Customer Reviews for HP - ProBook 450 G8 15.6" Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 16 GB Memory - 256 GB SSD - Pike Silver Aluminum
Posted by: Software Developer
Verified Purchase:Yes
Screen at 400 nits is comfortably visible outdoors, compared to a Pavilion 15" 300 nits, which was barely legible.
Trackpad operation is very smooth; the numeric keypad is nice to have.
i5 processor speed is fine - compiles are about 15% faster than an i5-8265U.
Notes: something (either a BIOS upgrade or a Windows 11 upgrade) reset some performance-related BIOS settings: compiles were twice as slow after the upgrade(s), until I fixed the settings. Also, (left) Ctrl and Fn were swapped. Turns out there's a BIOS setting to do that in the Elitebook BIOS - I didn't see it in the Probook BIOS.

I would recommend this to a friend!
