HP EliteBook 840 G3 for business mobility

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0" laptop built for professionals who need a portable Windows 10 machine. It runs on an Intel Core i7-6500U dual-core processor with a base frequency of 2.50 GHz and 8GB of DDR3 memory. The 240GB SATA SSD provides solid-state storage for the operating system and essential applications.

Sustained workload behaviour

Under continuous load the i7-6500U can reach a turbo frequency of 3.10 GHz, though thermal limits in the slim chassis will moderate clock speeds over time. The integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles desktop compositing and video playback without a discrete GPU. The 240GB SSD maintains consistent read and write performance during extended file operations compared to a mechanical drive.

Pre-purchase setup checks

Verify that 8GB of DDR3 memory meets your multitasking requirements, as the two slots support a maximum of 32 GB if an upgrade is needed later. Confirm the 240GB capacity is sufficient for your local files and software, since no secondary drive bay is present. Ensure Windows 10 Home 64-bit covers the features required for your workflow.

Questions about this item

How loud and hot does the Core i7-6500U get when the EliteBook 840 G3 runs all day?

The dual-core Core i7-6500U has a base frequency of 2.50 GHz and a turbo up to 3.10 GHz; Intel HD Graphics 520 handles the 1920 x 1080 FHD panel. Under sustained load the ultra-low-power chip stays cool and quiet enough for office use.

What memory must I already own to upgrade the 8 GB that ships with this laptop?

The EliteBook 840 G3 uses DDR3 SO-DIMMs and has two slots supporting up to 32 GB total; any compatible DDR3 module can be added to the factory-installed 8 GB.

Will the 240 GB SATA SSD work as a boot drive alongside the mechanical drive I kept from my old EliteBook?

Yes, the 2.5-inch SATA SSD appears as a standard drive to Windows 10 Home 64-bit and can serve as the primary boot device while a second SATA drive provides extra storage.
