HP EliteBook 840 G3 14.0" FHD laptop Intel Core i5-6200U 8GB DDR3 240GB NVMe

Business laptop for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch FHD laptop built around an Intel Core i5-6200U dual-core processor running at 2.30 GHz with a 2.80 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 8GB DDR3 memory and a new 240GB NVMe SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit comes pre-installed. The 1920 x 1080 non-touch display and Intel HD Graphics 520 handle everyday office workloads.

Upgrade from slower storage or less memory

Replacing a traditional hard drive with the NVMe SSD cuts boot and application load times dramatically. Moving from 4GB to the installed 8GB DDR3 lets you keep more browser tabs and documents open without swapping. The two memory slots support up to 32 GB total if your workflow later demands more capacity. The jump is worth it when your current machine stalls on multitasking or cold starts.

Suits office workers needing a reliable daily driver

This configuration suits professionals who need a lightweight 14 inch chassis for email, document editing and video calls via the integrated webcam. Buyers who want more storage for large media libraries or who need a dedicated GPU for rendering or gaming should look at something else. The dual-core CPU and integrated graphics also limit heavy compilation or virtualisation workloads.
