HP ProBook 430 G2

HP ProBook 430 G1 is The smallest notebook of the HP ProBook 430 G2 series is the cheapest subnotebook that HP offers its customers. This makes it a subject of interest for small businesses and even demanding private users. After testing the 15- and 17-inch models (ProBook 450 and 470), we now turn to the smaller sibling the 430.

This test model is much slimmer, lighter and saves on power (in comparison to its bigger siblings). In addition, the latest Haswell architecture can be found embedded in its heart, which we are grateful for, as many a manufacturer would have chosen the older Ivy Bridge generation. This feature makes the test model special and even unique: few models can offer the latest hardware in such a compact form.

Neither Dell nor Lenovo offer a subnotebook based on the Haswell architecture for business users. Fujitsu has the U554 (test coming shortly) which is priced higher. Buyers who are happy with the Ivy Bridge generation can choose the Dell Latitude 3330 (review with Sandy-Bridge processor) which is a subnotebook in the same price class.
