HP EliteBook 840 G2: Touch-Enabled Performance Ultrabook

The HP EliteBook 840 G2 is engineered for speed, security, and tactile interaction. This ultra-thin 14-inch model features a durable magnesium and aluminum chassis, MIL-STD 810G testing, and the added utility of a responsive touchscreen, making it a robust and versatile tool for demanding professionals.

Top-Tier 5th Gen Performance and Memory

This configuration is built for high performance and efficiency, perfect for multitasking and power-intensive applications:

• Processor: Equipped with the powerful 5th Generation Intel Core i7 processor (e.g., i7-5500U or i7-5600U).⁶ This CPU provides excellent processing power, ideal for running complex business software, multimedia tasks, and heavy workloads.

• Memory: 8 GB of fast DDR3L SDRAM ensures smooth and lag-free operation across multiple applications and allows for efficient multitasking in Windows.

• Storage: The 500 GB Hard Disk Drive (HDD) provides substantial, cost-effective storage space for large files and archives.⁹ (Recommendation: Replacing the HDD with an SSD is the most impactful upgrade for achieving modern boot and load speeds.)

Interactive Touchscreen and Durable Design

The touchscreen capability transforms interaction, protected by professional-grade materials:

• Touchscreen Display: Features a 14.0-inch diagonal display with touch functionality, often in Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution.¹⁰ The screen typically includes a protective top layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch resistance and enhanced durability.¹¹

• Built to Last: The thin yet robust chassis is MIL-STD 810G tested against military standards for resistance to common business hazards like minor drops, temperature extremes, and vibration.

• Collaborative Audio: Equipped with DTS Studio Sound™ for clear, high-fidelity audio during presentations and video conferences.

Complete Business Connectivity and Security

The G2 retains all the essential ports professionals need, reducing the reliance on external adapters:

• Full Port Selection: Includes four USB 3.0 ports (one charging), DisplayPort and VGA for external displays, and a full-size RJ-45 (Ethernet) port.

• Advanced Security: Features HP’s core security tools, including HP Sure Start (self-healing BIOS) and an optional Fingerprint Reader for secure, fast biometric login.
