About this deal

No flaws here, which is true for many parts of the chassis. The 14-inch notebook is surprisingly light, but 1.58 kilograms (~3.5 lb) is still easily beaten by theEliteBook Folio 1040 G3(1.4 kg/~3.1 lb). The real rivals ThinkPad T450s(1.8 kg/~4 lb) and Dell Latitude 14 E7470(1.7 kg/~3.7 lb) on the other hand are much heavier. One of the main reasons is the lower battery capacity of the 840 G3 (46 Wh); Latitude and T450scome with 55 and 96 Wh modules, respectively, so the weight difference would be very small with similar batteries. Unfortunately, HP does not present a balanced configuration that would justify the high price tag. It is clearly an ambitious device, but in our opinion, the TN panel with its limited viewing angles, poor contrast and low color accuracy is not a good choice for this price range, which is also reflected by the rating. The Latitude E7470managed a display rating of 86% despite the glossy touchscreen, and the HP 840 G3 scores "only" 82%. The webcam is also pretty bad and the connectivity is not that good, either. All these things are the reason why the 840 G3 business device misses a very good rating and has to live with the second place behind the Latitude E7470.

The HP Elite Book 840 G3 laptop has a 2.3GHz Turbo Boost up to 2.8GHz processor speed as well as 3MB Cache. Along with this you get a high quality processor of Intel Core i5-6200U and 6th Gen processor which is relatively satisfactory with its price. Screen Size: We will find out why the EliteBook 840 G3 can meet high requirements on the one hand, but also fails to meet its own goals in some areas. The most interesting thing is that even you are getting a built-in 520 Intel HD graphics card in this 840 G3 laptop, you can still play any game with decent performance. General photo and video editing can also be done with great performance for its combination hardware. Battery: Except for the 45-watt power adaptor, the EliteBook does not come with any accessories, but the manufacturer offers various additional items.HP offers an excellent semi-matte WQHD panel for the EliteBook 840 G3. It is superior to the Full-HD TN version in almost every respect. Only the outdoor capabilities of the TN model are slightly better at the same luminance, because the anti-reflective coating is more effective. The display rating would be higher with the WQHD panel, even though we did not even use the excellent calibrated values (DeltaE) for our database (but the factory results for comparability). The WQHD panel can be calibrated very well. Estimated delivery times are provided to us by the respective delivery companies. We pass this information onto you, the customer. Here you will find 8GB DDR4 memory & 256 GB super fast storage SSD are built-in in 840 G3 that means you don't have to worry about the performance anymore. The laptop will be very affordable as a standard size and budget. Graphics Card: The 6500Uis currently the second-fastest 15-watt mobile processor, so users are well-equipped for demanding standard applications. The performance is not on a workstation level, which would require a 45-watt Skylake or Broadwell processor. Those are available in HP's workstations such as the HP ZBook 15 G2, which is currently ranked third in our Workstation Top 10. The biggest rivals with a similar price tag are the Latitude 14 7000 Series E7470(rating 89%) and the ThinkPad T460s(rating 91%). Both of these 14-inch notebooks can be configured comprehensively. Dell and Lenovo already use IPS panels for their FHD models, which is a big advantage over the 840 G3. Latitude E7470and ThinkPad T460sdo not have a 2.5-inch SATA slot, so the 840 G3 is the only device that can be equipped with a SATA HDD/SSD besides the M.2-SSD.

The touchpad provides excellent gliding capabilities and precision. The two corresponding mouse buttons have a conveniently firm but cushioned stroke and a well-defined pressure point. The pad is responsive up into the peripheral areas and has a smooth surface. It can be deactivated via a double tap on a small dot (which will then light up).

The base is made of plastics, only the silver top of the base unit has a painted aluminum finish. The former is solid and torsion-resistant, while the latter provides a cool tactile feel for the hands. All the keys are well-integrated, which ensure a firm and hard key stroke. The Elitebook 840 g3 laptop has a good quality HD 14-inch display with a resolution of 1366 x 768-pixels. The laptop screen produces the natural image of the video and images which encourages any kind of work. Processor: After the review of the 14-inch Latitude E7470, which scored a very good 89%, we continue with one of the biggest rivals: The EliteBook 840 G3 is HP's answer to Dell's business Ultrabook. A look at the final score immediately shows: 87%, so Dell has the upper hand in terms of build quality and choice of components. Why does the EliteBook 840 G3 miss a very good rating? Read on to find out. Another special aspect of this laptop from HP 840 G3 is its networking. Here you will find network features like Gigabit LAN, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, VGA, HDMI, USB2.0. More Features:
