HP Elite x360 1040 G11 review

HP Elite x360 1040 G11 (2024) Review: The Reliability-First Convertible Grows Up

The Elite x360 1040 G11 is the 2024 refresh of HP's flagship business convertible, moving to an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with 32 GB of memory at $1,084. The H-series chip gives this generation a real step up in sustained capability over its predecessor, while the graphics column on the scoresheet stays conspicuously empty.

Where it holds up

Reliability leads the sheet at 84 — 71.4 percent above the convertible-class median of 49, comfortably in the high band and top quartile. Processor performance follows: 77.18 against a class median of 59.6, up 29.5 percent. The task axes reward the H-series silicon: office work reaches 88.99 in the top band, portability reads 71.9 in the high band, and photo design lands at 35 in the mid band — a recovery from the previous generation's low readings. Overall performance sits mid at 42.65.

Where it falls short

Graphics is the flagged weakness, and the zero in the score column is a coverage gap rather than a measured zero — the panel simply has no matched score for this graphics stack. What the task axes do measure points down, though: gaming reads 19 in the low band, modeling 27, engineering CAD 33, all low-band, so GPU-adjacent work is off the menu. Value sits mid at 44.55, unremarkable for the $1,084 ask.

Price and depreciation

At $1,084 this slots into HP's upper business tier. The modeled depreciation curve for the class runs at 13.87 percent per year; no listing anchor is available for concrete projections.

Alternatives to consider

The Elite X360 830 G11 at the same $1,084 trades to the U-series Core Ultra 5 125U: office drops to 76.51 and photo design to 13, but portability rises to 79.9 and mobility reaches 91 — a lighter, longer-legged machine for less demanding work. Against its own predecessor, the 1040 G10 at $921, this G11 justifies its premium with the top-band office score. Buyers wanting graphics headroom in a convertible should note the OmniBook X Flip pair at $1,275 with Arc 130V silicon — though their gaming readings stay in the low band too.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The Elite x360 1040 G11 is a reliability-led business convertible whose H-series processor pulls office work into the top band — accept the unscored graphics column and low gaming readings as the cost of the chassis.
