Refurbished HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 — Core i5 6th Gen, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD

Refurbished & Fully Tested | 6-Month City Gadgets Warranty

The HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G3 represents an earlier chapter of HP's ultra-portable premium line — genuinely thin, light construction paired with a real Intel Core i5 processor, at one of the most accessible price points across our entire ultra-portable catalog. Fully tested and warrantied by City Gadgets Kenya.

The "Folio" Name: HP's Original Ultra-Thin Premium Line

This is worth explaining directly, since it clarifies where this model sits in HP's lineup history. The EliteBook Folio naming predates the standard 1030/1040 branding used in later generations — it represented HP's original push into genuinely ultra-thin, premium business laptop construction, and this G3 configuration carries that same foundational design philosophy at a genuinely accessible refurbished price.
