HP EliteBook 850 G3 15.6" FHD i5-6300U 16GB 240GB SSD No OS

HP EliteBook 850 G3 — business laptop

This 15.6 inch FHD laptop ships without an operating system so the buyer installs their preferred Windows or Linux build. It carries an Intel Core i5-6300U dual-core processor at 2.40 GHz with 3.00 GHz turbo, 16 GB DDR4 memory and a new 240 GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. The Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the 1920 x 1080 non-touch panel.

Sustained load behaviour

The 15 W U-series processor maintains 2.40 GHz base clocks during long workloads and can reach 3.00 GHz turbo for shorter bursts. Intel HD Graphics 520 shares system memory and is suited to office applications, video playback and light creative tasks rather than extended 3D rendering. The 240 GB SATA SSD keeps boot and application launches consistent without thermal throttling concerns.

Checklist before ordering: OS.

You must supply and install your own operating system because none is included. The two memory slots support up to 32 GB total DDR4 if you plan to expand beyond the fitted 16 GB. Storage uses a 2.5 inch SATA drive bay so confirm any additional drive you add matches that interface and physical size.
