The earlier gens are definitely bad. I would not even consider 10th gen and earlier unless it's a specifically low power part for specifically low power, headless tasks.
Community Reviews
This refurbished HP EliteBook 830 G8 is a compact business laptop that stands out for its solid aluminum build, backlit keyboard, responsive touchpad, and good Linux support. The 32GB memory and swappable M.2 2280 SSD make it flexible, and the 2.97 pound weight keeps it easy to carry. The main drawbacks are the older 11th gen i7, mediocre battery life, and HP Wolf security, which can be annoying and spike CPU usage. It feels like a capable office machine with some age showing.
Office workers wanting a sturdy daily laptop, because the aluminum chassis feels well built and the keyboard is backlit with a responsive touchpad.
Students or families running school apps and light games, because 32GB RAM and the i7-1185G7 handle Minecraft, Roblox, and everyday multitasking.
Linux tinkerers wanting an easy install, because this model has good Linux support and enough memory to avoid heavy tuning.
Upgraders who want to extend a small SSD later, because it has two SODIMM slots and a replaceable M.2 2280 NVMe drive.
Shoppers expecting a modern CPU platform, because the 11th-gen processor is older and 12th-gen Intel chips are a big step up.
Buyers who need the listed memory spec to mean faster DDR5 performance, because the machine uses DDR4 and the 32GB headline can be misleading.
Heavy battery-life users, because the i7-1185G7 has mediocre runtime and only so-so graphics.
People who want a current-generation refurb, because a newer refurbished option with 32GB RAM exists at a much higher price.

Last week , 2 x 16G DDR4 SODIMM was $120 in Amazon. Now, they are $180. The price of 32G DDR4 at $180, plus 256G SSD at $52, make this laptop more attractive.
Early this week, I ordered a "2 year old" HP Elitebook Refurbished laptop with 16G DDR5 and 256G SSD for almost $600. But I cancelled the order within a few hours, because I did not want to spend another $220 on 16G DDR5. (for the goal of 32G RAM) 16G DDR5 costs at least $220. And 512G ssd costs $85. When I did the math, a 2-year old refurbished laptop has a total cost close to $1000. That is why I cancelled it.
Yesterday, I did order a different "6 years old" HP Elitebook Refurbished laptop with 16G DDR4 from another store for less than $300. I only need to spend $100 for another 16G DDR4 SODIMM, if I need to.
FYI, 32G DDR5 SODIMM is at least $430.
A few weeks ago, I learned the deal with refurbished business laptops. (you can google or use AI to find the info).
So, I started to shopping again.
Essentially, big corporations spend a fortune to buy or lease expensive business laptops. After the lease expires, the laptops were sent to wholesalers. They would do the checking and sort out different grades of laptops.
Excellent refurbished cost more. Decent refurbished cost less. Fair refurbished cost much less.
In this current environment, this may be a good idea for consumer with limited budget. Consumers can choose the grade of refurbished based on budget.
After I learned this a few weeks ago, I have been actively searching for a good deal.
