Laptop I use for school and work
This laptop functions well. However it is quite weighty and thick. It is also quite slow and the battery life is around 4-6 hours. However it is quite stable and is able to work well for its uses.
Purchased at JB Hi-Fi for A$799.00.

A hidden gem. Relatively cheap, but a high-performance laptop for an IT professional or a power-user
I am a software developer who usually works in the office and sometimes I have to take the laptop home. My priorities are mostly the following: raw CPU performance, IO subsystem performance, memory size, operating system and its edition. The 3D gaming performance, electricity consumption and battery life are not important for me. I am satisfied by the laptop as it has boosted my productivity for a pretty conservative price for a laptop of this class.
Before I start the review I need to make an important note. This particular review relates ...Read more
to HP ProBook 470 G5 with the PART NUMBER 2WK17PA ONLY! One of the most ridiculous habits of laptop manufacturers is to advertise and sell significantly different laptops under the same brand name/model. The HP site contains at least 4 (four) variants of the similarly named laptop (HP ProBook 470 G5) packed with 8 or 16GB of RAM, i5 or i7 CPUs, HDD or SSD drives of varying sizes. Of course prices are different. This particular review relates to HP ProBook 470 G5 with the part 2WK17PA only. Other laptops with the same model but different part numbers are significantly different from this one. If you attempt to search for "HP ProBook 470 G5" you may be directed to one of these variants, but not exactly to the reviewed laptop. If you decide to buy an HP ProBook 470 G5 laptop based on this review make sure that you are buying the right one! My previous working laptop ASUS (which is 4 years old) is still good, however its standard HDD is painfully slow and given the amount of software and the size of data I have to work with it causes real problems, when in some cases I simply have to wait for a significant period of time staring at the screen.Similar opinion?

Can you run 2 monitors off this computer.
1 answer
Yes, you can use 2 monitors with this computer. One via an HDMI output, the other one via a standard VGA socket. This way you can have up to 3 displays in total (the laptop display and two external displays). The video card supports all of them without any issues. I also did not notice any significant difference between picture quality (in terms of sharpness) of the HDMI and VGA displays. However, I must admit that the display I have connected to the VGA port is much older and I cannot compare their color match.
