Use Cases for HP EliteBook 840 G6 Ci7 Touch

Business Productivity

Educational Use

Students benefit from the touchscreen for note-taking and the lightweight design for campus mobility. The 720p IR webcam supports secure Windows Hello login and clear video calls. MIL-STD-810G durability withstands daily wear, and the 512GB SSD offers ample storage, though heavy users may need cloud solutions.

Media Consumption

The FHD touchscreen delivers clear visuals for streaming, with Bang & Olufsen audio enhancing sound. The 45% NTSC gamut limits color accuracy for creative tasks, and the processor may lag with multiple HD streams, but the touchscreen adds interactivity.
