The new ProBook follows the redesign of the EliteBook-800 series with a less rounded case, and the silver color is even more dominant in the design as before.
The ProBook 650 G4 is not really meant for those with a very small budget either: Our test unit with an Intel Core i5-8250U, 8 GB of RAM, and a 256-GB SSD has a recommended retail price of about 1050 Euros (~$1225 $1149 in the US) with the actual price often being about 200 Euros (~$233) lower.Ĭompared to its predecessor, the ProBook 650 G3, HP has completely reworked the design. There is also an in-house competitor in the form of the HP ProBook 450 G5, which is one step more affordable. Since these customers are hotly contested, is is a very competitive environment, and the competitors include well-known notebooks such as the Dell Latitude 5590, the Lenovo ThinkPad L570, or the Lenovo ThinkPad E580. And not every employee needs a notebook that has been optimized for robustness, since some laptops are almost only operated stationary and rarely being transported.Įxactly for such use cases, there are notebooks such as the HP ProBook 650 G4, which is our current test unit: a more affordable business laptop that still brings many features that are in demand in business surroundings. For companies that buy several thousand laptops for their employees, there is a lot of money involved, so every single Euro will count. But of course there is also some differentiation via the price in the laptop market for business customers. Compared to consumer laptops, you primarily pay a premium for the more stable, robust case and the security features. Business notebooks are generally not very affordable.
