Background and Identification
The HP ProBook 450 G1 is a business oriented laptop that features touchscreen capabilities along with Intel 4th generation processors and onboard Intel HD Graphics or an optional Radeon™ HD 8750M discrete graphics card. Following the trend of most business laptops, the device is also capable of mobile connectivity, allowing the user to always be connected to the internet. The ProBook 450 G1 was succeeded by its G2 counterpart.
This device replaced the ProBook 450 G0, upgrading the processors, screen size, and a more energy efficient battery along with HP’s proprietary fast charge technology. According to this review by NoteBookCheck, the ProBook 450 G1 was praised for its ability to run high resource demanding applications while also emitting a small amount of noise. However, the screen may be a lackluster component featuring half HD resolution, at 1366 x 768, and having a bluish cast and low contrast.
In most cases you can find the laptop’s model number on a sticker located on the underside of the device, labeled as “P/N”. Alternatively, you could find relevant information inside the battery compartment or inside the casing. Lastly, you could navigate to the System Information inside the OS or use HP Support Assistant software.
