HP Elitebook 840 G3-Intel Core i5 turned out to be a versatile business notebook, but it was not a fully convincing package with the TN panel (1920 x 1080). Now we had the chance to test the version with the WQHD panel (non-touch, T9X23ET#ABD) and we are impressed. All the information is available in the sections Display, Battery Runtime and Verdict.

Case
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 the EliteBook 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 T450s come with 55 and 96 Wh modules, respectively, so the weight difference would be very small with similar batteries.
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 lid is very thin, somewhat flexible and the hinges are smooth. Pressure on the frame will result in pressure points on the screen. This can be particularly noticeable when handling the notebook at the upper frame, where TFT is probably connected too tightly to the frame. Pressure on the back of the lid does not create ripples on the screen. You can easily open the lid with one hand, but it is still well-adjusted so there is no bouncing. However, the lid will open to its maximum angle of around 145 degrees when you carry it around.
