HP ProBook 14" 445 G7 2021, Ryzen 5 4500U, 16GB, 2TB SSD, Silver
The 6-core Ryzen 5 4500U and 16GB RAM provide capable multitasking for office workloads, though the integrated Radeon Graphics only support light gaming. The 14-inch FHD IPS display and 1.77kg weight make it a portable, business-focused machine with a generous port selection including Ethernet and three USB-A ports. This refurbished ProBook is best for students or office workers who need a durable Windows 11 Pro laptop for spreadsheets, presentations, and web-based tasks.
