HP EliteBook 840 G6 HP's proven 14-inch premium business standard — the Whiskey Lake generation
The HP EliteBook 840 G6 is HP's core 14-inch model in the premium business line — the one corporate IT departments build entire fleets around. G6 is the Whiskey Lake generation: a solidly built aluminium machine two generations before the widely recognised G8. As a refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria, it gives you proven EliteBook engineering at a price well below a new equivalent.
Benefits
Why the HP EliteBook 840 G6 is a sensible buy in the 14-inch premium business class as a refurbished laptop
A 14-inch corporate standard
The HP EliteBook 840 G6 is HP's core 14-inch model in the premium line — the one IT departments build whole fleets around. For a company that means standardisation, easier support and accessible spare parts for years.
Intel Whiskey Lake-U + UHD 620
Quad-core Core i5/i7 chips (some with vPro) and integrated UHD Graphics 620 — enough for Office, a browser full of tabs, ERP/CRM systems and video calls. The class targets everyday business work, not heavy graphics.
Aluminium chassis, MIL-STD-810G
An all-aluminium body that passed the military MIL-STD-810G tests for shock, dust and vibration. A machine that doesn't start creaking after its third year on desks and in bags.
1× Thunderbolt 3 + HDMI
One USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port (up to 40 Gbps) for an external monitor, a fast SSD or single-cable docking, plus HDMI. Convenient for a desk with several screens when used with a compatible dock.
Full-size RJ45 Ethernet
The classic network port is on board — a rarity among the thin business laptops of the era. You plug straight into a wired network with no adapter, in offices that still run on cable.
SO-DIMM memory up to 32 GB
Two SO-DIMM slots running DDR4-2400 allow an upgrade to 32 GB after purchase — most rivals in the class use soldered memory. A real long-term reserve for a machine meant to last years.
50 Wh battery, HP Fast Charge
Charges up to 50% in about 30 minutes with the laptop off or in standby and the bundled USB-C adapter rated at least 65 W; the time can vary by ±10%. Enough to top up between two meetings without a long wait.
Hardware-level HP security + TPM 2.0
HP Sure Start (self-healing BIOS), Sure Run, Sure Recover, Sure Sense and Sure Click — the foundation of what HP later unified under the Wolf Security brand. A discrete TPM 2.0 handles corporate encryption.
Sure View privacy + IR camera (option)
On select configurations — an integrated HP Sure View privacy panel (1000 nits) that limits side visibility at the push of a button, and a 720p IR camera with shutter for Windows Hello.
A logical choice as a refurbished laptop
As a used business laptop from the premium class that has passed a technical audit and refurbishment, the HP EliteBook 840 G6 gives you a proven brand-name business laptop with a real warranty — at a price a new equivalent struggles to match.
HP EliteBook 840 G6: the 14-inch EliteBook workhorse of the Whiskey Lake wave
The HP EliteBook 840 is one of the few laptops corporate IT departments order in volume, generation after generation. It is HP's core 14-inch premium business model — the machine entire company fleets are built around, because the department knows exactly what it is getting and how to keep it running. G6 is the Whiskey Lake generation: a solidly built machine that later slimmed down into the G7 and grew into the widely recognised G8. You are buying proven, premium-class EliteBook engineering — at a price the refurbished market has long since pushed below the new equivalent.
There is a quirk to the G6 worth knowing: the name. HP shipped this generation as part of the refreshed EliteBook 800 line, but the silicon underneath is Intel Whiskey Lake-U — effectively 8th-generation Core, even though you will often see it tagged as 9th gen in listings. For real work it barely matters: the quad-core i5 and i7 chips (some with vPro) handle Office, a browser with twenty tabs, ERP/CRM systems and video conferences smoothly, while the integrated UHD Graphics 620 covers everyday office tasks. What matters more to a refurbished buyer is what stays in your hands after years of use — and here HP is more generous than the spec sheet suggests.
Two details stand out right away. First, the full-size RJ45 port — it disappeared from many thin business laptops of the same era, yet on the G6 it is on board, ready to plug straight into a wired network without an adapter or dock. Second, one Thunderbolt 3 port (USB-C, up to 40 Gbps) that does everything from an external monitor and a fast SSD to single-cable docking. For an office still running on cabled infrastructure — and there are plenty — that saves the daily hunt for adapters. The chassis is all aluminium, assembled to survive the years of opening and closing a corporate laptop goes through; HP runs the series through MIL-STD-810G tests for shock, vibration, dust and temperature so the machine doesn't loosen up by its third year. It feels dense and cool in the hand, with no flex around the keyboard. Add to that a 50 Wh battery with HP Fast Charge (50% in about half an hour), memory on two SO-DIMM slots upgradeable to 32 GB DDR4, a replaceable M.2 NVMe SSD, an HP Premium spill-resistant keyboard with optional backlighting, and an optional 720p camera with a physical shutter.
The very name on the lid is the result of a coin toss. In 1939, in the garage behind a Palo Alto house, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard founded a company on 538 dollars of capital and reached the last open question: whose name would come first. They flipped a coin; Hewlett won — and the company became Hewlett-Packard rather than Packard-Hewlett. The two letters on the HP EliteBook 840 G6 carry the memory of a moment when one of technology's greatest empires was decided by pocket change. A humbler beginning is hard to invent.
Behind this machine sits a whole line with character. HP launched the EliteBook in 2008 as a class above the ProBook — the premium business series engineered to hold up where an ordinary office laptop gives in: travel, constant carrying, years without replacement. Since then the EliteBook 800 has become something companies buy less for a spec on paper and more out of habit and trust — IT directors know the machine will behave the same across the whole fleet, that spare parts will be there, that the BIOS will get updates for a long time. That reputation — "ages well", as reviewers put it — is exactly what makes the G6 a sensible refurbished choice today. You aren't buying the newest thing; you are buying a line that has proven it lasts.
An honest word on the trade-offs. The G6 isn't ultralight — from 1.48 kg and 17.9 mm without a touch screen, a touch above the thinnest machines of the era. The graphics are integrated UHD 620 with an optional AMD Radeon 550X, so video editing, 3D or CAD aren't its job (HP has the ZBook for that). And this is Whiskey Lake, not the newest platform — the later HP EliteBook 840 G7 (Comet Lake) and G8 (with Thunderbolt 4, and Iris Xe graphics when dual-channel RAM is installed) are the logical step up, usually at a higher refurbished price. The direct rival from the generation is the Dell Latitude 7400 with its optional carbon-fibre chassis, and on Lenovo's side the Lenovo ThinkPad T490 with the classic ThinkPad keyboard and optional MX250 graphics. As a refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria, though, the G6 holds a strong card: a premium-class used business laptop that has passed a technical audit and preparation, with a real warranty — a proven brand-name business laptop at a price a new equivalent struggles to reach.
Who it's for
Scenarios where the HP EliteBook 840 G6 makes the most sense
Equipping a company fleet
Companies equipping their staff with a proven 14-inch machine. The EliteBook is among the models IT departments know best — standardisation, central management and accessible spare parts make rollout and support easier.
Hybrid work and video calls
For someone splitting time between home and office: Bang & Olufsen speakers, three microphones and an optional 720p camera with an IR option for a quick Windows Hello sign-in. And when the meeting room still has a cable — the full-size RJ45 port is right there.
Working with confidential data
On configurations with HP Sure View — a lawyer, financial analyst or consultant opening sensitive documents on a plane or in a café limits the screen's side visibility at the push of a button, with no external filter.
A proven standard at a saner price
For the buyer who wants EliteBook reliability but not the price of the newest generation. The G6 is the machine before the widely known G8 — same line, same construction, refurbished and warrantied, at a noticeably lower price.
Model highlights
14″ in the premium EliteBook 800 line
The HP EliteBook 840 G6 is the 14-inch standard in HP's premium line. It sits between the more compact HP EliteBook 830 G6 (13.3″) and the wider HP EliteBook 850 G6 (15.6″) of the same generation.
Intel Whiskey Lake-U + UHD 620
The real silicon behind the "G6" name is Intel Whiskey Lake-U — quad-core Core i5/i7 (vPro options included) with integrated UHD Graphics 620. Often listed as 9th gen, technically 8th.
Aluminium unibody, from 1.48 kg, MIL-STD-810G
An all-aluminium chassis, 17.9 mm thick and from 1.48 kg without a touch screen (18.05 mm and from 1.51 kg for touch versions). The series passes MIL-STD-810G durability tests for shock, dust, vibration and temperature.
1× Thunderbolt 3 + HDMI
One USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port (up to 40 Gbps, DisplayPort Alt Mode, Power Delivery) and HDMI 1.4b. Connects to a docking station and several monitors over one cable.
Full-size RJ45 + 4G LTE option
A classic Ethernet port on board plus an optional 4G LTE CAT16 module. Wired and mobile connectivity without adapters — practical for corporate and on-the-road work.
SO-DIMM up to 32 GB DDR4-2400
Two SO-DIMM slots allow a memory upgrade to 32 GB after purchase, plus a replaceable M.2 NVMe SSD. Serviceability that is rare among thin rivals with soldered memory.
50 Wh battery + HP Fast Charge
A 3-cell 50 Wh battery with HP Fast Charge — up to 50% charge in about 30 minutes with the laptop off or in standby and an adapter of at least 65 W; the time can vary by ±10%. A quick top-up between meetings and trips.
HP security + Sure View option
HP Sure Start, Sure Run, Sure Recover, Sure Sense and Sure Click, a discrete TPM 2.0, an optional Sure View privacy panel (1000 nits) and a 720p IR camera with shutter for Windows Hello.

Additional information
Where this model fits in the series ▼
The HP EliteBook 840 G6 belongs to the EliteBook 800 series — HP's premium business line, positioned directly against the Dell Latitude 7000 and the Lenovo ThinkPad T. Above it sit the ultrapremium flagships — the EliteBook x360 1000 series and the HP Dragonfly. Below it are the ProBook 600 (mainstream business) and ProBook 400 (entry business), with the HP ZBook workstation line running separately.
Within the G6 generation the series comes in three sizes: HP EliteBook 830 G6 (13.3″, more compact), HP EliteBook 840 G6 (14″, the balanced standard) and HP EliteBook 850 G6 (15.6″, more screen space).
Along the generation line, the G6 succeeds the HP EliteBook 840 G5 and comes one step before the HP EliteBook 840 G7 (Comet Lake platform, a thinner chassis), followed by the widely recognised HP EliteBook 840 G8 (Intel 11th Gen Tiger Lake, Thunderbolt 4, Iris Xe graphics). The G6 is the Whiskey Lake version — usually the most affordable of this group on the refurbished market, and one that keeps a full-size RJ45 port and one Thunderbolt 3 port.
The HP EliteBook 840 G6 is not ideal if… ▼
- You need a powerful discrete graphics card for heavy video editing, complex 3D work or CAD with high graphics demands. The G6 has integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620 and an optional AMD Radeon 550X; for higher graphics performance, look at the HP ZBook series.
- You treat minimum weight as a priority — the G6 starts from 1.48 kg without a touch screen. For a lighter machine, consider the HP Elite Dragonfly or thinner ultraportable models.
- You want Thunderbolt 4, Iris Xe graphics or a newer platform — those come with the HP EliteBook 840 G8 (Intel 11th Gen), with Iris Xe requiring dual-channel RAM. The HP EliteBook 840 G7 (Comet Lake) is an intermediate step with Thunderbolt 3 and UHD graphics.
- You need a 2-in-1 format or tablet mode — the G6 is a standard clamshell with no 360-degree hinges. For a convertible, look at the EliteBook x360 series.
- You want a 15-inch screen — the HP EliteBook 850 G6 is the direct 15-inch alternative from the same generation.
- You expect a guaranteed Sure View privacy panel or a specific configuration (exact CPU, RAM, SSD, 4G LTE, high-brightness display) — these are options set at order time, and configurations vary. Always check the specific unit.
Choosing the right size/form factor ▼
13.3-inch class (HP EliteBook 830 G6): more compact and slightly lighter. Suited to frequent travel and people who want minimum bulk in the bag. Trade-off: less screen real estate.
14-inch class (HP EliteBook 840 G6): the balanced standard. Enough screen area for documents, spreadsheets and video calls, at a weight that stays comfortable for daily carrying.
15.6-inch class (HP EliteBook 850 G6): more screen for multi-window work or spreadsheets. Heavier — better for mostly desk-based use or rare carrying.
Construction: the G6 is an aluminium unibody chassis, about 17.95 mm thick, built for long corporate service life. The series passes MIL-STD-810G durability testing — a standard part of the EliteBook class, not a special option.
Alternative models ▼
Within HP:
HP EliteBook 840 G5 — the previous generation. Usually a more affordable refurbished option, with similar construction. Trade-off: an older platform.
HP EliteBook 840 G7 — the successor (Intel 10th Gen, Comet Lake). A thinner chassis and a newer platform, usually at a higher refurbished price.
HP EliteBook 840 G8 — the widely recognised corporate standard (Intel 11th Gen, Tiger Lake). Thunderbolt 4, Iris Xe graphics and a world-facing third microphone. A more current choice, but at a higher price.
HP EliteBook 830 G6 / HP EliteBook 850 G6 — the same generation in 13.3″ and 15.6″ formats, for people who want a more compact or larger machine.
HP ProBook 440 G6 — entry business class, not premium. More affordable than the HP EliteBook, but without the full hardware-security suite and with a plainer chassis.
Cross-brand alternatives (14″, premium business class, same generation):
Dell Latitude 7400 — the direct 14-inch premium rival from Dell's flagship Latitude 7000 series, with an optional carbon-fibre chassis and lower weight on some configurations. Trade-off: soldered memory on some configurations and less upgrade headroom than the G6's SO-DIMM slots.
Lenovo ThinkPad T490 — the 14-inch premium Lenovo ThinkPad from the same period. The classic Lenovo ThinkPad keyboard with TrackPoint and an optional NVIDIA MX250 discrete graphics chip. Trade-off: a different design language and usually a denser build.
Note: don't treat the HP EliteBook 840 G6 as equivalent to the HP ProBook 440 or the Dell Latitude 3000 — those are mainstream/entry business class with a different target group.
Refurbished by ITR Bulgaria: what value do you get? ▼
The HP EliteBook 840 G6 is a model where refurbishment by ITR Bulgaria has a particularly clear logic. HP designed the series with a long corporate service life in mind — the internals are accessible, the M.2 SSD and SO-DIMM memory are replaceable, and the hardware documentation is thorough. That makes the technical audit and refurbishment easier and free of surprises.
On top of that comes the model's wide corporate deployment: spare parts and accessories — genuine batteries, HP docking stations, chargers — stay available on the market even years after launch. That makes the HP EliteBook 840 G6 a practical used laptop with predictable support for a long time. After refurbishment, the model is prepared for repeat business use and ships with a real warranty and support from ITR Bulgaria.
Frequently asked questions ▼
Is the HP EliteBook 840 G6 a good choice as a used laptop?
Yes — for a concrete reason. The HP EliteBook 840 G6 is among the most widely deployed 14″ business laptops in the world, which means long BIOS support from HP and easily sourced spare parts. As a refurbished laptop from the premium business class, it gives you a considerably higher-class device than a new budget laptop at a similar price.
What processor does the HP EliteBook 840 G6 have — 8th or 9th gen?
The silicon is Intel Whiskey Lake-U — technically 8th-generation Core, even though HP and many listings marketed this generation as 9th gen. You'll find i3, i5 and i7 variants, some with vPro. For everyday business work the difference is mostly in the label — the graphics are integrated UHD 620 across the board.
What's the difference between the HP EliteBook 840 G6, G7 and G8?
The G6 is the Whiskey Lake platform with 1× Thunderbolt 3 and a full-size RJ45. The G7 is the Intel 10th Gen successor (Comet Lake) with a thinner chassis. The G8 is Intel 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) with Thunderbolt 4, Iris Xe graphics and a world-facing third microphone — the widely recognised corporate standard. The G6 is usually the most affordable of the three on the refurbished market.
Is the HP EliteBook 840 G6 suitable for equipping office staff?
Yes — that is exactly what it was designed for. The EliteBook series supports central IT management, the hardware-level HP security (Sure Start, Sure Run, Sure Recover, Sure Sense) provides corporate protection, and standardised components make mass rollout and support easier. As a refurbished business laptop from ITR Bulgaria, it comes with a warranty — a sensible choice for companies equipping their staff.
What configurations does the HP EliteBook 840 G6 come in?
The model appears in a wide range: Intel Core i3/i5/i7 from the Whiskey Lake generation (some with vPro), RAM up to 32 GB DDR4-2400 across two SO-DIMM slots, and an NVMe SSD up to 1 TB. Some units may include an HP Sure View privacy panel (1000 nits), an IR camera for Windows Hello, a fingerprint reader, a 4G LTE module, or an FHD or 4K display. Always check the specific unit.
