The HP ProBook 440 G9 is a competent but unexceptional entry in the SMB laptop market. Its Alder Lake CPU delivers meaningful multi-core gains over previous generations, and the upgradeable RAM slots extend useful life. However, the lack of Thunderbolt, mediocre base display, and thermal throttling under sustained loads prevent it from competing with higher-tier business laptops.
4.5/5
The ProBook 440 G9 is powered by a range of Intel Core processors, including the Core i5-1235U and Core i7-1255U. Our review unit came with the Core i5-1235U, which provided smooth performance for everyday tasks like browsing, emailing, and office work. The laptop also features 8GB or 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of SSD storage, making it well-suited for demanding business applications. hp probook 440 g9
