Are you looking for 2nd Laptop with good specs, under warranty, good price, etc …
Here is the specs:
HP EliteBook 840 G3 Intel Core i5-6300U 2.4GHz | 8GB Ram | 256GB SSD | Win 10
CPU: Intel Core i5-6300U 2.4Ghz
Ram: 8GB

Screen Size: 14"
Warranty: Until 2020
Good condition.
Working good.
Comes without box.
AC Adapter included.

Enjoy
As per ebay store: More than 10 available
I have more than 15 units
Onboard or dedicated graphics.
i think onboard (integrated)
@dragonindespair: lol laptop models vary depending on the actual model, 840 g3 will have multiple Configs. Only the op can know for sure.
@Slippery Fish: not on this one :) i listed all from australia hp store. if OP got it from other countries then not my fault
@Slippery Fish: doing all the marketing for the OP no commission received, not buying either (afraid too heavy and not touch screen) - at least i got "you win mate" from you. thanks
So you have 16 units?
17 also more than 15
Screen size in description wouldn't go astray?!
Screen size: 14"
any data on the screen type (and native display resolution)
LCD Backlight Technology LED backlight
Widescreen Display Yes
Image Aspect Ratio 16:9
Monitor Features Full HD standard-viewing angle (SVA) eDP anti-glare, Slim Design
Type LED
TFT Technology TN
Diagonal Size (metric) 35.6 cm
Display Resolution Abbreviation Full HD
Most EliteBook 840s with those specs should be 1080p but youd need the OP to confirm.
EDIT. Beat me to it.
It doesn't state it, so i am assuming that it isnt a touchscreen… chasing a 11" touchscreen for my son, but would go to 14" if it was touchscreen.
Can I ask why you have so many and why they are cheap in comparison to the RRP
Its a good question because while this isnt the latest model, that would be the G4, the G3 is still a current model stocked by the distributors. I cant imagine any corp environment is turning these over just yet.
Redundancies. Jobs going offshore. Company insolvency. Lots of reasons really.
Yep fair enough. Still seems on the cheap side. Maybe a good old fashioned bargain.
@xsmeagle: Yep I have access to wholesale pricing as well. Big difference, wonder what the condition of the chassis is like.
@ddr0001: Ok now im really suss, made an offer of $500 and it was automatically accepted… seems he has room to negotiate. Red Flag?
@Stealthzor: Oh Ok, I'm still jealous of the guy above me who offered $500 and got accepted :(
Apply the 5% discount so he would've gotten it for $475 :(
Ex corporate lease gear
1 Year lease?
I have one of these from work, this model is a couple of years old and these are refurbished. Price should be $350-$450 range
Decent little machines these as we use hundreds of the i7 model at work and haven't had many problems at all. Ours have the glossy 'Touchscreen' but I can see from the eBay pics these ones are just standard matt finish non-Touchscreen. Still a great price for a decent quality machine as these are 'Business Grade' models capable of handling day-today wear & tear a lot better than most 'Domestic' models.
but a bit heavy dont you think?
Yes & no. Most of the Notebooks here at work never leave their users desks so weight & size isn't really a problem. If you want something smaller & lighter you can just pay more, simple.
I have the G2 version of the 840 and I can't understand why HP would go from 4 USB3.0 ports in the G2 to only 2 in the G3.
It has 1 x Type C also. The manufacturers are very keen on reducing overall thickness, every ProBook/EliteBook model is slightly thinner than the last.
Is warranty direct through HP or through you.
HP Warranty direct, quicker service as its business service levels
Reply to my earlier question please. :)
or one below mine about the model
Doesn't HP require some sort of original purchase paperwork or reference numbers??
rep can i have the exact model number? (V6D70PA or Y7D79PA or Y7D78PA or other?)
Well I guess you win, thanks mate.
Intel HD Graphics 520 Shared memory (UMA)
anyone know what is this means
"Expansion slots:
1 media card reader; 1 external SIM"
external SIM???
Used to be a feature of business laptops in particular to have WWAN built in, so I am guessing it has a slot to put your sim in?
i see. not many but yes probably good for business.
Yes, one slot for sim card on the side of laptop
Does this one have the WWAN module built in?
Is this too good to be true? It retails for $2829 RRP

Nah - it isn't uncommon for these business machines (ex-lease) to go for around this price. HP support from my experience with a similar machine is quite good as well.
your link is for i7…. check my link instead above
oh ok thanks.
The I5 goes for 2.4K, so a good 1.8K off from RRP, still good I reckon.
Really tempted to get this even though I don't "need" a laptop
Pulled the trigger. Offered $530 and got counter-offered $550. Applied the 5% discount so total was $522.50
Should've offered $500 so OP would've countered less. Anyway, happy with the purchase so far.
Thanks OP :)
The real Harvey Specter would have offered $400.
Offered 500, got countered 550. Cashrewards and 5% off = under 520.
how much does a new one retail for?
thank yoU!
thats still a good $1500 aud, i believe my $475 on one of them was a good steal!
Just wanted to ask, if it is under warranty, do I contact hp office in sydney if the machine is not working?
Warranty is covered by HP Australia.
Onsite warranty during standard office hours, next available tech resource.
how good would this be for a school laptop?
Overkill, these are business grade laptops
What would you recommend
vga output?
mate how is their a warranty if its been repaired by a non approved technician?
That voids warranty
Depends what has actually been repaired. I've had dozens of modified HP products services under warranty.
depends on what exactly
Depends on what you've repaired in the laptop. I've done upgrades on RAM, HDDs and even WiFi cards and managed to get onsite warranty fine.
the seller didn't declare the work done - neither are legitimate upgrades repairs - but you knew that.
oh well my offer was rejected.
made 500 offer got countered 550 then i recountered 525 and got rejected.
re-submitted 550 but sold out.
well, i saved 550.. hooray
At such a discount you probably could have resold it at quite a big markup
i guess i was lucky getting it for 500 (475 with PICK5)
yeah you are the special one…
hmmm..doesn't feel right.
These are a brick to carry around.. they are like almost 2 inches thick when closed. I wouldnt touch one..
You need to bulk up mate, they're only 1.5Kg
Received one this morning, measured it and it's only 0.7 inches thick at its thickest point (closed). And surprisingly light considering I don't even lift.
Yeah. Got mixed up with the Elitebook 8470p (Look that one up!). My Bad.
Thank got I pulled the trigger, knew it was going to be sold out at this price.
I have the i7 version at work.
RRP is way off by the way. $570 is a good price.
Yeh I agree RRP is way off. This price below is probably the better indication
http://www.digitalstar.com.au/hp-elitebook-840-g3-i5-6300u-8…
Still $1.4K discount on this offer
anyone received? comments/feedback please?
Received this morning. Speedy first bootup and aside from a couple of minor scratches it's in pristine condition. Fingerprint reader is a nice touch and recommendation printed on a piece of paper recommending to use Windows Update to update to the latest version.
Was neatly wrapped in bubble wrap and cushioned by a multitude of assorted recycled boxes to cushion it whilst in transit. I also was lucky enough to nab it for $500 ($475 after PICK5).
Edit: Also relatively light for a laptop as I'm used to hefty laptops weighing >2.5Kg.
comes with invoice inside the box?
No invoice provided inside the box.
Does your battery hold charge?
I've updated my windows 10 and still if i unplug the power cord, the laptop abruptly shuts off.
Any ideas?
Mine seems to hold charge thus far, runtime looks to be roughly 4-4.5hrs with wifi on.
