Office good partner HP ProBook 430 G4 Reviews

[IT168 evaluation] business in many notebook computers is a very unique category, on the performance of it is not as good as the game, on the appearance of it is not as stylish, light and thin as thin this, but has always been with the business of its calm atmosphere Demeanor and durability features are deeply loved by consumers. In addition to high-end business books with high prices and high prices, for mainstream newcomers or student friends, mainstream business books are the better choice. HP ProBook The series has always been the representative of mainstream business books.

Quality coating, metal scrub process not only touch the cold metal texture, but also to avoid contaminating fingerprints.

The logo on the A-side center is still familiar with the glossy finish, and it will not make people feel too monotonous. At the same time, this family-oriented design also gives ProBook and the high-end EliteBook a similar business temperament, and will not be due to ProBook's price-friendliness. The appearance of shrinking.

â–² A corner of arc processing

The D surface of the HP ProBook 430 G4 maintains the same silvery color as the A surface. At the same time, we can see that the HP ProBook 430 G4 is completely different from the EliteBook design. On the D side, HP did not use the popular one for this mainstream business product. Instead of maintaining a modular design that is very convenient for the hands-on party. This way, even if a middle-to-low model is purchased because of economic conditions at the time of purchase, the user experience can be greatly improved through post-upgrade. .

After watching the overall appearance of the HP ProBook 430 G4, let's take a look at the details of the fuselage.

â–² The right side of the fuselage from left to right are USB Type-C interface, USB3.0 interface, HDMI interface, VGA interface, RJ45 network interface and power hole

In terms of interface configuration, in addition to the popular VGA, HDMI, and RJ45 network ports in the business, the HP ProBook 430 G4 is also equipped with a USB Type-C interface that conforms to the development trend of mobile devices.

As a business book, performance is not the most important, and certainly not bad. In this regard, HP ProBook 430 G4 is equipped with the latest seventh-generation Core i5 processor i5-7200U, compared to the previous generation i5- 6500U, i5-7200U in the processor performance has not small increase, the default frequency is also raised to 2.5GHz, with seven generation i5 help out, HP ProBook 430 G4 to meet the office tasks naturally will not be too much problem. In addition, HP ProBook 430 G4 is also equipped with 4GB DDR4 memory and 500GB 7200 mechanical hard drive, how its performance, and Xiaobian together to see it.

â–² Configuration list

HP ProBook 430 G4 is equipped with the latest Intel Core i5-7200U processor, the core code name is Kaby Lake, based on the 14nm process, with dual-core four threads, three-level cache is 3MB, the default frequency is 2.5GHz, Turbo frequency up to 3.1 In GHz, whether it is the default frequency or the highest frequency, the i5-7200U is not a small increase compared to the i5-6500U. Through the CPU-Z test, we can see that, whether it is single-core performance or multi-core performance, i5-7200U will exceed i7-4558U, in fact, i5-7200U single-core performance is comparable with i7-6500U.

â–² HD620 Core Graphics

As a thin and light business notebook with a thickness of less than 2cm, the HP ProBook 430 G4 does not have a discrete graphics card that will reduce the battery life and increase the heat. Instead, it is equipped with Intel HD Graphics HD652. In the 3DMARK 11 Performance Mode test, HD620 The core graphics score reaches P1323. This graphics performance is naturally used to deal with business office without any problems.

We used the CineBench R15 to test the performance of the processor and the graphics card. In the R15, we can see that the Core i5-7200U processor has achieved a 320cb score, which is almost the same as the i7-6500U. On the video card side, the HD620 core graphics card has been 33.65 FPS score. The next thing we are going to do is test the performance of the whole machine, mainly through the PC Mark8.

In the Work environment test of PC Mark8, the HP ProBook 430 G4 scored 4240 points. The performance of this machine has been able to meet various office tasks, and 4GB DDR4 memory with a frequency of 2400MHz can also have faster read and write speeds. The 500GB 7200rpm hard drive performed well in terms of speed and capacity, and the performance of the HP ProBook 430 G4 was sufficient to reassure workplace professionals. Maybe they are more concerned about is not the performance, but the stability and continuity of the operation, which is related to heat, life-related, and then we will bring everyone the heat and endurance test.

Thermal test: excellent thermal performance and office cooling performance

Natural heat dissipation is one of the most important factors that affect the user experience. If the heat dissipation is not good, the keyboard fever will greatly affect the text input experience. In this case, the heat dissipation performance of the business book, which often requires a large amount of text input, is very important. , And HP's ProBook 430 G4 cooling capacity gave me a little surprise, whether it is the extreme temperature of the state of the machine or simulate the temperature of the continuous work is controlled very well.

We used the AIDA64 system stability test to squash the extreme performance of the HP ProBook 430 G4. After 30 minutes, the thermal imager was used to observe the airframe temperature performance.

After the system stability test was conducted for 30 minutes, the maximum temperature on the keyboard surface was only 45°, and the bottom heat was mainly concentrated near the heat exhaust outlet, which was as high as 55°. This also indicated that the internal thermal module design of the HP ProBook 430 G4 was very reasonable. The heat can be discharged well without affecting the life of the components inside the machine.

Everyone should never be scared by the temperature of the limit state. In the daily use of the business book, it is almost impossible to meet the scenario that needs to squeeze 100% of the processor's performance. For this purpose, we also tested a large number of continuous office scenarios with the PC Mark8 Work environment to verify the thermal performance of the HP ProBook 430 G4 in daily use. The maximum stability of the front fuselage does not exceed 35° and there is no excess near the bottom heat dissipation air outlet. 39°, this cooling performance is really amazing, and the excellent cooling performance will also bring users a more comfortable experience.

Endurance Test: Unplugged office for 8 hours is not a dream

As a 14-inch business thin and light book, going out to work is something that we often encounter. At this time, battery life is very important. For this reason, we continuously simulate a large amount of document input through the battery life testing under the PC Mark8 Work environment. Office tasks such as video conferencing, data processing, web browsing, and so on, in just 7 hours and 14 minutes later, the HP ProBook 430 G4 went into hibernation because of low battery power.

In the test, we achieved good results of 7 hours and 14 minutes. In the daily office environment, we did not have 8 hours of unplugged battery life. We did not use the power-saving mode during the test if we encountered very severe Conditions, and then open the power-saving mode, life can do more than 10 hours, in terms of battery life, HP ProBook 430 G4 performance and heat as good.

Summary: The first business book for young people
