HP EliteBook 840 G3 business laptop

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i7-6500U dual-core processor running at 2.50 GHz with a 3.10 GHz turbo frequency. It suits professionals who need a compact machine for office applications, web work and video calls. The 1920 x 1080 FHD non-touch display provides clear visuals for documents and conferencing. Buyers who require a pre-installed operating system or discrete graphics for heavy 3D work should look elsewhere.

Thermals noise and power in daily use

The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 shares system memory and keeps heat output modest during typical productivity tasks such as email, spreadsheets and browser tabs. Fan activity remains low in quiet environments when the workload is light. The 6th generation dual-core CPU balances performance with efficient power draw for extended unplugged sessions. Sustained heavy loads will raise temperatures and fan speed beyond normal office levels.

Build fit and expansion

Two memory slots support up to 32 GB of DDR3 RAM, allowing a straightforward capacity increase when workloads grow. The 2.5 inch SATA bay holds the included 500GB SSD and can accept a larger SATA drive if more local storage is needed. No operating system is installed, so the buyer must provide their own Windows or Linux licence and installation media. The slim 14 inch chassis fits standard business bags and docks.
