HP EliteBook 840 G3 - Pros & Cons

WQHD panel can be calibrated very well
TN panel was a bit better in this respect
provides more travel and a better feedback in general
precise and very ergonomic control of the cursor
cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye
The viewing angles are excellent
superior to the Full-HD TN version in almost every respect
The former is solid and torsion-resistant
The pad is responsive up into the peripheral areas and has a smooth surface
good 1080p display
fast performance and decent battery life
fast
durable
comfortable to use-
the information is totally objective and authentic

shoulder-surf will only see a black screen
low sharpness and washed-out colors
frequency is too low
users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches
screen shows relatively slow response rates
notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession
Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to
feeble graphics managed to run Sid Meier's
dimly lit apartment was a noisy mess
chunky and bland to get work done
my skin still looked blotchy
fail to stand out in any way
Battery life is on the middling side
