It’s not every day you see a Windows laptop with 32GB of RAM priced under $300, but Newegg’s official eBay store is making it happen right now. The HP EliteBook 845 G8 is available for just $260.99, provided you’re okay with it being a refurbished unit. For shoppers who normally peg a solid deal at 16GB for around $500, this one’s a rare find.
Of course, there are trade-offs. The EliteBook 845 G8 is based on older hardware, using AMD’s Ryzen Pro 5650U CPU with six cores from the 2021 Zen 3 generation, paired with DDR4 memory instead of DDR5. Storage is another limitation — just 256GB of SSD space, which feels cramped by modern standards. But the 32GB of RAM helps compensate, giving you enough headroom for heavy multitasking, development work, or simply running a mountain of browser tabs without slowdown.
Upgradability is another plus. Unlike many modern thin-and-light laptops, this EliteBook gives you access to its internals with a few screws, making it easy to pop in a larger SSD if you need more storage. Beyond that, the basics are covered: a 14-inch 1080p display, dual USB-C and USB-A ports, and full-size HDMI for quick video output. The three-cell battery likely won’t set any endurance records, but that’s forgivable considering the price point.
The laptop comes with a 1-year warranty handled by Allstate rather than HP, which is a slight downside. Still, when you consider the amount of memory packed into this machine and the sub-$300 price tag, this deal easily outshines most refurbished options. If you’re interested, you’ll want to move quickly before the listing disappears.
