HP ProBook 450 G3 Notebook Review

[Redaktion]

Office all-rounder. The Probook 450 G3's assets are found in low temperature development, quiet operating noise, decent input devices, and a good battery life. However, the matte, Full HD screen is a shortcoming. The total bundle is throughout affordable at a price of approximately 640 Euros. A Windows operating system is not preloaded.

Hi all
have a simple question : is the M.2 slot a SATA or PCIe connector ?
If we are talking about a PCIe slot , we'll be able to boot in NVMe mode with a new 950pro ?
thanx a lot

According to their sales team Probook 450 G3 i5-6200U not available with FULL HD 1080p screen in the UK  - this is embarrasing. If anyone can proof that I'm wrong please paste exact Product number or GTFO :)

This review and the review of the 440 G3 are only reviewed with the 1920X1080 display.  I need the 1366X768 due to the larger size rendering of everything.  This review states the 1080 display does not have PWM.  However, another site had a review of the 440 G3 with the 768 monitor and although the same Intel Graphics 520, said the 768 display has aggressive PWM at 200 Hz.  I wish this site would have addressed the other display.  I was excited to receive my new computer I ordered (haven't received it yet), but now I more nervous.  I just returned a nice Asus that gave me horrible headaches due to this.  I took it from this site the HP 450 G3 768 would be OK, but now its looking like its not.  Does anyone have any better information on this, it would be greatly appreciated. :-\

Perfect laptop from HP! Just purchased the same model recently from wantITbuyIT. Normally, I don't read long posts, but it had been worth the time. The battery life is good unless you are doing something that involves a lot of processing power but do you recommend it for gaming?

Just bought this laptop but unfortunateley it doesn't match with the review. The cpu fan is almost always running and produces as much as 46 Db under average load.

Not for programmers!

In my work they bought a lot of these PC's, but we are programmers, the PC slow down, freezes, the fan is now damaged, too many blue screens while working. Not recommended for programming!
