Business laptop without an OS

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0-inch FHD notebook built for professionals who want to install their own operating system. It ships with a 1920 x 1080 non-touch display, an Intel Core i7-6500U dual-core processor running at 2.50 GHz with a 3.10 GHz turbo frequency, and 16GB of DDR3 memory. A new 240GB 2.5-inch SATA SSD provides the primary storage.

Suited for clean OS installs.

This configuration suits buyers who prefer a fresh Windows or Linux deployment without bloatware and who value the 16GB memory ceiling for multitasking. It is not a fit for users who require a touchscreen interface, a display larger than 14 inches, or a pre-installed operating system. Buyers who want more storage than 240GB should look at another model.

240GB SATA SSD determines storage speed and capacity

The single specification that decides suitability is the new 240GB 2.5-inch SATA SSD, which sets both the available capacity and the interface transfer rate for the system drive. The laptop supports up to 32GB of memory across two slots, but the factory-installed drive capacity and SATA connection are fixed unless the buyer swaps the drive after purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 240 GB SSD or look for a larger capacity?

The 240 GB SATA SSD boots quickly and holds the OS plus everyday apps; if you store large media libraries, plan to add a second drive or use external storage.

What does the 2.5 GHz base and 3.10 GHz turbo on the Core i7-6500U mean for daily work?

The dual-core processor runs at 2.5 GHz for steady loads and lifts to 3.10 GHz for short bursts, so office apps, web browsing and video playback stay responsive.

Is the DDR3 memory running at SATA speeds or something faster?

System memory uses DDR3, which is much faster than the SATA interface used by the 240 GB SSD; the two technologies serve different roles and do not share a speed limit.
