A round bundle. The 13.3-inch size alongside a swift solid state drive and good battery life commends the ProBook 430 G2 as a portable companion. The laptop's screen proves to be its primary weakness.

It ships with the Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro with 64 bit architecture as operating system. The display of this laptop is a 13.3 inch HD display (1366 x 768 pixels) with an aspect ratio of 16:9. An Intel i5 processor clocked at 1.7 GHz and 4 GB of DDR3 RAM are used in this laptop for its computing needs. On top of that, the memory can be upgraded up to 16 GB as the device has two RAM slots.

4210U: Haswell-based ULV dual-core processor clocked at 1.7 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 2.7 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4400 and a dual-channel DDR3 memory controller.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


13.30":

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
