https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/laptops/hp-elitebook-8440p

this is a review of the laptop when it was brand new
this laptop is from 2010
the cpu is 2 core and probably second generation
it is in the same class of the thinkpad t410
it has no gpu

imho, this laptop will only be good for basic stuff. browsing nairaland or word processing
you will have a miserable time with any graphics applications, unless you are able to install legacy/older versions of photoshop or other graphics applications

the hard drive is over 10 years old and will soon fail on you. - this is guaranteed
if you want to run , not walk or crawl windows 10, you need to max out the ram to 8gb

do not be deceived by the sleek look, this is an overpriced dinosaur and you are being ripped off by a greedy hustler

if you want to buy a laptop that will not give you pain down the line, go for one that is at most five years old

6th or 7th generation i5 or i7
ddr4 ram


check jiji to get an idea of the actual price of this laptop

check very well

i personally will strongly advise you against this.
an underpowered pc is real misery if you are a serious user.
does not matter all times

I used a probook 6570B
2011 or thereabouts laptop for both graphic design and photoedit( photoshop)
And it work just well
Adobe2022 man

The only limitations i think i have is neither ram nor processor but the screen resolution at(HD+). If u doing anything graphics, photography pls get nothing less than (1080p screen,FHD) or higher..


for video editing and animation Then the real big spec can come in...will definitely fail in areas like GPU, Processor and the likes

Ignore the maximum storage line on the advert.

Laptop is a 4gb RAM, 320gb mechanical spinning hard disk drive, 1st gen intel i5 laptop. Screen is 14.1 inches. Resolution is 1366 X 768px. It was launched in 2010.

Battery lasted 4 hours when brand new on windows 7. Two hours after 12 years is fair.

You might learn basic web programming with it. You should not plan on doing mobile apps development with it as the 4gb (8gb after upgrade ) would freeze intermittently on simulator loads.

For graphics, it would be better to get a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. This does not have. It would load but you would spend more time and heat doing basic stuffs.

Web development. HTML, CSS, Javascript then a library after some months. Load VS Code, Download Firefox Developer Edition and you are good to go.

For graphics, i would be looking at another system in 2022.

whats laptop will you recommend for graphics sir

Re: What Valuable Digital Skill Can I Acquire With This Laptop? by luvly4luv(m): 10:54pm On Jun 21, 2022
Exactly the laptop I bought 3 years ago for my sports arbitrage business, though I increased my ram to 8GB and HDD to 500GB, and windows 10 OS. I also upgraded the battery to a 2 in 1 extended battery that gave me up to 4hrs even on WiFi.

I started sports arbitrage with USD 305, but after 4 months I started cashing out USD 1000 at almost monthly basis.

But you really need to learn and work hard to master arbitrage.

Good laptop, good buy. Mine is still sound and working though i notice one of the speakers is not functioning recently and you need change battery after a year or so.

What I'm about to reveal to you is controversial.

Infact, I don't expect you to agree with me.

But I must warn you...there are some group of people this incredible system is not met for.

And as you read further, you'll get to see if you're one of them.

This Hunky Royalty System is programmed to mint $150-$1000 per month for you if you're ready to dedicate 2hours of your time daily to it.

You see...

For 28 years...no one in Nigeria was able to figure out how to take advantage of this "Unique Royalty System" with their mobile devices.

In April, 2022...$45.1million was paid to individuals who were already taking advantage of this Unique system...

Spending just 2hours daily on their smartphone.

Infact, this "Hunky Royalty System" owned by a US company is expected to become No 1 retail company in the world by June, 2024.

According to CNBC...

The company is currently on the road to enticing social media creators all over the world to join their influence program which was launched in 2017.

But like I said before...this opportunity is not for everybody.

If you're looking for a get rich quick scheme...This Unique Royalty System is not for you!

If you work 8:00am to 9:00pm daily...this opportunity is not for you as well.

And with the company market share at 14.9% which is currently the largest in the world...

It is only expected to increase by 38% in 2025.

This same company made "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki the No 1 personal finance book of all time.

It also made "50 shades of Grey" by E.L. James the best seller of all time.
How can you join this special group of people who are already taking advantage of this unique system?

How can you get to know from A to Z how this unique opportunity works...so you can get started right away?

It is simple.

But first, I will have to ask you few questions to see if you qualify.

Once you qualify, I will grant you access or send an invitation to you.

NobleDeSage001:
The specifications of the laptop as you indicated shows that it's a good PC.

You can proceed and purchase it as it will serve your need in graphic designs.

Graphic design with 4G ram? That's low, start with python programming, proceed to Java or c#.

Alternatively you can do Javascript.

I am also a total novice when it comes to system usage, wanted to get one and when my cash got completed I asked for it but was told it's no longer in stock, which model can you suggest with a dedicated praphics card.

The ones I screenshoted pending when my money will be complete are these. But both are no longer in stock.
GloriousGbola, how about this?

You can start web development, start with HTML, CSS, PHP & JavaScript, in two years from now with your full dedication you should be building website on your own comfortably. Graphic design is also added skill but web development or developer will be more profitable. You'll be lucky if you have enough age on you, but it doesn't really matter.

This dude is not really looking for any skill to learn with the laptop he posted. It's just a soft marketing skill to advertise the Instagram page that sells those laptops. Commentors you may reserve your efforts now.
