Posted May 12, 2018 Quote Like clockwork, HP will be refreshing its lineup of business notebooks just in time for the back-to-school season. Both the mainstream ProBook series and flagship EliteBook series will be entering their respective 4th and 5th generations alongside AMD Ryzen HP has introduced a new line of AMD power Elitebook and Probook laptops. The Elitebook gets 3 new models, 735 G5, 745 G5, and 755 G5, while the Probook gets a single new model, the 645 G4. All of the Elitebooks uses AMD Ryzen with Radeon VEGA, while the Probook uses AMD Ryzen Pro with Radeon VEGA graphics. All of them supports up to 32GB of DDR4 of user replaceable memory in dual channel mode. For storage it supports both SATA and M.2 including NVMe as well as US Government encryption standard FIPS 140-2. The Elitebooks comes with a 13" for the 735, 14" on the 745, and 15.6" for the 755. For Probook it comes with a 14". All of them has a resolution of 1920x1080, IPS panel, optional touch, and while all of them have a 1920x1080 resolution, the Probook also has a entry level screen at 1366x768. For keyboard they're spill resistant and comes with drain ports. On the connectivity side of things, it comes with gigabit lan, 1x1 or 2x2 wifi with Bluetooth, USB 3.1 including type C, HDMI 2.0, Secure Card, and Intel XMM 7360 LTE module. Price will range from $760 to $1,000+ and will be available at the end of May. With the introduction of a intergrated cellular module like the Intel XMM 7630, it would be interesting to see if other laptop manufactures will soon follow or they will wait until 5G becomes available.

Absolutely zero reasons we should still be using that resolution nowadays even on the cheapest of the cheap laptops. Considering it was a thing on cheap laptops in 2010, definitely.

Posted May 12, 2018 Glad to see laptop makers hopping on the Ryzen APU bandwagon. I just don't understand why they're more expensive/as expensive than MX 150 laptops. Any thoughts here? I see no reason to buy the one with the APU over the MX 150 and it's kind of disapointing because I feel like the APU would automatically mean better battery lifes and easier cooling even if it performs a little less than the MX150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know their target audience, it seems to me these resolutions are quite common leading me to think there are plenty of people who want a bit more power but don't want to pay for extra resolution (cad work/engineering maybe?).

Posted May 12, 2018 HP are finally making decent looking laptops. At least it appears as though they are no longer making it so you take the keyboard off to access the internals.

I use arch linux on it with i3 gaps on 256 SSD it's much faster then many new laptops with HDDs or even SSDs if they use Shitndows on it My laptop has changable CPU you can put 4 core/8 thread i7 in it but you can do nothing about GPU HD 4000 is limit. I am going to replace it with Lenovo t440s 1080p IPS screen or this probool makes me blind. Computer users fall into two groups: those that do backups those that have never had a hard drive fail.

No reason laptops should be gimped by a resolution someone has decided to keep around even though it should have died years ago. I never said 1080 was high resolution, I said not everyone needs high resolution. This means some people are clearly happy with 768 (or low resolution). Given the standard is 1080 on these laptops and 768 is an option for entry level, this tells me there is a market for it and some people don't want to pay for 1080. I would argue price is a reason to keep offering a 768 model. Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge. Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

Adding a discrete GPU to a laptop makes them so much more expensive and if I was trying to enjoy my Minecraft, Rocket League etc. on an integrated GPU I'd probably appreciate the better FPS on a lower native resolution.
