Performance in real use
The 840 G5 posts a PassMark CPU Mark of about 5,900 to 6,100, only marginally below the newer G6, so in everyday use the two feel nearly identical. Four cores and eight threads plus a fast NVMe SSD comfortably run Windows 11, Microsoft Office, Zoom and Teams calls, 15 to 20 browser tabs, accounting software, email, WhatsApp Web and 1080p video. The 16GB model is the smarter choice if you multitask heavily or run virtual machines. The step from an old hard-drive laptop to this SSD-based machine is the single biggest speed improvement most buyers notice.
The main practical difference versus the G6 is screen brightness: the G5 standard panel is rated at 220 nits against 250 nits on the G6, which is a small difference indoors. If you want the absolute latest of this generation, choose the G6; if you want the best value, the G5 is the one to buy.
