HP lets you save up to $647 on these HP ProBook and EliteBook business laptops

This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2024

Looking for a good business laptop? Whether you’re buying a few for use as office workstations or just a single unit for your personal use, there are things that you need to consider first. For starters, you want your best laptop packed with advanced security and privacy features to avoid an information breach. They also need to have a stronger build and offer a better-than-usual typing experience since employees are going to use them for hours at a time. HP offers some of the best business laptops out there, and for Cyber Monday you can save as much as $647 if you order the HP ProBook 450 G6 and the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 on the company’s official website.

The HP ProBook 450 G6 is an entry-level business laptop. Weighing 2 kg and measuring 19mm thick, it is relatively light and slim for a 15-inch laptop and is made with a combination of aluminum and plastic. Opening it was pretty easy even with one hand, and it remains impressively rigid when challenged with a bit of pressure. Just like the Elitebook below, the Probook 450 offers the option of IR face recognition system for locking and unlocking.

This laptop is equipped with a matte 15-inch Full HD IPS panel with a resolution of 1,920 х 1,080 pixels. Brightness maxes at 274 nits, which isn’t the brightest, but it’s not bad. You can still use it outdoors without any difficulty. Since it’s matte, it has the ability to diffuse glare. Furthermore, it looks uniformly lit at all angles, and colors appear accurate. The full-width keyboard is pleasant to type on, with crisp pressure points and medium stroke. There’s optional backlighting which you can turn off if you don’t need it. The number pad comes with integrated mouse buttons, and it is pleasantly large and works precisely.

Business owners will be pleased to know that the ProBook 450 G6 is equipped with an array of security features. Besides the IR facial recognition camera, there’s a fingerprint sensor located below the right-hand side of the keyboard, and a Kensington lock slot. It also comes with plenty of security software including the HP Password Manager and HP Device Access Manager, among others.

This ProBook 450 G6 comes with an 8th-gen Intel Core i3 processor, although you can get other configurations (an Intel i7 processor is an option) for a bit more money. This chipset isn’t the most advanced but it does sip power, contributing to a battery life that can last up to 8 hours, more than enough for a full day’s work. Furthermore, its UHD 620 graphics processor won’t provide you with mindblowing gaming performance. Overall, this laptop is sufficiently speedy and is energy-efficient, so we have no major complaints.

If you need an unpretentious business laptop that’s worth every penny, then the HP ProBook 450 G6 is for you. Get one for just $431 instead of $1,078, a massive $647 off the original price on HP’s official website. But if you want something decidedly more feature-packed (and expensive), check out the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 below.

The HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is a convertible laptop with an aluminum chassis that looks good and feels extremely solid. Its 360-degree rotating hinge spins the screen around firmly and wobbles just ever-so-slightly, which provides further reassurance of this laptop’s excellent build quality. It weighs 1.36 kg which is admittedly on the heavier side, but with dimensions of 215 x 307 x 16.9mm it’s still quite portable.

The device’s 13-inch anti-glare touchscreen is highly responsive. It can get extremely bright, so using this laptop outdoors won’t be a problem. Colors look great, contrasts are terrific, although we did find one issue with the anti-glare coating. It’s great at preventing reflections, but the edges and corners tend to look a little murky at certain angles. There’s a feature called SureView which, at the press of a button, will alter the screen backlighting to make the screen almost blacked out. This will stop onlookers from viewing sensitive information.

Biometric sign-in can be assigned to the fingerprint sensor or the IR camera for Windows Hello facial recognition, both of which are quick to respond and very reliable. This laptop is also equipped with a Smartcard reader and the Kensington lock slot for tamper-proof data storage. Aside from these physical layers of security, this laptop boasts Sure Sense, HP’s anti-malware software.

This EliteBook’s keyboard is fantastic. Although key travel isn’t that deep, typing is quick, comfortable, and responsive. The size of the keys is perfect, and the spacing between them is just right. The keys also light up with a cool bluish glow that automatically switches off during idle times. The touchpad is also a delight, with a glass surface that effortlessly perceives the lightest of touches and gestures. This laptop also comes with HP’s Active Pen G2 stylus, which is extremely precise, making this a great digital sketchpad. The pen attaches to a magnetic clip on the laptop’s right side.

Boasting state-of-the-art security features paired with incredible hardware, the HP EliteBook x360 830 G6 is the business laptop to beat. Get one on HP’s official site for $1,189 instead of $1,349 – that’s a cool $160 off.
