HP Probook 640 G2

Build and Screen of the HP Probook Model 640 G2

We may be right to say this business notebook could be slimmer and lighter, considering it is a 14-incher. HP ProBook 640 G2 weighs in at roughly two kilograms while the thickness is 27 millimetres.

Plastic is the main material used for the construction, but the quality is great. HP says the ProBook 640 G2 is ready to go the distance, having passed MIL-STD 810G testing.

The 14-inch display has a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and offers legible reading in sunshine. If you prefer sharper colours and higher quality images, you can go for a unit with a Full HD screen. HP ProBook 640 G2 also has Full HD touch display option.

Performance

Sixth-generation Intel Core i5 Skylake processors delivering clock speeds of up to 3.4 GHz get things moving along on the HP ProBook 640 G2. For improved performance, buyers can get models offering up to 32 GB of DDR4 RAM.

Good graphics performance looks like a realistic expectation with the option of an AMD Radeon R7 M365X dedicated graphics card. HP offers solid state drive for enhanced performance and responsiveness.

Other Specs and Features

HP recommends running the ProBook 640 G2 on Windows 10 Pro operating system, but you can downgrade to Windows 7.

According to its maker, the HP ProBook 640 G2 is for “executive-class” collaboration. It features HP Noise Cancellation Software, optional Skype for Business and an HD webcam. Dual integrated stereo speakers and HD Audio with DTS Studio Sound hold promise of respectable sound.
