HP EliteBook 840 G2 for business mobility

The HP EliteBook 840 G2 is a 14.0-inch laptop built for professionals who need a lightweight Windows 10 Pro machine. An Intel Core i5-5300U processor at 2.3 GHz and 8 GB of DDR3L memory handle office applications and web-based workflows. A 256 GB SATA SSD provides quiet, solid-state storage and faster boot times than a mechanical drive. The non-touch display keeps weight down for daily carry.

Sustained load on the dual-core U-series chip

Under continuous workloads the i5-5300U will throttle to stay within its low-power envelope, so compile times and large spreadsheet calculations run slower than on higher-wattage processors. The integrated graphics share system memory, limiting 3D or video-encoding performance during long sessions. Thermal headroom is modest, so the fan becomes audible when the CPU is held at peak frequency for extended periods. Battery life decreases noticeably under heavy sustained use.

Upgrade from older hard-drive ultraportables

This unit replaces a spinning-disk ultraportable or an earlier 4 GB business notebook, delivering quieter operation and snappier application launches. The jump is worthwhile when your current laptop struggles with multitasking or takes minutes to reach the desktop. It is not suited for buyers who want more storage than 256 GB, need a touchscreen, require Bluetooth connectivity, or expect discrete graphics performance for creative workloads.

Questions about this item

How loud does the fan get when the Core i5-5300U runs at 2.3 GHz all day?

The laptop uses an SSD with no moving parts, so there is no hard-drive noise; fan sound will depend on the workload and ambient temperature.

Do I need to buy a separate AC adapter or battery to start using it?

An AC adapter is included and the lithium-ion battery is built in, so no extra power accessories are required.

Can I keep my older SATA 2.5" drive and use it alongside the 256 GB SSD?

The 256 GB drive occupies the single 2.5" SATA bay; adding another drive would require removing the existing SSD or using an external enclosure.
