日本HP ProBook 450 G10 review – only a refresh but still one of the best
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.
Average P-core frequency; Average E-core frequency; CPU temp.; Package Power
| Intel Core i5-1335U (15W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP ProBook 450 G10 | 3.41 GHz @ 2.79 GHz @ 94°C @ 48W | 2.80 GHz @ 2.17 GHz @ 94°C @ 31W | 1.87 GHz @ 2.04 GHz @ 81°C @ 23W |
| Acer Swift Go 16 (SFG16-71) | 3.29 GHz @ 2.46 GHz @ 65°C @ 45W | 3.06 GHz @ 2.37 GHz @ 71°C @ 42W | 1.80 GHz @ 1.98 GHz @ 61°C @ 28W |
Although its cooling is not as good as that of the Acer Swift Go 16 (SFG16-71), the HP ProBook 450 G10 is able to run at higher frequencies at the end of the test, while using 5W less power.
Comfort during full load
Interestingly, the laptop remains silent throughout most of the light work we put it through. And when we started the Prime95 stress test the fan needed some time before picking up to a barely audible speed. That’s great for comfort, as the hotspot of the keyboard didn’t even reach 40°C.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. This device comes with a 51.3Wh battery pack. It lasts for 8 hours and 20 minutes of Web browsing, or 7 hours and 30 minutes of video playback.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
