EliteBook 840 G3 for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch business laptop with a non-touch FHD display running at 1920 x 1080 resolution. It uses an Intel Core i7-6500U dual-core processor with a 2.50 GHz base clock and 3.10 GHz turbo frequency. Integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles visual output. The system ships with 16GB of DDR3 memory and a new 500GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD under Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Upgrading from slower storage or less memory

Replacing a mechanical hard drive with the NVMe SSD cuts boot and application load times significantly. Moving from 8GB to the installed 16GB DDR3 allows smoother multitasking with multiple browser tabs and office programs. The memory slots support up to 32 GB total if workloads demand more capacity later. Buyers who need dedicated graphics performance or a touchscreen should look elsewhere.

Limits of the integrated graphics

Intel HD Graphics 520 is suited to desktop productivity, video playback and light photo editing but cannot accelerate modern 3D workloads or heavy compute tasks. DDR3 memory bandwidth caps data throughput compared to newer standards, which can become a bottleneck in sustained multi-core scenarios. The 500GB NVMe drive provides fast access speeds yet fills quickly with large media libraries or virtual machines.

Questions about this item

Will the 14.0-inch chassis accept standard 2.5-inch drives or only M.2 NVMe?

The 500GB NVMe drive occupies the M.2 slot; no 2.5-inch bay is present in this 14.0-inch model.

How do I add memory to the two DDR3 slots without damaging the clips?

Tilt each SO-DIMM gently until the side clips snap into place, then press down evenly until both latches lock.

Which storage component will likely need replacement first, the 500GB NVMe or the 16GB DDR3?

The 500GB NVMe SSD has a finite write endurance, while the 16GB DDR3 modules do not wear out in normal use.
