70% HP EliteBook 745 G5 review
Source: Techradar Archive.org version
The excellent AMD Ryzen platform doesn’t overcome some of the shortcomings of this design regarding the battery life and screen. We also wouldn’t recommend paying extra for the touch display which isn’t hinged for tablet-style use.

HP EliteBook 745 G6 review – showing off AMD’s GuardMI technology
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
When it comes to business devices, there is a lot of expectations that need to be covered. First, security is king. This is where the PRO moniker of the processor, combined with the GuardMi technology kick in. They aim to offer enhancement and encryption both on hardware and on a software level. Additionally, there are multiple biometric identification methods. They consist of a fingerprint reader and an IR face recognition system.

14.00:

14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact. 

In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.

No weight comment found (one expected)!

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
