EliteBook 840 G3 purpose

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch business laptop built around a dual-core Intel Core i5-6200U processor running at 2.30 GHz with a turbo frequency of 2.80 GHz. It ships with 16GB of DDR3 memory and a new 500GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. The HD display offers a 1366 x 768 resolution and the integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 handles basic visual output. No operating system is installed, so the buyer must provide one.

Capacity and headroom

The 16GB of installed DDR3 memory across two slots leaves room to expand up to the 32 GB maximum supported by the platform. The 500GB SATA SSD supplies solid-state responsiveness for the operating system and everyday applications, though large media libraries or multiple virtual machines will quickly consume the available space. Integrated graphics and the HD panel are suited to office productivity and web browsing rather than intensive rendering or gaming workloads.

Build fit and flexibility

The laptop uses a standard 2.5 inch SATA drive bay, making future storage upgrades straightforward with widely available drives. Two memory slots allow straightforward DDR3 expansion when extra headroom is needed. Intel HD Graphics 520 drives the internal panel and external displays without requiring discrete GPU power or additional cooling considerations. The absence of a pre-installed OS gives the freedom to choose any compatible Windows or Linux distribution for the intended deployment.

Questions about this item

Will the 16GB DDR3 memory and 2.5" SATA SSD work with my older docking station that uses the same interfaces?

The laptop has two DDR3 slots supporting up to 32GB total and a 2.5" SATA drive bay, so existing DDR3 modules and SATA SSDs can be reused if they match those specifications.

How can I confirm the Intel Core i5-6200U and Intel HD Graphics 520 are performing correctly after installing an operating system?

After OS installation, open Task Manager or a similar tool to verify the processor shows two cores at 2.30 GHz base and 2.80 GHz turbo, and that the graphics adapter is identified as Intel HD Graphics 520.

Does the box include a power adapter and recovery media for the 500GB SSD, or do I need to buy them separately?

The unit ships with the laptop, 16GB DDR3 installed, and a new 500GB 2.5" SATA SSD; no operating system, recovery media, or power adapter are mentioned, so plan to source those yourself.
