HP's new ProBook 430 G4 is the entry-level business model. The Kaby Lake update leaves a good initial impression, but some details reveal that you are not on the executive floor the original German review, see here. HP is one of the first manufacturers to offer its business notebooks with Intel's new Kaby Lake processor generation. The devices from the ProBook series represent the entry into the business segment, followed by the much more expensive EliteBooks. Compared to consumer systems, business laptops have a bigger focus on security and good input devices. Our review model today is the ProBook 430 G4. The subnotebook is the smallest and most portable system. HP currently charges around 1,050 Euros ~$1101 for the configuration Y8B47EA with a modern Kaby Lake chip from Intel, 8 GB RAM, an IPS panel as well as a dual-storage system consisting of a 256 GB SDD and a 1 TB HDD. The office devices from other big manufacturers like Dell and Lenovo were not updated yet, but we expect new systems in Q1 2017. We therefore use the following comparison devices for our article Dell XPS 13 FHD, Lenovo ThinkPad 13 Ultrabook, Lenovo IdeaPad 710S and Acer Aspire S GB , DDR4-2133, Single-Channel, 1/2 Slots free, up to 16 inch 169, 1920 x 1080 pixel 166 PPI, LGD052D, IPS, glossy noMainboardIntel Kaby Lake-U Premium PCHStorageSanDisk SD8SNAT256G1002, 256 GB , + 1TB HDD WD10SPCX, 5400 rpm, 1200 GB freeSoundcardIntel Kaby Lake-U/Y PCH - High Definition AudioConnections1 USB 2 USB / Gen1, 1 VGA, 1 HDMI, 1 Kensington Lock, Audio Connections mm Headset, Card Reader SD, SDHC, SDXC, 1 Fingerprint ReaderNetworkingRealtek RTL8168/8111 Gigabit-LAN 10/100/1000MBit/s, Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 a/b/g/h/n = Wi-Fi 4/ac = Wi-Fi 5/, Bluetooth x width x depth in mm x 330 x = x x inBattery48 Wh Lithium-Ion, 3 cells, Battery runtime according to manufacturer 16 hOperating SystemMicrosoft Windows 10 Pro 64 BitAdditional featuresSpeakers Stereo, Keyboard Chiclet, Keyboard Light yes, 45-Watt power adapter, HP Tools, Office 365 trial, 12 Months kg = oz / pounds, Power Supply 295 g = oz / poundsNote The manufacturer may use components from different suppliers including display panels, drives or memory sticks with similar chassis with black elements – the ProBook 430 G4 is clearly an HP laptop. Contrary to the predecessor ProBook 430 G3, the lid is not black anymore, it is now also silver. The visual appearance is actually quite sophisticated and the system should feel at home in office environments. HP uses a plastic chassis, only the top of the base unit was reinforced with aluminum and is also a bit cooler to touch. The stability is pretty good and even a lot of pressure can only dent the center area a bit, which is accompanied by quiet creaking sounds. The display is not that good, as it can easily be twisted and pressure will also result in ripples on the screen. One new feature compared to the previous model is the hinges, because HP now uses a drop-down mechanism. They have a plastic cover and are pretty taut. The resistance is well-adjusted, and you can still open the lid with just one hand. The maximum opening angle is unfortunately still limited at around 130 degrees. On the bottom are two maintenance hatches for access to the memory and the storage drives; the battery cannot be replaced. All in all, you get a solid chassis, which is a step above inexpensive consumer laptops in terms of quality. However, other subnotebooks with unibody constructions in the price segment around 1,000 Euros ~$1048 clearly have an advantage over the ProBook 430 G4. More expensive business notebooks perform better as well. The test model has the biggest footprint within our comparison group and is also the thickest device at almost 2 cm. This is also the case for the weight of almost kg. Still, we found the 13-inch system to be quite portable during our review period. The smaller and lighter competitors might still be a better option if you travel a lot. HP ProBook 430 G4-Y8B47EA Lenovo ThinkPad 13-20GKS01100 Acer Aspire S 13 S5-371-71QZ Lenovo IdeaPad 710S-13ISK Dell XPS 13 9360 FHD i5 DIN A4 ❌330 mm / 13 inch mm / inch mm / inch mm / inch mm / inch mm / inch lbs327 mm / inch 228 mm / inch mm / inch lbs307 mm / inch 214 mm / inch 14 mm / inch lbs304 mm / 12 inch 201 mm / inch 15 mm / inch lbs297 mm / inch 210 mm / inch 1 mm / inch lbsHP did not put a whole lot of effort into the port selection and only replaces one USB Type-A port with a Type-C jack – but the USB standard equivalent to USB did not change. Thunderbolt and USB are not available, and the power supply at this port is not possible, either. The USB port at the left side as well as the VGA output are a bit outdated, although the latter can still be handy in office environments. Digital video outputs are supported via HDMI, but high resolution 4K content is limited to 30 Hz. The performance of the USB ports does not show any limitations, because we managed transfer rates of around 390 MB/s in combination with our Samsung SSD T3. Still, the port selection is not very convincing from a productive point of view. There is no real docking port, so you will have to use common USB replicators, which means you need at least the power supply as well. The USB ports are also located pretty far to the front – handy for USB drives, but not very convenient for the permanent attachment of devices. The SD-card reader manages average transfer rates in our tests. Values of almost 90 MB/s for sequential read operations and around 76 MB/s when we copy JPEG pictures ~5 MB each are not unusual for modern notebooks, but our reference card from Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II, up to 260 MB/s has more potential. Only Dell's XPS 13 is much faster within our comparison a Gigabit Ethernet port, the ProBook 430 G4 can obviously use wireless networks as well. The use of the slightly outdated Intel 7265 module is a bit surprising, but it still works really well in practice. Thanks to the support for fast ac networks and the MIMO technology, there should not be limitations any time soon. The theoretical transfer rate is 866 Mbps, but we only manage about a third of that in our standardized WLAN test with the router Linksys EA8500. This is a bit surprising since the two bigger siblings ProBook 440 G4 and 450 G4 perform better with the same module. Subjectively, the connection was still very reliable and quick. Bluetooth is supported as well. The button right above the keyboard is very convenient, as it can be used to activate/deactivate all wireless connections. The spec sheet lists three more WLAN modules, so there can be differences depending on the SKU Realtek b/g/n 1x1, Intel 3168 ac, 1x1, 433 Mbps and Intel 8265 ac, 2x2, 866 Mbps. A WWAN module HP lte4132 is an optional extra. Above the display are two microphones and the HD webcam. While there is no criticism for the microphones, we cannot see any improvements for the webcam in the end of 2016. You can recognize the other person and the quality might be sufficient for video conferences, but that's about security features are more important for business notebooks compared to consumer models; the ProBook can meet most of our expectations. HP implements a Trusted Platform Module as well as a fingerprint scanner. The latter worked reliably during our review, but you should not swipe the finger too quickly. Modern touch sensors are much more comfortable in this respect. HP also adds some software solutions including the central hub HP Security Manager, where you can manage all security settings very comfortably – including the fingerprints and the drive encryption. A SmartCard reader is unfortunately not available for the ProBook, not even as an optional also want to mention the BIOS at this point. It is very easy to use with the touchpad and offers comprehensive settings. You can find a brief overview in the screenshots box of the HP ProBook 430 G4 only includes the 45-Watt power adapter and some service brochures. HP also offers some optional accessories like USB-C docking stations, power adapters and are two maintenance hatches on the bottom of the notebook, but the maintainability is still rather limited. Both hatches are only secured by one Philips screw, but you should still be careful since there are numerous small plastic clips. After the removal, you gain access to the hard drive, the SSD, the memory 1x slot free as well as the WLAN module. The position of the CMOS battery underneath the bar between the two storage drives is a bit unfortunate. Accessing it will require the removal of the whole bottom panel, which is – similar to other notebooks from HP – secured by small Torx standard warranty period is 12 months, which is another difference to high-end business laptops usually 36 months. It is possible to extend the service with CarePacks from HP. A three-year worldwide on-site service UL653E, for example, retails for around 190 Euros ~$199. Please see our Guarantees, Return Policies & Warranties FAQ for country-specific Business notebooks are often defined by their input devices, which are often superior to consumer models. The black chiclet keyboard of the ProBook is no exception. It has a quiet stroke combined with a decent pressure point, so the input is well-suited for frequent writers. Only the layout with the function keys at the right side and the small vertical directional keys might require a small learning period. The keyboard has a two-stage white illumination, so it is no problem to work in darker environments. The illumination is deactivated after 15 seconds by default, but this setting can be adjusted in the BIOS. There are also other options like FN-Ctrl Swap. The keyboard is generally superior to many modern consumer subnotebooks, where key travel is often reduced in favor of a thin chassis. However, EliteBooks from HP or ThinkPads from Lenovo are equipped with even better touchpad is sufficiently sized at x 11 cm. It is provided by Synaptics, but the comprehensive drivers' panel is not installed. This means you are limited to the usual Windows settings by default. The touchpad is implemented as a ClickPad with integrated buttons and works well in practice for the most part. Only small movements are not always perfectly executed on the slightly roughened surface, because you have to overcome a small initial resistance. The buttons worked reliably. Contrary to the more expensive EliteBooks, however, there is no per usual for many business laptops, HP offers several displays for the ProBook 430 G4. We are a bit surprised about the fact that there is still a TN panel with the meager resolution of 1366x768 pixels in the end of 2016. A touchscreen with the same HD resolution is available as well. Our test model is equipped with the matte Full HD IPS screen from LG LGD052D. The resolution of 1920x1080 pixels results in a pixel density of 166 PPI on the panel. This is a good compromise between a crisp picture, space, and power consumption. Subjectively, we really like the picture. The luminance is not controlled via PWM, and there is only minor backlight bleeding at the lower edge, which was not annoying in practice. Screen Flickering / PWM Pulse-Width ModulationℹTo dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation PWM . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering flickering / PWM not detectedIn comparison 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19200 minimum 5 - maximum 3846000 Hz was measured. 260cd/m²261cd/m²256cd/m²244cd/m²253cd/m²244cd/m²240cd/m²240cd/m²240cd/m² Distribution of brightnessLGD052DX-Rite i1Pro 2Maximum 261 cd/m² Nits Average cd/m² Minimum 14 cd/m²Brightness Distribution 92 %Center on Battery 252 cd/m²Contrast 7911 Black cd/m²ΔE Color Greyscale sRGB Argyll 3D AdobeRGB 1998 Argyll 3D AdobeRGB 1998 Argyll 3D sRGB Argyll 3D Display P3 Argyll 3DGamma ProBook 430 G4-Y8B47EALGD052D, , 1920x1080, Aspire S 13 S5-371-71QZAUO , 1920x1080, XPS 13 9360 FHD i5Sharp SHP1449 LQ133M1, , 1920x1080, IdeaPad 710S-13ISKSharp SHP 1447 / LQ133M1JW15, , 1920x1080, ThinkPad 13-20GKS01100LP133WF2-SPL1, , 1920x1080, ProBook 430 G3 P5T00ESSamsung, , 1366x768, Display P3 27% 72% -1% -7% sRGB 27% 69% -1%54 -7% AdobeRGB 1998 27% 72% 0% -7%Response Times-15%-2%-7%-2%-26% Response Time Grey 50% / Grey 80% * ? ?22, 28-18% ?16, ? 34-24% ? ?

We can determine an average brightness of almost 250 nits with a contrast of 7911 black value cd/m². The luminance was still sufficient in practice, not least thanks to the matte panel color accuracy is also pretty decent ex-works with average DeltaE-2000 deviations of for the colors and for the grayscale compared to the sRGB reference color space. We can see the biggest deviations for blue and purple, which does not really change after a calibration either, where the grayscale performance benefits the most. Still, there is no blue cast ex-works. The panel is not suited for professional picture editing due to the small color gamut 58% sRGB, 37% AdobeRGB. Display Response TimesℹDisplay response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry ghosting.

The luminance is not reduced on battery power and the outdoor capabilities are actually not that bad thanks to the matte panel surface – despite the average luminance. Only direct light sources will be too challenging for the background illumination. The viewing-angle stability of the IPS panel is very good, but we have also seen better models. There is sometimes a slight gray hue when you change the angle, but the contents were still perfectly test model with the modern Intel Core i7 processor and the SSD is very fast in practice and provides plenty of performance for all common tasks. However, it is also one of the most expensive SKUs, and the processor range covers everything from Pentium all the way up to the Core i7. There are also models without SSDs, which will clearly affect the subjective performance impression. One positive aspect is the memory with two slots not soldered, so upgrades are easy. Dedicated graphics cards are not available for the ProBook 430 uses the current top model from Intel's ULV lineup, the Core i7-7500U. It is a dual-core processor with a TDP of 15 Watts based on the latest Kaby lake architecture, which was introduced a couple of months ago. The chip is manufactured in an improved 14-nm process, which reduces the power consumption and therefore improves the Turbo Boost utilization. The clocks are much higher compared to the previous Skylake Core i7-6500U up to GHz and both cores can now reach up to generally follows Intel's TDP target but allows a higher consumption of 25 Watts for the first 28 seconds. However, the temperature is actually the limiting factor under load. We can only see the full Turbo of GHz for both cores for a couple of seconds under load, before the clocks drop to GHz. The benchmark results are still good, and our test model can beat all the comparison devices. The performance is limited on battery power, where the Turbo Boost is deactivated by default. Tasks are therefore executed with up to GHz to reduce the power consumption. If you need all the performance on the go, you can change this setting in the BIOS Enable Turbo Boost on DC.

Match % HelpHD Tune 1 TB HDDHP equips our test model with an SSD from SanDisk. It is a system drive with a capacity of 256 GB, but it only uses the SATA-III interface. This means transfer rates are limited to around 500-550 MB/s, which is supported by the benchmarks at least sequential read. Our drive manages little more than 500 MB/s, but it only manages 330 MB/s for write operations. Modern PCIe-NVMe drives manage much higher sequential transfer rates, but the difference is smaller for the 4K results, which are more important in practice. You will therefore not notice a big difference in everyday situations. HP also implements a hard drive with a storage capacity of 1 TB. The drive from Western Digital runs at 5400 rpm and is therefore ideal for large amounts of data.

It can reach a maximum core clock of 1050 MHz in combination with the i7 processor. Similar to the previous HD Graphics 520, the GPU has 24 Execution Units, but the performance was further improved. At least in theory, because the memory of our ProBook only runs in a single-channel configuration, so it cannot utilize the full potential of the HD Graphics 620.

If you still want to play a game during a lunch break, you should focus on older or less demanding titles. However, the native FHD resolution is still too challenging. It is possible to increase the GPU performance a bit with the addition of a second memory idle & maximum loadThe HP ProBook 430 G4 is usually a very quiet device with light and medium workloads, where the fan is often deactivated. The mechanical hard drive is a bit annoying in this case. The murmur is not loud, but it is still audible. The fan will spin up under load, but around 33 dBA is still pretty quiet. We only reached the maximum noise level under sustained maximum load, but 36 dBA is still not really a problem. We could not hear other annoying sounds like coil whining or the like.

Both the processor as well as the graphics card can only maintain their maximum clocks for a very short period in our stress test with the tools Prime95 and FurMark. The chip reaches 86 °C after a couple of seconds, which will limit the consumption from 25 to 15 Watts. The result is CPU throttling to GHz. The GPU has a bit more headroom and maintains 850-900 MHz.

Test model courtesy of HP fourth generation of the ProBook 430 is a solid, but also rather conservative update of HP's business notebook. The manufacturer does not make any compromises in terms of chassis, performance, battery runtimes and the optional IPS display. A look at the port selection and the security features, however, quickly shows that we are dealing with an entry-level business machine. HP does implement a USB-C port, but it is only based on the standard. A docking port is not available, either, which will complicate the integration into your working environment. A SmartCard reader is also missing. Kaby Lake, good display, and comfortable keyboard – the HP ProBook 430 G4 is a successful update of the subnotebook. There are some compromises though, and our test model is not a bargain, competition still has to launch their Kaby Lake updates, so we will have to wait a bit for the comparisons. Our test model is at the upper end of the ProBook line in terms of the price, so it has a hard time competing with the consumer systems. For more than 1,000 Euros ~$1048, you will get thinner Ultrabooks with modern ports and often better displays, but you will have to waive the security features and often the comfortable keyboard in return.

Of course, there are some other differences, which we will explore in this comprehensive has updated the ProBooks with 2020 technology. Models with Intel CPUs like the ProBook 430 G7 use the Comet Lake U series.

In the benchmarks, this WLAN module easily beats the older AC cards – though you need an Wi-Fi 6 router for that, of E22 E16 E18 EColorChecker HP ProBook 430 G7-8VU53EA E min - max EHP serves up quite a few screen options with the ProBook 430 G7. At the lower end, we find a HD TN panel. As the middle-of-the-road option, there is an FHD IPS panel and finally, the premium choice is a SureView FHD IPS screen with up to 1,000 cd/m². It gets more complicated because of the touch-options There are HD and FHD panels with touch – both of which are TN based. There are no IPS touch-panels available. The touchscreens are glossy, the non-touch panels are matte. For the normal non-touch FHD screen, HP advertises a brightness value of 250 cd/m². With an average of 284 cd/m², the review sample clearly beats this mark. The screen is roughly 50 cd/m² brighter than the panel used in the predecessor. This is progress, but the FHD LCD of the more expensive HP EliteBook 830 G5 is still a lot brighter. This is one point where the price difference is clearly visible. The measured PWM value of 1000 Hz does not give us headaches, it would have to be substantially lower for that. 287cd/m²288cd/m²285cd/m²279cd/m²300cd/m²285cd/m²270cd/m²288cd/m²280cd/m² Distribution of brightnessBOE08A6X-Rite i1Pro 2Maximum 300 cd/m² Nits Average cd/m² Minimum cd/m²Brightness Distribution 90 %Center on Battery 296 cd/m²Contrast 12001 Black cd/m²ΔE Color calibrated Greyscale 4 sRGB Calman 2D sRGB Argyll 3D AdobeRGB 1998 Argyll 3D AdobeRGB 1998 Argyll 3D sRGB Argyll 3D Display P3 Argyll 3DGamma ProBook 430 G7-8VU53EABOE08A6, IPS LED, 1920x1080, ProBook 430 G6-5TJ89EACMN1375, IPS LED, 1920x1080, EliteBook 830 G5-3JX74EAIVO M133NVF3-R0, IPS LED, 1920x1080, ThinkPad L390-20NR0013GELP133WF2-SPL8, IPS LED, 1920x1080, Latitude 5300LGD05ED-133WF6, IPS, 1920x1080, Display P3 -2% 50% -6% 59% sRGB 0% 42% -4% 50% AdobeRGB 1998 -2% 47% -5% 55%Response Times842%17%989%19% Response Time Grey 50% / Grey 80% * ? ? 1816%36 ? ? 2012%38 ?

This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering flickering / PWM detected 1000 Hz ≤ 99 % brightness settingThe display backlight flickers at 1000 Hz Likely utilizing PWM Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 99 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness frequency of 1000 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any comparison 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19200 minimum 5 - maximum 3846000 Hz was measured. There is nothing to critique about the viewing angle stability. Luckily, IPS panels have pretty much solved any problems in this angle stability HP ProBook 430 G7There is not a lot of choice in terms of CPUs and GPUs with the ProBook 430 G7 Buyers can choose between the Intel Core i5-10210U and the Core i7-10510U. Both contain the Intel UHD Graphics 620. There is a little more variety with the DDR4-2400-RAM Since it has two SO-DIMM slots, HP offers 8, 16 or 32 GB optional upgradability to 64 GB. In terms of storage, there is a single SSD with up to 512 GB and a Intel Core i7-10510U is the strongest quad core processor of the Comet Lake U series. The four cores work with to GHz, with a typical maximum consumption of 15 W. The CPU benchmark-list allows for comparisons with other CPUs. In the Cinebench test, the CPU can consume 25 W for 30 seconds. Afterwards, a TDP limitation of 17 W goes into effect. In the loop test, this consumption can be held for a few runs, then it falls to 15 W. The clock-rates sit at GHz at this point and CPU temperatures hover around 82 degrees Celsius °F. The CPU performance disappoints a little, as it is only on-par with the preceding ProBook 430 G6. The older model only contained an i5, however. CPU performance is not worse, but also not better. In the battery mode, we were able to detect a performance limitation. Instead of 600 points, the HP laptops only scored around 450 points in the Cinebench R15 multicore test. 03570105140175210245280315350385420455490525560595TooltipCinebench R15 CPU Single 64Bit180 Points Cinebench R15 CPU Multi 64Bit596 Points Cinebench R15 OpenGL fps Cinebench R15 Ref.

The basic verdict of the HP ProBook 430 G6 holds true. The comparably affordable office laptop has many positives on its side The comfortable keyboard, the extremely good upgradability or the SD card reader. All of these points should be enough to make the ProBook into an ideal companion device for many students or self-employed users. The internal changes are at the same time both positive and negative. Wi-Fi 6 is with no doubt a great improvement. The newer Comet Lake processor on the other hand does not manage to outperform the older Whiskey Lake predecessor. Despite the performance stagnation, the ProBook runs warmer than the older model and is less enduring when it comes to the battery life. Those are not bad enough to be outright negatives, but they also are not really positive aspects. There are other new problems The pulsating fan and the DPC latency problem. Apart from those, the negatives of the old model remain The screen has a weak color gamut coverage, Thunderbolt and business features are missing and there is no pointing-stick. The HP ProBook 430 G7 is not a big upgrade by any means. But that was also not really necessary, as the older model was already a pretty good office owners of the ProBook 430 G6 upgrade? Not really. In general, we do recommend the ProBook, but HP should at least fix the annoying pulsating fan with a firmware-update.

Technology should make our lives and work easier and good laptops are an essential tool for that to happen. This is why laptop reviews are not just my work but are also my passion. Benjamin Herzig, 2020-05-23 Update 2020-06-17 23 December 2019 / 0200 0 The ProBook 430 G6 is part of one of the most solid laptop families out there. It is perfectly stable and gives you some security features, you won’t see on your daily Pavilion notebook.

Remove the bottom plate So, if you are familiar with the ProBook 430 from last year, you are going to expect that this laptop is going to feature a service lid as well. For good or for bad, however, HP got rid of it, in favor of easier access to all of the internals. This now happens by removing the entire bottom panel of the device, which is held by 7 Phillips-head screws. Weirdly, two of them are free to come off the panel itself, while the rest of them stay attached. 2. Battery Its battery is not the biggest out there – 45Wh. However, it can be removed by unscrewing only two Phillips-head screws. On the other side, in order to unplug the battery from the motherboard, you actually need to remove it. 3. Memory and storage Upgradability-wise, we found a rare picture in the 13-inch laptop world. There are two RAM DIMMs that, depending on the processor you get the laptop with, support up to 32GB of DDR4 memory. Additionally, there is a single slot, which can fit a PCIe NVMe device. 4. Cooling system Don’t expect miracles from this notebook’s cooling. It resembles only one heat pipe, which is rather long for the chassis. On the bright side, the hot air is exhausted from the side, which gives it a lot more breathing room, than if it was exhausted from in between the display and the base.
