HP EliteBook 840 G3 laptop i5-6300U 16GB 240GB SSD

Compact business laptop

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch HD laptop built around a dual-core Intel Core i5-6300U processor that runs at 2.40 GHz and can reach 3.00 GHz turbo frequency. It ships with 16GB of DDR3 memory and a 240GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD. Windows 10 Pro 64-bit comes pre-installed, so the machine is ready for office productivity, web browsing and light multitasking out of the box.

Integrated graphics and storage

The Intel HD Graphics 520 handles the 1366 x 768 non-touch display without a discrete GPU, keeping power draw low for mobile use. The 240GB NVMe SSD replaces any mechanical drive, cutting boot and application load times compared with a traditional hard disk. No additional storage drive is included, so users who need more capacity must add a second drive themselves.

Simple memory upgrade path

Two memory slots are available and the system supports up to 32 GB total, allowing a straightforward RAM upgrade if 16 GB becomes a bottleneck. The M.2 SSD is already installed, so there is no drive caddy to fit. Buyers who want more storage or a touchscreen should look elsewhere, as this unit has neither.
