HP EliteBook 840 G3 laptop, Core i5-6200U, 16GB DDR3, 1TB NVMe

14.0" HD business laptop

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch HD laptop built for office and mobile professionals. It runs Windows 10 Home on an Intel Core i5-6200U dual-core processor with 16GB of DDR3 memory. The 1366 x 768 non-touch display and integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 suit standard productivity tasks. A new 1TB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD provides fast storage for documents and applications.

Memory upgrade and OS constraints

Two memory slots are fitted with 16GB installed and the platform supports up to 32GB total, so adding capacity is straightforward with compatible DDR3 modules. The pre-installed 64-bit Windows 10 Home activates automatically, though the operating system has reached end of support and will no longer receive security updates. Buyers who need a supported OS should plan a clean installation of a current Windows version or an alternative operating system.

1TB NVMe storage and 32GB memory ceiling

The 1TB NVMe drive handles large project files, local databases and extensive media libraries without crowding the system drive. Memory headroom reaches 32GB, which covers heavy multitasking and virtual machines, but the dual-core processor and integrated graphics limit performance in sustained compute or modern 3D workloads. Buyers who need more storage bays, discrete graphics or a higher core count should consider a larger workstation chassis.
