A few months have passed since HP announced its ProBook 4 G2 line-up. The ProBook 4 G2 series may replace the ProBook 4 G1 generation (curr. $1,099 on Amazon). However, it does so while retaining the AMD Ryzen 200 processors found in its predecessor.
Pricing and base configurations
Nonetheless, the new ProBook 4 G2ah does not come cheap. As it stands, the 14-inch laptop starts at $1,917 with the Ryzen 3 210 and just 8 GB of RAM. Effectively a rebadged Ryzen 3 7440U or Ryzen 3 8440U, the Ryzen 3 210 contains a single Zen 4 core, three Zen 4c cores and a Radeon 740M iGPU.
Processor options and performance
Alternatively, the Ryzen 3 210 can be swapped for the Ryzen 5 220 at a $102 surcharge. Also, HP sells the ProBook 4 G2ah 14 with up to 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 1 TB of storage. Selecting these options increases pricing further to $3,757, with which HP includes a 1200p, 300-nit and 60 Hz IPS display.
Battery and availability
All SKUs ship with a 68 Wh battery and a GaN charger. Please note that one can save $250 by selecting FreeDOS at checkout. HP has not confirmed when its new 14-inch laptop will reach other markets. More details can be found on its US website.
