We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
By using power-efficient components that don't produce large amounts of heat, it's possible to create a device with no cooling fans. This results in a much quieter [or even silent] operation.
The keyboard is backlit, making it easier to type in the dark or dim lighting.
When covered under the manufacturer’s warranty it is possible to get a replacement in the case of a malfunction. Note: This may vary by region.
Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
The thickness [or depth] of the product.
Display
The size of the screen [measured diagonally].
Resolution is an essential indicator of a screen's image quality, representing the maximum amount of pixels that can be shown on the screen. The resolution is given as a compound value, comprised of horizontal and vertical pixels.
Pixel density is a measurement of a screen's resolution, expressed as the number of pixels per inch [PPI] on the screen. A higher pixel density translates into more clarity and sharpness for the images rendered on the screen, thus improving the quality of the viewing experience.
The type of technology used in the display.
You can operate the device easily, by pressing the screen with your fingers.
A nit is a measurement of the light that a display emits, equal to one candela per square meter. Brighter displays ensure a screen's contents are easy to read, even in sunny conditions.
The frequency at which the display is refreshed [1 Hz = once per second]. A higher refresh rate results in smoother UI animations and video playback.
Contrast ratio is the visual distance between the lightest and the darkest colors that may be reproduced on the display. A high contrast ratio is desired, resulting in richer dark colors and more distinctive color gradation.
This helps to reduce the reflection from your device.
Performance
Random-access memory [RAM] is a form of memory used to store working data and machine code. Having more RAM is particularly useful for multitasking, allowing you to run more programs at once or have more tabs open in your browser.
It can support faster memory, which will give quicker system performance.
Flash-based storage devices such as SSDs have no mechanical components. Due to this, they are typically faster, run silently, and are more shock resistant than traditional HDDs.
The internal storage refers to the built-in storage space available in a device for system data, apps, and user-generated data. With a large amount of internal storage, you can save more files and apps on your device.
The CPU speed indicates how many processing cycles per second can be executed by a CPU, considering all of its cores [processing units]. It is calculated by adding the clock rates of each core or, in the case of multi-core processors employing different microarchitectures, of each group of cores.
More threads result in faster performance and better multitasking.
VRAM
Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value.
VRAM [video RAM] is the dedicated memory of a graphics card. More VRAM generally allows you to run games at higher settings, especially for things like texture resolution.
Is an NVMe SSD
✖HP ProBook 440 G1 14" Intel Core i5-4200M 2.5GHz / 4GB / 500GB
NVMe SSDs use the PCIe interface, which has a higher bandwidth than the SATA interface. This results in much faster read/write speeds compared to SSDs which use the SATA interface.
The clock speed of the graphics processing unit [GPU].

This version of USB 4 supports very high speeds of up to 40Gbps. Unlike USB 3.2, USB 4 can dynamically allocate bandwidth to video and data. These ports use the USB-C connector.
The number of USB ports that are compatible with Thunderbolt 3. These ports support speeds of up to 40Gbps, including a minimum of PCIe 16Gbps. This guarantees that it can support one external 4K display.
The number of USB ports that are compatible with Thunderbolt 4. These ports support speeds of up to 40Gbps, including a minimum of PCIe 32Gbps. This guarantees that it can support two external 4K displays [or one external 8K display].
USB 3.2 Gen 1 supports speeds of up to 5Gbps. It was formerly known as USB 3.1 Gen 1 and USB 3.0. These ports use the USB-C connector.

Devices with a HDMI or mini HDMI port can transfer high definition video and audio to a display.
Battery
The device's battery life [when in use] as given by the manufacturer. With a longer battery life you have to charge the device less often.
The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
Battery power, or battery capacity, represents the amount of electrical energy that a battery can store. More battery power can be an indication of longer battery life.
Sleep-and-charge USB ports can charge electronic devices when the laptop is in sleep mode, hibernate mode, or even switched off.
The MagSafe power adapter uses a power connector that is attached magnetically. When pulled or tugged, the connector will come out of the socket safely.
Features
Devices with stereo speakers deliver sound from independent channels on both left and right sides, creating a richer sound and a better experience.
With a standard mini jack socket, you can use the device with most headphones.
The number of megapixels determines the resolution of the images captured with the front camera. A higher megapixel count means that the front camera is capable of capturing more details, an essential factor for taking high-resolution selfies.

Is ProBook 450 good?
They are solid units. HP Probooks are highly recommended. Definitely would recommend this HP laptop, perfect screen size and light weight. Great camera for zoom meetings and a easy slide on and off.
Is A HP ProBook worth it?
For the price, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better device that can provide the power you need for performing complex tasks. Most HP ProBooks also feature the Intel UHD Graphics 620 card. This can make a big difference in quality for your projects, especially if you work in any form of media or design.
Is HP ProBook Core i5 good for gaming?
The PC weight is 5 lb [2.27 kg]. This gaming laptop can run Fortnite, Minecraft, PUBG and GTA V - some of the the biggest PC games at a recommended level. But unfortunately it won't run games like Apex Legends.
What is the difference between ProBook 450 and 650?
450 have entry level SSD called Value, 650 has better quality SSD. may be the WLAN may be a little differte , choose a model with an Intel 2x2 WLAN card, so they have the same performance. I would avoid a notebook with a WLAN 1x1 , the max quantity of data you can send/recevive is half compared with 2x2 WLAN card.
