- In this video we’re having a look at the 15-inch version of the HP 450 G8. Comes in i3, i5 and i7 intel processor variations. This laptop has good specs for the price, but is it better than Ryzen 455 version?

I got sent one of these as a work laptop & couldn't for the life of me find the damn power button 😂. Thanks for turning yours on in the video!
same but then i searched the first row and found it lmao xD
thanks for review. Does type c port supports laptop charging?
Does anyone know if the HP USB-C minidock will work fine with this new laptop? SKU for that part is 1PM64AA
How is the display quality of the 11th gen i7 variant with 250 nits brightness and 45% NTSC? How are the colors and thet accuracy? Does the display screen looked washed away sometimes or more? Please guide.
Thank you. Please how can you put the keyboard lights on?
Does your hp also show single windows C drive when you go to ''my pc''?? cuz mine one does.
I just want a general home use laptop, but need to be reliable. and fast. is ProBook overqualified?
I bought a 455 G8 with Ryzen 7 and upgraded screen with 400 nits. Why does this feel flimsy? Why is the metal on the left side speaker looks warped? It looks the same warp as this video's left side of speaker.
I love this video, thank you so much
how do you turn on the keyboard light? please tell me.
I want the ProBook 445 G8. They've been out of stock for months now...
Thank god we get ethernet port. I can't live without it.
hi how to turn on hp probook 450 g8 i7 keyboard backlight
help me
Why does it have yellowish screen? Are there any solution for this?
Does it have baklit keyboard?if yes then please tell me.the keys!!! I have a 13 inch one!
How u got the white lights
Please I really need your reply, I'm about to buy it, should I go ahead?
hi, I am looking for information about body material. It is written as plastic / polycarbonate, aluminum on the product datasheet but I want to know which parts are aluminum in detail. For example keyboard side and backside of the screen is aluminum or not? Thanks.
g8 450 has aluminum screen lid cover, sides and keyboard chassis, the inner bezels are plastic.
so 2 hands are needed to open up the screen? not good...my old probook 450 g5 opens up with one hand
does this laptop keyboard is backlit...?
Hi, I've got this G8 model... But my Fingerprint ain't detected in the window hello page, and no biometrics in the device manager.
Any idea what I can do please?
Stop the Windows Biometric Service in the Control Panel > All Control Panel Items> Administrative Tools > Services. Then restart it and set fingerprint again.
To get a replacement charger for this model was quite a chore. I forgot HP parts aren't easily available as other companies.
Beautiful review
can someone tell hp probook 450 g8(I5-1135g7;16gb ram;mx450) can give at least 120 fps in valorant
It's a great laptop but can sometimes be really slow for no reason
Nice video, i had mine since november 2020 here in china it was 1st released , i7 1165G7 1TB ssd, 16GB ddr4 3200 mhz , MX450 nvidia + iris xe and the 400 nits display version , BEST LAPTOP i ever had

Thank you for this review.. Someone in development had a brain fart in regard to the power button location.
hello, thanks for your interesting review.
I got a msi modern 14 b11mo with i3 11^ gen., i'm finding a not good coverage of colors, according to laptopmedia only 49% sRGB.
Do you think the hp has a better screen? let's keep in mind tha modern 14 has a 1200:1 contrast ratio and a maximum brightness of 365 nits, always according the review ..
I'm on dubt if render mine and get a hp 450 g8... confused as always..
Many thanks for your help
well this screen is still in same class though dimmer, i think its not very noticeable, unless you go with higher than 70%sRGB.
@@TechWatcher thanks a lot
The purpose and price point of the default screen of this laptop is not for color editing. Look for other screen versions or HP Elitebook for example. This is a reliable office laptop. A serious color editor needs a professional screen anyway in most cases.
No backlight ?
How can I torn on keyboard lights in this model please tell me because I purchased this model 2 days ago
Long press f9 key
I want to know what would happen if i accidentally press power button.?
Its power button located in keyboard
windows usually ask for permission to close apps before shudown, if you have some apps open to prevent any data lose
Does SureView (limiting side angle view)On/Off works by pressing f2 key? Did you notice this feature in your machine or its missing?
i will test it asap

can you explain me why they don’t put exhaust from left side which they used in old models evan in g7 also
My thoughts exactly. The way they change the exhaust vents in G8 makes it less suitable for usage as a desktop with an external monitor and closed laptop lid. I think they did it for looks, to hide the vents. But at what cost?
Do u know how we can have 2 extended monitors.connected with this model without to buy expensive docking station ?
u can use hdmi to 2 monitor converter
@@TechWatcher can you recommend me such converter

I just got this laptop now and i want to ask
1.Will it be very good for CODING and GAMING
2.The laptop seems to have difficulty shutting down,whats the remedy
3.Can i attach memory cards to this laptop,if so how many and whats the maximum storage capacity of memory cards that can be attached.
4.What can be done done to maintain optimal cooling so the processors can last reasonably
yes u can use it easily for coding, but for games it depends how "big" games u will be playing, for fortnite, gta v its okay. 2. try to fully shutdown and disable sleep mode it will help. 3. it supports up to 256GB microsd card memory 4. use cooling pad if you use it on the table, at least once per month clean the vents and you can also change the fan speed.
@@TechWatcher thanks a lot
it has some hitting issue
and trackpad issue,
Is there any manual

there is "second m2 slot" but its not meant for drive, so the only alternative is microsd slot
Please if you're still using this laptop, let me know what you think of.
Hey sir , Nice video.. does the ideapad 5 better than this one ? And why
If they have same processor, I like web cam and screen on the Lenovo, depending on variant, hp still offer more in terms of memory upgradability.
I am a Engineering student. I choice 2 laptop. Hp probook 450 g8 i5 11th generation with dedicated graphics and MSI modern 15 A11SB i5 11th generation.
Which one i should Buy??
they will perform similar, I like the metal chassis of hp, but in terms of upgradability msi has one free slot for second m2 drive, while g8 has only microsd slot for second drive.
2:35 what is a "cable deck"?
/E: oh, keyboard deck... You might consider adding subtitles ;p Otherwise - good video, subbed ;)
Is this laptop comes with built-in ms office 2019?
No. You would have to use an MS Office license from Microsoft.
Does this have 2 camera ?? If not what is that 2nd hole for on the screen bezel ?

I use this laptop but It's has heating issue.... Can you plz suggested me how can i solved this heating issue? Plz reply me🥺
go to bios and change fan speed, default factory temperature fan threshold is set to high, try to to lower it so fan will kick in sooner.

This works almost exactly as explained; great job Aaron. I've a couple of questions. At around 5:28 I was asked to download and update new iOS in my new phone. That took almost an hour. Is there any way to avoid that? If my iOS in my old phone has an older version, can I not have that older version iOS in my new phone too?
Secondly, once the transfer is completed, it looks like all the apps are being updated to their latest versions, which again takes a lot of time. Is there any way to avoid that?

@@F.ameri. خیلی خوب تحقیق کردین ،ممنون👌
Is this good for rendering and editing videos?
HP 450 G8 with i5 processor has good support for rendering and editing videos, though if you work with bigger 4k video files its still best to go with i7 version.
Just wondering where does the exhaust go out? Almost perfect laptop but i wouldnt buy it for the vents alone being at the back. That will definitely degrade the quality of the screen in the long run
can you elaborate? i never heard of thing like this.
and if you're a pro in Laptops. what are the build quality things/ things others miss i should look for..?
im very new to laptops and can you help me out ?
honestly, i was shocked to see this design. probook is no more a pro
Hello, what about i7, is it better than i5 for 450 g8, does it heat up more or it depends on video card?
i7 processors with quick sync are more versatile, especially if you work a lot with adobe apps, otherwise i5 will be okay, there is not big heat difference, though i would raise fan speed from default factory settings, because out of the box they are almost noiseless, probably to impress average users. i think its better to have louder - warm cpu than quiet hot cpu....
@@TechWatcher where can i raise fan speed? In Bios?
@@TechWatcher maybe cooling pad will be useful?
@@torex1123 yes, ussualy there are some basic fan settings in bios, cooling pad helps a lot and there are also apps for hp fan control in windows
@@TechWatcher thanks!
I think the problem that laptop never shutdowns is a major flaw, plus usb port is powered on while laptop is "off", all this happening even in battery mode. Unbelievable. Can someone confirm this too?
check usb power options in bios, usually there user can change usb power, also make sure that laptop is not in sleep mode.
how to know the hp laptop is 250 nits or 400 nits ,?
usually its in the specs, sometimes even on the box, it should be easy to find excellent specs, but if you cant find that info anywhere its definably below average, so around 220nits
How about the fan noise? Thank you
its very quiet and it has a lot of room for fan speed calibration, i would say that out of the box fan speed is set to low, its nice for work but if you are interested in longer life span of processor i would set it 10% higher...
Is it better than dell inspiron 15 5502 i5 11th gen? Or are they both kinda same?
similiar performance in terms of processor, but it looks like dell has better hinge for cooling, but hp has still more inputs.
@@TechWatcher
How much does hp cost?
I think Dell is about 300 dollar cheaper than hp.
If they both have same performance should I go for Dell then?
@@TechWatcher This is confusing. He said Dell is cheaper and you confirm "yes" but then say it's not. I demand answers. immediately
@@WhatAreColors if they have same cpu ram performance go with cheaper one, dell is usually more expensive
@@TechWatcher You deleted your comment and now you'll delete mine...
That's ok though. I'm just messing with you.
I work with G5 and G6 mostly. It is my job to provide these at a huge company. The G7 are coming now and it ist horrible with the new USB C dock. I hate it. It is taking up more space and is more expensive than the ultraslim and the connector can break easily.
But I can also see some hope. The D series docking monitors. E243D. The driver problems though... It will be painful.
hings is made with plastic or aluminium?
aluminium
Do you hear sound of fans under normal and full loads?
i didn't hear fans a while testing web and youtube and office, it has very good fan speed calibration.
@@TechWatcher and the battery life under normal load and full load how did it last?
What do you think about probook440 g8
well if u don't need number pad u will be fine, but i still think 450 is more usable with bigger screen, and both are to big for the pocket anyway
I ordered this laptop. Can't wait for it then finally I can use my music program which my actual Acer Aspire 3 is not powerful enough to handle.
Hey, did you get this laptop? If yes, do you advise me to have it?

Hello, what a mid range laptop good budget i cant buy for watch movie & game 😶
Nice stylish Notebook. I nevertheless decided for a Thinkpad E15 Gen3 mainly due to 2nd SSD slot. Also keyboard is better on thinkpad imo, and overall durability much better for thinkpad acc. to sales person.
On the downside I accept less connectability (eg no sd card reader) with the E15 and more temperature at high load and lack of clickable mouse pad - and also the screen is probably a bit better on HP.
Nevertheless, for me personaly, the lack of 2nd ssd slot was the show stopper. (the G7 still had 2 slots). Plus keyboard quali and long term durability is more important for me.
Long term durability isn't that good in probook g8?
Besides, the display of the Lenovo thinkpad e15 is NT not ips, no?
@@hazimyassir976 In current E15 datasheet there are 1 NT and 3 IPS panels listed. I think most are equipped with IPS.
@@MiccaPhone
I've tried to find a thinkpad e15 with an ips but I couldn't find anything.
Which one did you get? Hp or thinkpad
@@hazimyassir976 Maybe it depends on the region. I am in Germany and all Thinkpads E15 Gen 3 that I saw for sale here have an IPS display, for example by an online shop here that has the name "notebook".
Is the screen on this better than the Thinkpad E15 G3?
Please can someone tell me that, do this Laptop comes with Original windows?? Or do we need to activate windows again and again after some time??????? Please tell plzzzz.
there are many versions of g8 with or without windows, its possible that windows update is not completed or you have unregistered windows version.
@@TechWatcher but I purchased it 1 year back. I used it 3 to 4 months and it never says Activate windows. Than I lend it to someone. Now when I got my laptop back It says Activate windows and Key has expired. So I wanna Know is it possible that person has taken my original windows and replaced it with any other versiin
@@honeybarbie5 its possible to replace windows version on any laptop, some windows are built in laptop hardware, thats mean its impossible to use it on other pcs or laptops, the best way is to have windows key copy on the paper. if you lost your key, contact shop for help.
@@TechWatcher is it ok if my windows ask for ksy again n again
Where is the Displayport port?
2:11 Ok
1. Asus Tuf FX505DT Ryzen 7 3750H GTX 1650 4 GB, with 8 gigs of ram and 1 TB hdd
2. Hp Probook 450 g8, i5 11 generation with mx450 gb card. With 8 gigs of ram and 512 gb ssd
Price is almost same.
I'm buying for video editing, photo editing, graphics releted works with one of it.
Which one should i Buy. $950 price in my country
well in terms of gaming and graphics card power here asus wins easly, but in terms of processor speed, i5 11 is still better for editing, especially if you work with adobe apps. only ryzen 5000 series can beat intel here and they are still more expensive.

Do you compare with Ryzen 5000 ?
well ryzen has an edge in terms of gaming, but Intel still works better with some apps like adobe premiere, so it depends what apps are you using. in general intels 11th gen is better optimized for editing and similar tasks without discrete graphics than ryzen 5.

HP из года в год делает клавиатуру всё хуже и хуже. Нет вариантов нажать Menu (Shift+F10 в некоторых IDE не доступно), кнопки яркости и громкости удобнее было бы запинить на Fn+стрелки... но перенести POWER на клавиатуру... это же как клиентов нужно ненавидеть??? Кто бы их нового дезигнера пристрелил?
Ну и в целом выглядит так что ProBook серия делается для левшей, потому что большинство портов справа. У меня в 450 G7 справа type-c, HDMI, Ethernet и быстрые USB - т.е. любое подключенное устройство будет мешать работать с мышкой. Не самые быстрые type-c шнурки если сильно заморочиться можно найти уголком, чтобы не мешало мышке, но тогда нужно выкидывать шнур питания в пользу PD over type-c.
Корпус хоть и заявлен что шибко офигенный... явно где-то либо проминается, либо наводки на клавиатуру, потому что иногда нажимается то, чего никто не просил.
А так да, за свою цену топчик по железу, который можно на коленке любыми подручными средствами разобрать для поставить/заменит что-то...
Напиши лучше какая альтернатива по цене-качеству-возможностям, умник? Потратил много времени но лучше ультрабука с интегрированной графикой до 1К $ чем HP Pro/EliteBook не нашел.
