Purpose-built for mobile professionals

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0-inch business laptop aimed at users who need a reliable daily driver for office applications, web work and video calls. Its 1920 x 1080 FHD panel and Intel HD Graphics 520 handle documents and streaming without fuss. The system ships with no operating system, so the buyer installs the OS of their choice.

Sustained workload behaviour

The dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U runs at 2.40 GHz with a 3.00 GHz turbo frequency, while 8 GB of DDR3 memory feeds the processor during extended sessions. Under continuous load the integrated graphics and CPU share thermal headroom, so performance settles at a steady level rather than peaking briefly. The 240 GB SATA SSD keeps boot times and application launches consistent over long periods.

Chassis practicality

The silver EliteBook 840 G3 chassis uses a 2.5-inch drive bay for the SSD and provides two memory slots that support up to 32 GB total. Ports include standard business connectors for external displays, wired networking and peripherals. A built-in webcam and Bluetooth handle conferencing and accessory pairing without extra dongles.

Questions about this item

How hot and loud does the EliteBook 840 G3 get when the i5-6300U runs at 3.00 GHz all day?

The dual-core i5-6300U has a low thermal design, so the cooling fan stays quiet under typical office loads; sustained turbo at 3.00 GHz will spin the fan higher but remains within normal ultrabook limits.

The listing says no operating system — what must I supply myself to start using the 14.0" FHD display?

You need a Windows or Linux installation USB and a valid licence key; the 1920 x 1080 panel and Intel HD Graphics 520 work with standard drivers once the OS is installed.

Will my existing DDR3 SO-DIMMs fit the two memory slots if I want to reach the 32 GB maximum?

Yes, the laptop uses DDR3 SO-DIMMs in its two slots, so compatible modules you already own can be reused up to the 32 GB ceiling.
