With the ProBook 640 G3, HP has a mid-range 14-inch business notebook in its line-up. It is equipped with enough processing power for all common application areas. The ProBook offers high application performance. The laptop runs noiselessly or at least quietly over the entire load range and has low heat development – very positive qualities for a work device. The battery life is very good, as was the case with the predecessor, so it should suffice for a workday. The built-in NVMe SSD ensures a swiftly running system and short loading times. All in all, the ProBook delivers excellent battery life.

The laptop does not differ from its predecessor on the outside; it comes with the same black and silver case. HP uses mostly plastic, only the upper side of the base unit is made of metal. The rubberized lid makes the device easier to grip, but it is also somewhat prone to fingerprints. HP did not put a maintenance hatch on the notebook. Removing the bottom shell gives you access to the hardware, but more on that later. The battery is permanently installed.
The ProBook is a bit heavier and thicker than its rivals. This is mostly due to the laptop’s optical drive, which the other notebooks lack.
The ProBook does not differ from its predecessor in terms of ports. It has a DisplayPort and a VGA port to connect external video output devices. The three USB ports (2x Type-A, 1x Type-C) work with the USB-3.1-Gen-1 standard. For a wider variety of ports, you can plug an HP-specific docking station into the docking port.
The ProBook carries a WLAN module with an Intel chip (Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265). Aside from the 802.11 a/b/g/h/n WLAN standards, it also supports the fast AC standard. We did not encounter any connectivity problems; the connection was never interrupted or lost right next to the router as well as two stories below it. The transfer rates we measure in optimal conditions (no other WLAN devices nearby, short distance between the notebook and server PC) are very good. A Gigabit-Ethernet chip (I219-V), also made by Intel, handles wired network connections.
HP equips the notebook with a Trusted Platform Module (2.0), as well as a smartcard reader and a fingerprint reader. In terms of software, the ProBook comes with HP’s Client Security software.
The built-in webcam takes pictures with a maximum resolution of 1280×720 pixels. The images are slightly washed-out, but the brightness is satisfactory.
The unlit chiclet keyboard comes straight from the predecessor. The roughened keys have a short travel and a clear pressure point. It is nice that they have a pleasantly crispy resistance. The keyboard does not give in during typing; this would only happen if you would press hard enough in the middle of the keyboard. Overall, HP delivers an accomplished keyboard for frequent writers.
The multitouch-capable ClickPad takes up an area of about 9.8 x 5.1 cm (~3.85 x 2.00 in). This should suffice for using gesture controls. The smooth surface makes it easy for fingers to glide, and it even registers input in the corners. The pad can be turned on and off with a double click in the upper left corner. Below the pad are two mouse buttons that are easy to use, have a medium travel, and a clear pressure point.
The ProBook’s matte 14-inch display works with a native resolution of 1920×1080 pixels; another version with an HD display (1366×768 pixels) is also available.

A Samsung Solid State Disk made its way into the ProBook. This M.2 model (2280) has a total capacity of 256 GB, of which around 200 GB can be used; the rest is spread among the Windows installation and the recovery partition. It is not surprising that the SSD’s transfer rates are excellent – it is an NVMe SSD, attached via PCI Express x4, which allows for much higher transfer speeds than a connection via SATA-III. In addition to M.2 SSDs, the ProBook also accepts common 2.5-inch disks, although fitting it with both storage mediums simultaneously is not possible.
Intel’s HD Graphics 620 GPU is responsible for the graphics output. It supports DirectX 12 and works with speeds of up to 1000 MHz. The 3DMark benchmarks results are normal for this GPU. If you would like to exhaust the last drop of performance from this GPU, a second RAM module would have to be installed into the laptop. This activates the dual-channel mode and increases the graphics performance. Users who need considerably more graphics performance can choose ProBook models with a dedicated Radeon R7 M465 graphics core made by AMD.
The ProBook’s stereo speakers found their place above the keyboard behind a perforated cover. They produce a decent sound.
Our realistic WLAN test simulates the workload of loading web pages by means of a script. The profile “Balanced” is active, the energy-saving functions are deactivated, and the display brightness is lowered to about 150 cd/m². The ProBook lasts 8:43 h on one charge. In our video test, the HP laptop lasts 8:39 h. For this, we let the short film Big Buck Bunny (H.264 codec, 1920×1080 pixels) run in a loop, the wireless modules as well as the energy-saving functions are deactivated, and the display brightness is regulated to about 150 cd/m².
All in all, the ProBook delivers excellent battery life. When compared to its predecessor, a zero-sum game arises: While the WLAN battery runtime is somewhat shorter, the maximum runtime is significantly increased.
