It can be considered as “Retina” from at least 60 cm.

The version of the notebook we’ve tested comes with a Full HD (1920×1080) IPS display manufactured by CHI MEI (CMN15D3) and offers 142 ppi, 0.18 x 0.18 mm pixel pitch.
The battery is rated at 48Wh and can be accessed only by a full disassembly. The Wi-Fi adapter is located under the service lid and it’s Intel 8265NGW. The chips can be accessed via the big service lid. The motherboard supports two RAM chip slots each going up to 16GB of DDR4-2400 memory but our unit had only 8GB of RAM. It has now been moved to the upper left corner of the keyboard right above the ESC key where it’s almost impossible to run your finger through the scanner without pressing the ESC button. And while we are on the interior, we would like to point out the new utterly awkward fingerprint reader placement. We found it to be pretty stable, responsive and offering light mouse clicks. We were worried for a second there since budget laptops’ clickpads tend to be wobbly, stiff and unresponsive. Another major change in the current generation is the touchpad – now instead of separate mouse buttons, the touchpad becomes a clickpad. Also, the layout is pretty standard so users will get used to it pretty fast. The key travel is more than satisfactory, the slightly concaved keycaps aid for a more comfortable typing experience and the tactile feedback make it ideal for typing. The keyboard remains practically the same with some small visual changes to the edges. Regardless, the brushed aluminum sheet feels pretty robust and we couldn’t find exceptionally weak spots – the slight bending that may occur here and there shouldn’t be of anyone’s concern. With the aesthetically pleasing design changes to the interior, there are is one practical issue – the dark gray color of the interior makes the fingerprints and smudges quite visible while the metallic color in the previous two generations didn’t have that problem. We investigate in our thorough review below. And at the end, we would like to know if the ProBook 450 G5 was able to set the bar higher or just blend with the rest of the market for now. In any case, we still want to have strict answers about the display’s quality, presumably improved battery life and performance compared to the previous generation. In addition, the totally revamped chassis now aligns more with today’s modern appearance and more importantly, it’s smaller in size although, not much weight has been dropped.Īnd despite having only TN panels as an option, the device impresses in all other key areas that are rarely overlooked by the business buyers. Sporting the latest generation of Intel Core CPUs but paired with the same GeForce 930MX GPU, which is only useful for light graphically-demanding tasks and multimedia anyway. HP’s ProBook lineup has always offered one of the best value budget business notebooks and with the latest generation ProBook 450 G5, the OEM wants to set the bar even higher.
