HP EliteBook 840 G3 laptop 14" i7-6500U 32GB 500GB SSD

14-inch business laptop

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0-inch laptop built for office and mobile professionals. It runs Windows 10 Pro on a dual-core Intel Core i7-6500U processor with a turbo frequency of 3.10 GHz. The system includes 32GB of DDR3 memory and a new 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the 1366 x 768 HD non-touch display.

Suits single-screen workflows.

This configuration serves users who need a lightweight Windows 10 machine with generous memory for browser-heavy workloads, document editing and video calls. The HD panel and integrated graphics limit its appeal for colour-critical design, modern gaming or driving multiple external displays. Buyers who want a touchscreen, higher resolution or discrete graphics should look at something else.

Dual-core i7-6500U processor

The Intel Core i7-6500U operates at a base frequency of 2.50 GHz and can reach 3.10 GHz on turbo. As a dual-core part, it handles typical business applications and multitasking within the 32GB memory ceiling. Workloads that scale across many threads — such as video encoding, heavy compilation or virtualised server stacks — will run slower than on processors with more cores.
