Built for mobile office work

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0" business laptop with an Intel Core i5-6300U dual-core processor running at 2.40 GHz with a 3.00 GHz turbo. It ships with 16GB DDR3 memory and a new 240GB SATA SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed on the silver chassis.

Suits travellers needing legacy ports.

This unit suits professionals who need a light 14-inch chassis with a full complement of legacy connectors for docking stations and projectors. Buyers who want more storage than 240GB or a higher resolution panel than 1366 x 768 should look at other models. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles standard office apps but cannot drive modern 3D workloads.

Deciding spec: 16GB DDR3 with 32GB ceiling

The single specification that decides fit is the 16GB DDR3 configuration across two slots supporting up to 32GB maximum. If your workflow demands more memory headroom than this architecture allows, this laptop will not meet the requirement.

Questions about this item

What does the 2.40 GHz base and 3.00 GHz turbo mean for everyday responsiveness?

The dual-core i5-6300U runs at 2.40 GHz normally and can reach 3.00 GHz on short bursts, so office apps and web browsing feel snappy while heavier loads stay within the chip's thermal limits.

The 240 GB SSD uses a 2.5" SATA connection — what does that cap in practice?

A 2.5" SATA drive is limited by the SATA interface, so sequential reads and writes max out at the interface ceiling, giving fast boot times and quick application launches compared with a hard drive.

The spec lists two memory slots and 32 GB maximum — what does that mean for a future upgrade?

With two DDR3 slots supporting up to 32 GB total, you can add or replace modules later, but only DDR3 SODIMMs are compatible.
