HP ProBook 450 G2 Notebook Review

With stamina. The ProBook 450 G2 attracts buyers with its low heating, low system noise, good input devices, and long battery runtimes. The display is a major weakness. In addition, HP charges a steep price for the computer.

matte screen, fast Solid State Disk, free M.2 slot, very good battery life, works quietly, gets hardly warmer, two Windows operating systems

dark, low-contrast screen, just 12-months warranty, steep price

I love the pro book series. Solid construction, made to last, great performance and tend to last many years

It has driver/hardware problems ; The more recent Bios update and the latest drivers from HP plus the latest drivers from Intel for Bluetooth and Wifi. Then disable power management on the Bluetooth and Wifi will make Windows 8.1 run pretty well ;...

Solid and reliable

It was super easy to set up and runs perfectly. It may be a bit heavy but the tradeoff is that you're getting all the bells and whistles of USB ports and other connectivity ports that make life easier.
