Performance scores
The Same Heart, One Year Earlier, $100 Less
The HP EliteBook x360 830 G8 (2020) runs the same i5 1135G7 and 32 GB of memory as its 1030 G8 sibling, in a slightly heavier convertible body. At $566 it is the cheapest way into this platform in the batch, and its value reading of 56.5 — the higher of the two siblings — reflects exactly that.
Where it holds up
CPU performance reads 70 in the high band, 17% above the convertible median of 59.6 — the same strength as the 1030 G8. Portability is high-band at 78.7, memory matches the class median at 32 GB, and the graphics reading of 3.84 lands exactly on the class median: typical, not worse. Performance overall sits mid-band at 41.32, and value reads 56.5 mid-band, a point in its favor over the newer sibling.
Where it falls short
No top weakness is flagged, but the low-band axes deserve numbers: photo design at 17 is the lowest measured axis, with gaming at 23, modeling at 19, and engineering CAD at 22 alongside it. The office score of 60.41 is also only mid-band here — a full ten points below the 1030 G8's 70.41 — which is the practical price of the earlier generation.
Price and depreciation
The listing price is $566. No depreciation baseline is recorded, so no dollar curve is projected; the modeled rate for its cohort is 10.38% per year, marginally gentler than the 1030 G8's 11.12%.
Alternatives to consider
The EliteBook x360 1030 G8 (2021) costs $100 more and buys a lighter 1.21 kg chassis plus a high-band office score of 70.41. The EliteBook 8 Flip G1i (2025) is the modern successor at more than double the price, with 64 GB of memory.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. A high-band CPU, a fair value score, and a mid-band office reading — the sensible-money pick among these convertibles.
