Refurbished HP EliteBook 1030 G3, Core i5 8th Gen, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, X360

Refurbished & Fully Tested | 6-Month Mega Store Warranty

The HP EliteBook 1030 G3 brings genuine 8th generation Intel Core i5 performance to HP's premium ultra-portable convertible line — the most accessible configuration in our 1030 G3 range — fully tested and warrantied by Mega Store Kenya for buyers who want a genuinely well-specified, compact convertible at a more accessible price than our newest 1030 stock.

Genuine Portability at the Most Accessible Price

This is worth explaining directly: the EliteBook 1030 line has consistently represented HP's flagship ultra-portable convertible — genuinely thinner and lighter than the larger 830/840/850-series EliteBooks, and this configuration brings that same portable chassis to the most accessible price point in our 1030 G3 range.

HP EliteBook 1030 G3 (i5, 8GB/256GB) vs HP EliteBook 1030 G3 (i7, 16GB/512GB)

Both share the identical ultra-portable X360 chassis — our higher-specification variant doubles RAM and storage with a stronger i7 processor, at a meaningfully higher price.
