HP 470 G10 review – its IPS display is a nice surprise

Verdict

The biggest pro of the HP 470 G10 is its display (BOE BOE0A9D). This 1080p IPS unit boasts 94% sRGB coverage and a 342 nit max brightness. Its color coverage can be additionally enhanced thanks to our “Design and gaming profile”. The default average dE result is 3.6 but with our optimizations, it reaches a score of 1.2 which is great. The panel is also PWM-free so you can use it for long hours of work without experiencing headaches (but hey, don’t forget to take short breaks from time to time).

The other thing that we like about this machine is the full-sized keyboard with NumPad and an optional backlight. The keycaps have long travel and clicky feedback which is pretty comfortable for work. The downside here is the small amount of flex during typing that can be spotted in the middle of the board. This reminds us that the chassis rigidity could be better. The lid also can’t be opened with a single hand.

The comfort under load is surprisingly good. The single fan is quiet even when the CPU is pushed to its limits. On the other hand, the processor clocks are on the low side, especially in short and medium loads. At least the temperatures of the Intel chip are always below the 70°C mark. However, during our testing, we didn’t observe any system slowdowns. The overall performance of our machine is more or less hindered by the memory that works in a single-channel mode (there is just one 16GB RAM stick installed).

The upgradability is decent for the class – two SODIMMs for up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a single M.2 slot for Gen 3 SSDs. Oh, yes, there is a SATA slot so you can install a regular SSD or a HDD for storage. The notebook in front of us has a QLC NVMe that is showing rather low scores in the performed benchmarks. On top of that, the drive reached 70°C.

The I/O is a bit disappointing – there are no 10 Gbps ports. Even the Type-C connector is just for data transfer. The battery life is okay – a bit over 7 hours of Web browsing. Considering the small 41Wh capacity and the big display, the result is acceptable. The HP 470 G10 isn’t a perfect device but it impresses with its color-accurate PWM-free IPS display, comfortable keyboard, and quiet cooling fan.
