HP ProBook 445 G7 1F3K7EA

Advantages: Strict design, light weight, upgradeable.

Disadvantages: The display is so-so. But not the worst. Fragile latches, one has already broken)))

Comment: HP ProBook 445 G7 1F3K9EA. 14 "LED / 1920x1080 FHD / AMD Ryzen 5 / 4500U / 2300 MHz / AMD Radeon HD Graphics / 8 Gb / SSD / 256 GB / No / DOS / no OS / 1.6 kg. I bought this model for almost 44 rubles https: / /www8.hp.com/ru/ru/laptops/product-details/38216037. It can be easily upgraded. But you need to remove the cover very carefully, the latches are evil. I tried to install an old HDD - it didn’t work. BIOS - gives a disk error. I installed 860 EVO and memory 8 GB. Native disk - 2280 NVMe from HP. It turned out - 750 GB / SSD b 16 GB RAM. So far enough Native memory Samsung 3200, I read that someone has Hynix 3200. In general, you can't guess with the manufacturer, but 3200 is SSD 2.5 is not fixed. The cable is stupidly connected and installed in the compartment, pressed by the lid. I do not play games and there is nothing to compare with. I did not test the autonomy either, but I was pleasantly surprised that the adapter is quite light and compact. For 44000 + 5500 (500GB 860 EVO) + 3000 (GB DDR4-3200) = 52,500 for a light, efficient (4500U ryzen / 750GB SSD / 16GB RAM), with a decent external type of apparatus for study - work, I consider it a good buy. I downloaded firewood from the hp website by the serial number. Everything worked without problems. I bought it for my daughter to study. I'll add it later, in a month.

Advantages: Smart, quiet, expandable, decent set of connectors, good keyboard (but no backlight), good touchpad

Disadvantages: Keyboard without backlight The screen is mediocre, with PWM, there is no margin for brightness: it's ok in the room, but it's dark outside. But I mainly work with an external monitor, so no difference

Comment: Overall, approx. The case is very boring, a cheap office laptop, plastic, but sturdy. The Ryzen 4700U is very nimble. I put 2x16Gb DDR 3200 strips, 1Tb SSD Samsung 870 Evo Plus, an additional 2.5 "2Tb HDD - everything works flawlessly and very quickly. I connected a second monitor via USB-C, everything works. Thank you HP for not unsoldering the memory and there is additional. connector for the disk. Recently, the mod has gone to solder everything, stopped buying Lenovo T-series because of this (and it's a pity, there used to be a good professional series)

Advantages: AMD Ryzen 3 4300U, very nimble and cold. The fan is quiet and does not turn on frequently. Two SO-DIMM sockets, 3200 MHz. In the factory configuration, only one is occupied, therefore, out of the box, the memory works in single-channel mode. Western Digital NVMe SSD included. IPS screen decent. Long battery life. 5-6 hours in office tasks is not a problem, and still the charge remains. Not a joke. Aluminum display lid and keyboard panel plus cooling. Three USB-A connectors (1 USB 2.0, 2 USB 3.1), USB-C with video output. Not a bad web camera 1280x720, good microphone. "Resilient" keyboard. Relatively large touchpad. Build quality. No creaks or backlash. The mode of operation of the F-keys is changed with a slight movement of two fingers, no need to climb into EFI. Webcam shutter for the paranoid.

Disadvantages: No key to disable the touchpad. HP why? A trifle, but unpleasant. High-frequency speakers. The sound falls through already on the midrange, forget about even the semblance of bass. Very brittle case latches. Even with careful disassembly, 2-3 break down. No frame for installing SATA disk included. The signature piece of bent aluminum looks like it's made of gold.

Comment: Complete set 1F3K7EA # ACB. Windows 10 gets up without problems, drivers are picked up immediately. It performs all the functions that are required from a laptop with a large performance margin. Suitable for not very demanding games. After the purchase, a Kingston KVR32S22S8 / 8 memory stick was added in addition to the existing 8GB factory one. It started up without problems, now, as expected, the memory works in two-channel mode. In CPU-Z, memory slots are not defined, only timings (22-22-22-52). Also, another SSD is installed in the SATA slot, but since there is no frame for 2.5 "drives in the kit, and the native one costs about 3 thousand (spare part number L44510-001, who is interested, and the SATA cable is already installed in the laptop) , then glued with double-sided tape, on the side of the case glued two strips of polypropylene foam to cushion and press the disc to the installation site.

Advantages: - Ryzen 3 4300U. A smart processor with the performance of a desktop (4-core), and this with very low heat dissipation; The chassis is able to maintain the boost frequency (3700 MHz with a real 25 W heat dissipation) for a long time, although it can be seen that the cooling is at its limit (there are temperature jumps up to 95 degrees). - Great integrated graphics. For example, Bioshock Infinite at very high in Full HD produces a stable 30 fps. For a person who has seen only GMA and HD Graphics in a laptop before, this is impressive. - Decent work autonomy. I spent 4 hours working on the code and watching a video with an average brightness - from 90% the charge dropped only to 40%. You can spend 2 hours playing hard with a balanced work plan. So far, the battery has not worn out at all, yet a month and a half has only passed, - An impressive set of ports - as many as 4 USB ports (1x 3.0 Type-C, 2x 3.0, 1x 2.0), an SD card slot, HDMI and 3.5mm Jack. - Wide interchangeability compared to modern solutions. You can put a 2.5 "disk and 2 memory sticks, replace the built-in NVMe-drive and Wi-Fi module. - Memory became a pleasant bonus. Although the specifications say about 2400 MHz, in fact, there was a Samsung 3200 MHz memory stick inside. I closed the second channel with an 8 GB plate, eventually getting 16 GB 3200 MHz. - The keyboard is convenient to use, but here I may be lying, - I constantly used the most varied, including netbook ones, and therefore not particularly whimsical. The fingerprint scanner works, albeit usually on the second try. - Design. Looks not cheap and stylish, although this, really, is purely my opinion, not a fact. Actually, the laptop is assembled qualitatively, there is no wrangling about this.

Disadvantages: - The display, although IPS, albeit Full HD, is unfortunately dim both in terms of brightness and in terms of color reproduction, even with the Vari-Bright disabled from AMD. Some drawings appear to be lacking color, which makes them appear flat. - The microphone initially did not work, although it seems to be there, somewhere near the webcam.I'm not sure if this is a problem specifically with my model, but I did not return it under warranty, because there is already a headset. - Opening the laptop, it is easy to scratch the case. The cover is held by 7 bolts and latches, which are difficult to hook at first.

Comment: The laptop was taken at the end of August for 37,500 rubles, as the cheapest solution without compromises. In the cheaper ones, there were mainly problems with the screen (TFT TN, ardent greetings to Lenovo), with graphics (HD Graphics and no discrete) and / or with memory (I wanted exactly two-channel 16 GB, now or later). An additional point was the desire to try the new generation of Ryzen 4000 processors, and it did not disappoint me in the least. With the tasks for which the laptop was bought (editing heavy RAW photos in Photoshop, games of the Rocket League level and older / lighter, watching BDRemux films, office for work), it does an excellent job.

Advantages: Build quality. Speed. Good sound, good screen.

Comment: In terms of CPU-Z, the processor speed is a little behind the desktop i7-6700K. In size and weight, a little more than HUAWEI MateBook D 14, but expandable memory and you can put a second ssd.

Advantages: Hp Probook 445 g7 1f3k6ea ruzen 7 4700u 16gb 512gb ssd The first thing that pleases me is the assembly. Aluminum top cover, keyboard panel too. Assembled firmly, completely without squeaks and backlashes. Opens like a macbook with one finger. The screen is pleasant, beautiful picture, rich colors, good viewing angles. Performance is excellent, the eight-core Ryzen 7 4700u works wonders. Even the built-in video made me happy: I'm not a gambling addict, I play about once every 5 years, but for the sake of chance I installed Cossacs 3. At maximum settings it pulls perfectly. Easily disassembled with a Phillips screwdriver for upgrades. You can expand the RAM, hard put another one.

Disadvantages: Didn't like the touchpad. Gestures, touchpad operation - everything is fine. But he does not register mechanical clicks clearly. That is, first click, and then push it to make a click. The moment is unpleasant, the thing is not cheap all the same, and such trifles could be followed. The screen has flashes, but only when it is black, during normal operation this is not visible. Screen with PWM, which means that saving the battery with the brightness of the screen, you will spoil your eyes. Screen brightness in offline mode is dim by default. Disable the dubious Vari Bright feature in the Amd Radeon settings, and this moment will go away. The battery of hours for 8 can be and can be stretched if you print in word. In real work, for example, with an open ide, a browser, frequent project assemblies, and a screen brightness that does not ruin the PWM eye, it will last for 4 - 5 hours.

Comment: Overall a very positive experience. If not for the touchpad, then I would have put 5/5.

Advantages: For my money, the top, I bought for 60 thousand.

Disadvantages: I forgot about charging through type-c, writes -low output power

Comment: It is about the modification 1F3L1EA that the laptop took 2.5 months ago for light programs such as android studio, fl studio, office and rare surfing in the internet ... I can only list the advantages as for me: thin, light, it lasts more than 6 hours I did not check it longer, I got to the outlet), the laptop is placed in a case for documents of type A4. the screen is not bad, my top. the latest AMD ryzer 7 4700u processor released in June 20, comparing performance with the latest i7 from intel released in November 19, Intel was weak and more expensive. The backlight of the keyboard, or rather its absence does not bother at all. wifi does not fly out of the word at all! bluetooth is paired almost instantly. cold start no more than 15 seconds. does not make any noise (the comments were scared that the cooler is noisy) it feels like there is no cooler))) does not heat up, the cooling is brought down, in the bed on the blanket it is barely warm after 1.5 hours, the cooling copes. In general, it costs its money, I have never regretted a purchase.
