Amazing! Snag this HP laptop with 16GB of RAM for just $325
Okay, bargain hunters, settle in. This is probably the best deal I’ve seen on a Windows laptop all year. Right now, eBay is selling the HP EliteBook 845 G8—already a budget design—for just $325. That gets you 16GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5 processor, 512GB of storage, and a 14-inch screen. It’s just about impossible to beat for the price.
There’s one fly in this ointment, though. The laptop is refurbished and it’s being sold by a third-party seller on eBay. They’re including a two-year Allstate warranty, which is nice, but such warranties can sometimes be a bit of a hassle to actually use when needed.
That foible aside, I really can’t overstate how good of a deal this is if you’re looking for a super-cheap laptop that can handle Windows 11 smoothly. Both the Ryzen 5 processor and the DDR4 RAM are on the older side, but it should still be more than enough to run modern browsers without a hitch, including streaming high-res video and a little light gaming (thanks to AMD’s excellent integrated graphics).
And the laptop isn’t hurting for ports, with two USB-C ports (which can technically charge the laptop but apparently it’s a bit iffy), two USB-A ports, and full-sized HDMI. The screen is not touch-enabled, but it is a 1080p IPS panel. That’s good enough for me.
This isn’t showing as some kind of special promotion or timed sale on eBay, so this HP laptop deal might last a while. That said, super-deep discounts on inexpensive tech tend to make them sell quickly. If you’ve been waiting for an affordable, decently powerful Windows laptop below the $500 mark, you might want to snag this one quickly.
This HP laptop with solid specs is a fantastic deal for $325
