HP Probook 430 G7 – Core-i5, 16GB, 256GB, Silver

The HP ProBook 430 G7, equipped with an Intel Core i5 processor, is a business-oriented laptop designed for professionals who need a reliable, secure, and portable machine for everyday productivity. Most commonly, this model features the 10th Generation Intel Core i5-10210U processor. This “U” series chip is a quad-core, eight-thread processor from the Comet Lake family, optimized for efficiency and sufficient for common office tasks, web Browse, presentations, and light content creation. The laptop typically comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM (often expandable to 32GB via two SODIMM slots) and a fast PCIe NVMe SSD, commonly 256GB or 512GB, ensuring quick boot times and responsive application performance. Graphics are handled by the integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620, which is suitable for standard display output and multimedia but not for demanding graphical applications or gaming.

The HP ProBook 430 G7 usually features a 13.3-inch display, with options for Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS anti-glare panels. While some configurations might offer a touch screen, common displays often provide around 250 nits of brightness and cover about 45% of the NTSC color gamut, which is adequate for business use in typical office lighting. As a ProBook, it emphasizes security features like a spill-resistant keyboard, an optional fingerprint reader, and various HP security software solutions (e.g., HP Sure Start, HP Sure Click) to protect data and privacy. Connectivity is robust for a business laptop of its generation, including USB 3.1 Type-C (with power delivery and DisplayPort), USB 3.1 Type-A ports, HDMI, an RJ-45 Ethernet port, and Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) on some models for modern wireless networking. Its durable design, including a “pike silver aluminum” finish, and adherence to MIL-STD 810H testing for reliability, underscore its suitability for a professional environment.
