HP ProBook 470 G5 [470G5 1LR91AVV24]

Laptop for professionals

If we leave out the gaming models like Omen and look at the Hewlett-Packard laptop range, we will see that the company is trying to produce balanced models aimed primarily at professionals. One notable example of this is the HP ProBook 470 G5.

Fast NVMe SSD

The laptop has a powerful quad-core Intel Core i5 processor of the latest generation with a clock frequency of 1.6 to 3.4 GHz. The amount of RAM out of the box is 16 GB and this stock will last for years to come. This bundle is complemented by a fast NVMe SSD with a capacity of 256 GB. The volume is not the most impressive, the additional HDD is definitely not enough, but the problem of lack of space can be solved in the future by installing an additional SSD in the M.2 slot

The discrete graphics card GeForce 930MX with 2 GB of video memory is responsible for the multimedia component. The graphics card is not the most powerful, but it is quite suitable for gaming and everyday use.

Classic appearance

The appearance of the HP ProBook 470 G5 tends more towards the usual laptop forms, there are quite noticeable frames around the display, and the base made of plastic and polished aluminium looks rather strict and elegant, even despite the rather large 17-inch form factor. The case itself is built to last, nothing creaks or backlash, the lid does not bulge, even if you make an effort. Separately, it is worth praising the cooling system — the laptop remains quiet even at peak loads.

Comfortable working keyboard

It is also necessary to pay tribute to the periphery. The keyboard is comfortable, thanks to the long key travel and low resistance to pressing force, this model is perfect for those who, on duty, have to type a lot. Plus, it is protected from moisture, like an accidentally overturned cup of tea.

High degree of protection

For data protection, a whole range of tools is provided, including a fingerprint scanner, a kensington lock and a TPM security module. Of the connectors for connection on the side of the HP ProBook 470 G5, there is one USB 2.0 port, a pair of USB 3.0 and one USB-C.

The model's focus on professionals is emphasized by decent battery life: 7.5 hours for web surfing and 2-3 hours for games.
