HP EliteBook 840 G3 — 14 inch business laptop

The HP EliteBook 840 G3 is a 14.0 inch business laptop powered by an Intel Core i7-6600U dual-core processor with a base frequency of 2.60 GHz and a turbo frequency of 3.40 GHz. It comes with 8GB of DDR3 memory and a new 128GB 2.5 inch SATA SSD. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed.

Practical limits of the HD display

The 1366 x 768 HD panel provides basic clarity for office applications and web browsing but lacks the pixel density for detailed creative work or multi-window workflows. Intel HD Graphics 520 handles desktop composition and video playback smoothly but is not suited for modern 3D titles or GPU-accelerated rendering. The two memory slots support up to 32 GB total if additional capacity is needed.

Replaces older dual-core ultrabooks

This unit upgrades from earlier dual-core ultrabooks that rely on spinning hard drives by adding a new SATA SSD for faster boot and application load times. The jump is worth it for users who need responsive everyday performance and a lightweight 14 inch chassis. Buyers who want more storage or a higher resolution screen should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 8GB DDR3 model or look for a higher capacity?

The laptop ships with 8GB DDR3 across two slots and supports up to 32GB total, so you can add another 8GB module later if you need more memory for multitasking.

How does the 2.60 GHz base and 3.40 GHz turbo translate to everyday speed?

The dual-core i7-6600U runs at 2.60 GHz normally and can boost to 3.40 GHz for short bursts, giving snappy response in office apps and web browsing while staying cool in the 14.0" chassis.

What does the 2.5" SATA interface mean for the 128GB SSD performance?

The 128GB SSD connects over a 2.5" SATA link, so sequential reads and writes are capped at the SATA 6 Gb/s ceiling, still far quicker than any hard drive for boot and app loading.
