HP EliteBook 840 G3 14" i5-6300U 16GB 128GB SSD

Business laptop for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0-inch business laptop built around an Intel Core i5-6300U dual-core processor at 2.4 GHz with 16GB of memory and a 128GB M.2 SATA SSD. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the 1366 x 768 LED display. It ships with Windows 10 Home and includes USB 3.1 Type-C, full-size DisplayPort, VGA and Gigabit Ethernet.

Upgrade from slower storage or less memory

Replacing a traditional hard drive with the M.2 SATA SSD cuts boot and application load times dramatically. The 16GB DDR4 configuration removes the memory ceiling found on 4GB or 8GB ultraportables, allowing multiple business applications to stay open without swapping. The jump is worth it when your current machine stalls on web-based tools, large spreadsheets or video calls.

Suits office workers needing reliable connectivity

This unit fits professionals who need legacy ports such as VGA and RJ-45 alongside a modern USB Type-C connection for docks or monitors. The non-touch 1366 x 768 screen keeps weight and cost down. Buyers who require a higher-resolution panel, discrete graphics, a larger SSD or a touchscreen should look at other configurations.
