HP EliteBook 840 G3 i5-6300U 8GB 256GB 14" laptop

Business ultrabook for everyday work

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0" laptop built around an Intel Core i5 6th Gen processor running at 2.40GHz with 8GB of memory and a 256GB SSD. It ships with Windows 10 Pro and includes a backlit keyboard, webcam, fingerprint reader and infrared camera. The silver chassis offers HDMI, three USB ports including two USB 3.1 and one Thunderbolt, plus RJ-45 and Wi-Fi.

Replaces an older clamshell without modern ports

Moving from a legacy notebook that lacks USB Type-C or Thunderbolt connectivity makes this upgrade worthwhile for users who need a single-cable dock and faster peripheral speeds. The 1366 x 768 IPS LCD and shared Intel HD Graphics 520 suit office applications and video calls. Buyers who want a higher resolution panel or discrete graphics for creative workloads should look elsewhere.

Sustained office loads stay responsive

The dual-core processor and shared graphics memory handle typical productivity tasks such as document editing, web browsing and video conferencing without thermal throttling during a normal workday. The 3-cell battery supports mobile use while the SSD keeps boot and application launch times short. Continuous heavy compute or gaming sessions will exceed the cooling capacity of this ultrabook class.
