo book you know something average, but new?
Hey Anton! Thanks for checking out the video! That's really a good question. For a computer in today's era, you need something that has at least 8 GB of ram (16 GB max). Upgrading to a 2.5 inch SSD drive or even M.2 SSD will increase speed as well. The Intel HD Graphics 4400 / AMD Radeon HD 8750M (if equipped) GPUs will allow for web browsing, video playing, and basic games from today's era. While I'm not familiar with Asus, I did some research on their laptops, such as the VivoBook 14 F412DA. That computer, for example, can hold up to 12 GB of ram and uses an SSD. Its AMD Ryzen 5 3500U Vega 8 GPU should be expected to match or outperform the Intel GPU in the HP. Asus reliability does seem good, and of course, the new laptop should be expected to have a warranty if anything does go wrong. On the other hand, the 840 G1 is an aging computer, probably with no active factory warranties. Still, it's easier to repair in my opinion. Also, the VivoBook 14 I was looking at was found on Amazon, currently having a price of $515. When new, the 840 G1 appeared to have price ranging between $1000 to $2000 at the time. This positions the computer as a higher level unit. This, in turn plays on the adage "You get what you pay for". $1000 got a computer that has worked for at least 6 to 7 years. Another example of this is the Latitude D430, going for $1200 new in 2008, still working today.
Ultimately, for a budget, the Asus computer is good for something reliable that you may be able to upgrade in a few years. A refurbished 840 G1 for a low price will get you through the next few years, and may continue to work after that, but may no longer be practical to use, like my relative's HP Pavilion 3100 from 1997. Still works and does everything it's supposed to, but is virtually useless in today's time. Will an Asus VivoBook still work in say, 2027? Only time will tell how long these laptops will last.
@@carlosjanevlogs9322 Thank you for the insight it's much appreciated!! I bought the HP Laptop and let you know what my experience with it is😁
@@antonkrog843 update sir? l am also considering buying the 840 G1. browsing, work load, etc how does it feel? performance, etc?
@@joon-young9589 Hi there, I bought the 840 G2. Nothing compare to that things speed it’s the best investment I’ve tech wise ever. It’s LAG FREE and trust me I push it , I’ve been using it now for 6 months not a second I regret it
Hi. Please reply.
Is it touch screen?
Hello,can it be used for UI UX design softwares
How long does it last?
sir what is the price of this laptop
Does it have an HDMI port for connection to an external monitor?
It does not have a built-in HDMI port, it has built-in VGA and display port. You can always use a HDMI dongle, ofcourse.
does it support high graphical/editing/other related stuff?
It can handle low end graphical related programs, but it will start to heat up. More memory and a fast SSD will go a long way!
Nah youll need something better for that
@@carlosjanevlogs9322 Does it run still on Windows 8/8.1??
@@jsplinc2000 You Can Update it to windows 10
legend says the Ms Word is still opening.
lol just a joke
Thanks for clarifying, I thought it wasn't a joke. LOL!!!!!!!
phew thanks for clarifying pew die pie
Hp eliteboob 840 g1 4gb ram vs hp 250 g5 notebook pc 4 gb ram. Which is better
Plz🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏..replay
Hi! The 840 G1 is from 2013, while the 250 G5 appears to be from 2017. The 840 is good if you want a small laptop while the 250 is a larger laptop with a 15.6 inch screen and a keyboard plus number pad. Both laptops can handle up to 16 GB of ram depending on the configuration, but the 840 is easier to upgrade. The 250 G5's advantage is having an optical drive while 840 G1 does not have an optical drive bay. For any computer you choose, you'll want the one with the best CPU. While newer CPUs may have better performance, others, though new, may not be as powerful, depending on the model. Also, 4 GB of ram is okay if you have an SSD, but you'll want to have 8 GB of ram if you have a regular hard drive
840 g1 bro
@@carlosjanevlogs9322 thanks a lot bro
Luv u 💓
@@Study_with_Dheeraj thanks bro
@@carlosjanevlogs9322 bro 1 doubt , which is better for gaming
Im gonna buy this laptop with i5, 240 ssd with 8 gb ram. Is that good for gaming and editing?
Hi! The SSD will help with editing as it can be memory intensive leading to high hard disk usage from the Pagefile compensating for high memory usage. These computers may be able to handle basic games, though they do run hot.
@@carlosjanevlogs9322 the specs are quiet high but why it wont handle such quality gaming
@@carlosjanevlogs9322 could it run autocad,photoshop smoothly? With its i5, 8gb ram and 240 ssd
@@jajajajajaja7590 bro i have the same question do you resolve?
did you buy it? how was the experience in editing!
Yo... you didn't let the pc start well before launching apps
Does it run still on Windows 8/8.1 & is it worth it on last year, 2021??
This computer came out in 2013 /14 I believe, so it's very likely it came with 8 / 8.1, though being a business computer, it may have had Windows 7 on it at one point. When I last had this computer, it was on 10.
Does it support m. 2 2242 nvme?
its 2252 nvme m.2 but the slower msata m.2 ngff cheaper works just enable msata in bios…..nvme is faster
Bro 1 doubt...
Elitebook folio 1040 i5 is good for gaming?????? Plzzzz replay....🙏
Hi! The Elitebook Folio 1040 would appear to have an Intel HD Graphics GPU. These GPUs can handle basic gaming, most of the time, if the graphics settings are low. Anything more than that will have either poor performance or may not run at all.
Just got mine. Is this laptop can run dota2?
Hi bro it's okay for now?
Is this good for coding?
very
Hi, still viable today? Should i buy it?
yes
@@gltwn ok thanks
@@diamondgirls6541 put an M2 sata 2242 ngff SSD in it. Mine runs Windows 11 great
Do still have your computer man? I baught that computer without know anything ,i've regreted my money because it slow down and i am emberassed .i have thaught it broken down then they was made like that.
Ye touch screen h kia
Hi! This particular has the 14-inch diagonal LED-backlit HD+ anti-glare SVA flat screen, but there are some computers which came with the touchscreen! Personally, I'm old school, so I like laptops with anti-glare screens.
yes bro touch screen hai bhoot mast laptop h bro
The fan fact- it's computer ya laptop 😂
My 2009 iMac blows this away
Soooooo slow
hdd :)
My friend has that laptop and hasn’t had any problems with it; she’s actually sending it to me sometime since she doesn’t use it anymore; not everyone has issues with it
