SURGICAL UPGRADES

To maximize the utility of your investment and keep your workflow uninterrupted, Tijad Tech Solutions recommends these targeted additions:

Speed Enhancement for Variant 1: If you opt for the KES 21,000 Core i5 HDD model for budget reasons, our service technicians can later upgrade you to an internal 256GB/512GB SSD to boost data access speeds.
Storage Expansion for Variant 2: For the high-speed Core i7 256GB SSD configuration, pair your unit with a 1TB External Hard Drive to back up large datasets, client files, and system images.
Peripheral Precision: Pair the laptop with a Logitech Silent Wireless Mouse to improve navigation through large accounting ledgers and databases.
Commuter Protection: Preserve the finish with a 14-inch heavy-duty padded laptop sleeve to safeguard against scuffs during transit across town.

HDD vs. SSD Variant Breakdown

Selecting the right configuration depends entirely on your daily workload:

The Core i5 / 500GB HDD Option (KES 21,000): Offers a massive storage bank for students or administrative staff needing to store large batches of PDFs, local records, and software archives without paying a premium.
The Core i7 / 256GB SSD Option (KES 23,500): At just KES 2,500 more, the addition of a solid-state drive eliminates application load delays, boots Windows in under 15 seconds, and handles multitasking smoothly thanks to the higher boost clocks of the Core i7 processor.

Enterprise Port Selection: No Adapters Needed

Many modern laptops eliminate legacy ports, forcing you to purchase expensive dongles. The EliteBook 840 G2 features built-in VGA and DisplayPort video outputs along with 4 full-sized USB 3.0 ports and a dedicated RJ-45 Ethernet port, making it immediately compatible with legacy conference room projectors, local office networks, and standard peripherals anywhere in Kenya.
