Why This Refurbished HP Probook 440 G1 Is an Incredible Buy

Posted by Team Recompute on 26th Feb 2019

A good business laptop needs to withstand a lot of work in a day. Making those deadlines, hitting those targets, finalising reports or being carried around from one meeting room to another. It needs to be able to work just as hard as you do. 

That's why these workhorses are held to a totally different standard than the basic retail laptops designed for basic home use.  

Today, we want to share the HP Probook 440 G1 with you. It is a powerful business laptop that delivers value along with performance. It even has a few bells and whistles you wouldn't normally find on a laptopin this price range. 

There are three things we look for in a professional laptop:

  • durability

  • daily performance

  • and IT management.

First, we'll look at how the HP Probook stacks up. We'll then share a secret that can make this ProBook your best office machine purchase ever. 

Durability

The rugged case and aluminum reinforced keyboard on this model can withstand some very heavy duty typing because it was MIL-STD-810G tested. This is the same kind of testing that military equipment gets. The ProBook 440 passed with flying colors.

After  cracked screens, spills cause 60% of laptop repairs. The 440 G1 features a spill-resistant keyboard.

An anti-glare screen coating for those of you who just don’t like the extra light reflecting off your screen making viewing difficult, rounds out some of the features you normally only find on business-end machine. 

Daily Performance

The 440 G1 is lighter than several rivals, which is great if you're hauling it back and forth to the office or meeting rooms all day. At 1.73 kgs it is lighter and thinner than Lenovo Thinkpad, Dell Latitude and Toshiba Tecra.

The sound quality of the 440 G1 is fantastic. There is enough microphone and speaker power for clear sharing in a midsized conference room and remote meeting connections. 

Computing performance is great for work too. Whether you’re a designer using Illustrator or Balsamiq, or a data analyst using SPSS or Octave, or an accountant running MYOB, Xero or Quicken, thanks to its Intel core i5 or i7 processor and 8GB of RAM you can comfortably make your creations and then present them in meetings.

Battery life should get you through that presentation and everything else a standard seven and half hour day should hold. This, however, is another area where the Lenovo and Toshiba offerings will slightly outperform the HP. They usually hold up for another 30 minutes to round out the eight-hour day. 

IT Management

IT Managers will love to see a TPM (Trusted Mobile Platform Module) chip. The HP 440 G1 also includes the HP BioSphere. Touchpoint Manager software allows your IT team to remotely manage hardware issues including diagnosis, device locking, and disk wiping.

The HP Probook 440 G1 Surprises

As you've seen, the HP Probook 440 G1 holds a number of pleasant surprises for someone looking for a high value, low-dollar business laptop investment.
