📝 Description & Why It Matters

The EliteBook 840 G1’s keyboard is built for professionals and heavy-use environments. The full-pitch layout ensures typing feels familiar and efficient — ideal for long hours of work, reports, or business communication. Backlighting supports low-light use such as in flights or dim meeting rooms. With spill-resistant construction, the keyboard is more resilient than typical consumer models, which means fewer interruptions due to accidental spills. The chiclet design provides a modern and clean typing surface, while the inclusion of advanced pointing devices enhances productivity for users who prefer precision control.
