EliteBook 840 G3 for everyday work

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch FHD laptop built around an Intel Core i5-6300U dual-core processor running at 2.40 GHz with a 3.00 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 8GB of DDR3 memory and a new 128GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit comes pre-installed on the 1920 x 1080 non-touch display. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles the visual output.

Fits a mobile desk with room to grow

Two memory slots support up to 32 GB of DDR3, so you can add a second module later. The 2.5 inch SATA bay accepts a larger SSD or a secondary hard drive when 128GB feels tight. Bluetooth and a webcam are built in for calls and peripherals. The silver chassis keeps the footprint compact for carry bags or tight desks.

Steps up from older dual-core machines

Moving from a previous-generation dual-core system with a mechanical drive gives snappier boot and application load times thanks to the new SSD. The 14.0 inch 1080p panel replaces lower-resolution screens for sharper text. Buyers who want more storage out of the box or a dedicated GPU for heavier graphics work should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the 128 GB SATA SSD fill up quickly if I keep large project files on the laptop?

The 128 GB SATA SSD provides the primary storage; large project libraries can exceed this capacity, so external drives or cloud storage are often added for extra space.

Does the fan stay quiet when the Intel Core i5-6300U runs at 3.00 GHz for long periods?

Under sustained load the dual-core processor can reach its 3.00 GHz turbo frequency, causing the cooling fan to spin up and become audible in a quiet room.

Do I need to buy DDR3 modules to reach the 32 GB maximum memory?

The laptop has two DDR3 slots supporting up to 32 GB total, so additional DDR3 SO-DIMMs are required if you want more than the installed 8 GB.
