About this item

Visuals are handled by the integrated Intel HD 520 chipset, and you can output video to an external display using the built-in HDMI 1.4 port at resolutions up to 3840 x 2160 @ 24, 25 or 30 Hz, as well as 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz. Using the optional Ultra Slim Docking Station, up to three displays are supported with a color depth of up to 32-bits per pixel.

For storage of your files, this system comes with a 256GB M.2 SATA III SSD. While this SSD may not have the larger capacity of a traditional spinning hard drive, it can operate with faster data transfer speeds because it contains no moving parts. Additionally, its lack of moving parts also helps it to be more resistant to damage from bumps and drops. SSDs also receive less wear and tear because the drive has no read and write heads that the disk media comes into contact with.

If you want to add external storage, optical drives, mice, keyboards, printers, memory card readers, and more, the EliteBook 1040 G3 offers two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and one USB 3.0 Type-C port, all of which double as charging ports. Dual built-in Bang & Olufsen stereo speakers, dual-array microphones, and a 720p webcam let you participate in video calls for work or with friends and family. Connect to the Internet via 802.11ac Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet for a more stable and reliable connection. Furthermore, to free up USB ports and reduce wire clutter, you can connect additional peripherals and devices using Bluetooth 4.2. A built-in 3-in-1 media card reader supports SD/SDHC/SDXC formats.

The EliteBook 1040 G3 Notebook operates using an included 3.2′ power cord and a 45W AC adapter that runs at 90-265 VAC and 47-63 Hz, as well as a 6-cell / 45.6Wh lithium-ion polymer battery that will last for up to 11.5 hours before recharging is required.
