- Is the HP ProBook 450 G8 good for everyday work?
- Yes. The i5-1135G7 and SSD handle documents, email, video calls and many browser tabs. Heavy multitasking will want more RAM.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. The bottom cover lifts off for access to the two SO-DIMM slots and the M.2 SSD, so both can be replaced.
- Does it have a touchscreen?
- No. The 15.6-inch panel is a non-touch matte 1920x1080 display.
- How does it compare with the ProBook 450 G9?
- The G9 moves to 12th-gen Intel chips with more cores and usually ships with newer ports and Wi-Fi. The G8 remains adequate and is easier to find with older pricing.
- Is the display good for photo or video editing?
- Not really. It is dim with limited color coverage, so color-critical work needs an external monitor.
- What ports does it have?
- Two USB-A, one USB-C, HDMI, a headphone jack and a microSD reader. There is no optical drive.
- Where is the HP ProBook 450 G8 15.6-inch cheapest?
- At Newegg, for $949.97, as of our latest check.
