MagyarHP ProBook 440 G6 (i7, 512 GB, FHD) Laptop Review
We tested the HP ProBook 440 G5 about one year ago and are now taking a look at the next version, the ProBook 440 G6. HP presents this device as "an affordable combination of innovations as well as security and multimedia functions" for small to medium-sized companies and business professionals.
However, the competition is also steadily improving and other well-known manufacturers such as Lenovo and Acer have also created very interesting devices in this price range. Most importantly, the Lenovo ThinkPad E480, which can be considered the go-to business device in terms of good input devices and performance. We have also included the Acer TravelMate X3410 and the Fujitsu LifeBook E548 as comparison devices for this review. Huawei also has a good 14-inch office notebook to offer: the MateBook D 14. To get a good idea of the improvements HP has made to its device, we have also included the predecessor, HP ProBook 440 G5.
Our HP ProBook 440 G6 is equipped with an Intel Core i7-8565U that is based on Whiskey Lake architecture. The 14-inch device has 16 GB of RAM and should therefore easily manage to keep several applications running simultaneously. The 512-GB SSD also enables users to store large sets of data locally. The display in our test unit is a matte Full HD panel. This configuration is available for around $1300.
The ProBook 440 G6 is also available with the Core i5-8265U, 8 GB of RAM and a 256-GB storage device as well as in other combinations.
Case - slimmer and more modern
The dominating colors of the HP ProBook 440 G6 are silver and black. While these were already used on the predecessor, the current device only has a black plastic display frame. The cover of the base unit is silver, which largely improves the overall impression this device gives.
The materials consist mainly of aluminum and plastic. These materials ensure good stability, although the base unit and display cover can be warped slightly when applying pressure. The center of the base unit gives way noticeably under pressure, which also shows that the sides are a lot more stable. Targeted pressure on the display cover is not visible on the screen.
Overall, the device looks more modern, probably due to its smaller size. The bezels are relatively narrow and HP has made good use of the available space. The opening angle is quite wide at around 180°, although this will hardly ever be needed in everyday use. Nonetheless, we are happy with the hinges, which hold the display in place with only minimal wobbling, while still being easy to adjust. We even managed to open the device with one hand despite its relatively low weight.
Size Comparison
The HP ProBook 440 G6 has a footprint of 32.4 x 23.7 cm, which makes it slightly smaller than most of its comparison devices. Only the Huawei MateBook D 14 is significantly more compact. At a weight of around 1.6 kg, the ProBook 440 G6 is not really light but cannot be considered heavy either. The power supply weighs an additional 339 grams, which means the total weight is still below 2 kg.
Connectivity - a lot of ports but no TB3
HP has made some changes to the port selection compared to the ProBook 440 G5. The VGA connector has been replaced by a further USB port, which means that the ProBook 440 G6 now counts a total of four USB ports (3x Type-A, 1x Type-C). The Type-C port can be used as DisplayPort with a suitable adapter. The battery can also be recharged via this port. Most connectors are positioned on the right side, as the left is mainly reserved for ventilation grilles.
SD card reader
The ProBook 440 G6 is equipped with an SD card reader that offers USB 3.0 speeds and is positioned on the left side of the device. SD cards can be inserted entirely without them standing outside of the slot. While the card reader in the ProBook 440 G5 was slightly faster, the ProBook 440 G6 also transfers data fast enough for everyday use.

Communication
The Wi-Fi module can probably be considered the main communication medium. The HP ProBook 440 G6 is equipped with the Intel Wireless-AC 9560 - a fast and modern Wi-Fi module that includes the newest Bluetooth standard (5.0).
Our test unit offered decent send and receive rates in our practical test. It even made first place in our comparison table. The predecessor's good results were further improved, although we did notice that data reception was slightly slower. Overall, however, we have nothing to criticize about the ProBook 440 G6's Wi-Fi communication.
Our test unit also offers an Ethernet connector that supports transfer rates of up to 1 Gb/s. The HP ProBook 440 G6 can also optionally be equipped with an LTE module. The device has a placeholder WWAN slot next to the Wi-Fi module. However, our test unit is not WWAN ready.

Security
The HP ProBook 440 G6 offers two security features: a fingerprint reader and an infrared camera. Both features support Windows Hello and make it very easy to log in to the system. Both these features worked very well in our test unit. The device can also be secured from theft with a Kensington lock.
Accessories
The HP ProBook 440 G6 comes without accessories. The box only includes a power supply and various flyers. Users can purchase further accessories from HP or third-party providers. The device does not have any proprietary connectors.
Maintenance
Unlike our test unit, the HP ProBook 440 G5 still had a maintenance hatch on the bottom of the base unit. Users who now want to make changes to their device have to remove the bottom plate of the base unit entirely. This is quite easy to do by removing all screws and using a small spatula or similar tool. Be aware of the many small plastic clips that secure the bottom plate around the edges.
Once the bottom plate is removed, the device offers good access to its components. The RAM can easily be expanded and is not soldered on. Our test configuration still has a free RAM slot. The same goes for the storage device. If the M.2 SSD with 512 GB is not enough, it can be replaced or simply supplemented with a second storage device in the 2.5-inch bay. The necessary cables are already in place.
Warranty
HP continues to offer only 12 months of warranty for its ProBook 440 G6. This is quite standard nowadays, although some cheaper devices actually offer longer warranties (24 months).
Input Devices
Keyboard
Visually speaking, nothing has changed compared to the ProBook 440 G5. The six-row chiclet keyboard looks clear and offers a comfortable typing experience thanks to its large keys. This is supported by the significant pressure point, which, however, cannot be adjusted. Key attenuation is not too strong, thereby avoiding a spongy typing experience. There was a construction-related issue with the W key on the ProBook 440 G5. This is no longer the case on its successor. The keyboard gives way only under strong pressure, which should not occur when typing normally.
Due to the device's design, the up and down arrow keys have to share the space of one key and therefore require more precision when using. Overall, the HP ProBook 440 G6 offers a decent splash-proof keyboard with three-tier backlighting.
Touchpad
The touchpad is 11x6.5 cm large and offers sufficient space for gestures and navigating across the screen. The ClickPad fits perfectly to the general look of the device and is highlighted by slanted edges. The surface is quite smooth and we did not encounter any imprecise areas on our test unit. The two integrated keys at the bottom of the ClickPad mean the surface of the touchpad can be larger. They produce an audible clicking sound when pressed.
We cannot confirm that our HP ProBook 440 G6 has perfect workmanship. The ClickPad is closer to the edge on the bottom left corner than on the bottom right on our test unit. However, this is only an optical flaw and does not have an impact on the functionality of the touchpad.
Display - only average
HP has equipped its ProBook 440 G6 with a display that is almost identical to the one in the ProBook 440 G5. The matte 14-inch IPS panel has a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, which results in a pixel density of 157 ppi. Alternatively, there is also a configuration available with a cheaper display with 1366x768 pixels. According to the manufacturer, both display versions offer a brightness of at least 220 cd/m². We can confirm this for our test unit, which has an average of 238 cd/m². The black value is quite low at 0.23, which creates a contrast ratio of 1113:1. The predecessor's black value and display brightness were not quite as good, which also resulted in a lower contrast ratio.
None of the devices in our comparison field offer a particularly impressive display. The Fujitsu LifeBook E548 gets a couple of extra credits for its significantly lower response time. The LG panel in our test unit manages to regulate its brightness without PWM. However, we were even more bothered by the very visible clouding. This was most noticeable along the right edge of our test unit and was even visible during everyday use on dark scenes.
Please note:
Unfortunately, a defect occurred on our display during our testing period. It took the shape of a line that ran vertically across the entire screen. As this line was only one pixel wide, it did not impact further testing of the device. We assume that this issue is an isolated incident that just happened to occur on our test unit. Something like that can always happen - even to us.

* ... smaller is better
The display is of good quality despite its matte surface. We did not notice any graininess of the screen. As the DeltaE-2000 color deviation is slightly elevated ex-works, we assume that HP does not calibrate its devices before sending them to its customers. The grayscale deviation improved significantly after our calibration, while colors were only slightly better.
We also took a look at the display's color-space coverage and noticed that the display does not fulfill its specified 67% sRGB coverage. We measured only 56.9% coverage of the sRGB color space. The larger AdobeRGB color space is covered even less at only 36.1%. Professional users of image-processing software should avoid this device. The HP ProBook 440G6 is not ideal even for semi-professional image-processing.
The matte surface is perfect for using the device outdoors. The display brightness is also sufficient, although we would recommend avoiding direct sunlight and looking for a spot in the shade.

Performance - sufficient reserves
Our test unit is equipped with an Intel Core i7-8565U, 16 GB of RAM and a 512-GB storage device. This makes the compact 14-inch business notebook suitable to support virtual machines. Should this not be enough for a user, they can easily expand both RAM and storage space. The processor in this device is the strongest available for the ProBook 440 G6. More affordable configurations use an Intel Core i5-8265U, which is also based on Whiskey Lake architecture.
The included hardware is very harmonious and we did not identify any increased latencies during our test.
Processor
The Intel Core i7-8565U has four physical cores and can work up to eight threads simultaneously. The SoC has a base clock rate of 1.8 GHz, which can be increased to up to 4.6 GHz in turbo mode. The Whiskey Lake processor shows good single-thread performance with high clock rates, where it even reaches 180 points more than the average for the Core i7-8565U.
The ProBook 440 G6 is not quite as perfect at multi-core performance. The HP ProBook 440 G5, which is equipped with an Intel Core i5-8250U, actually reaches better results in this test.
The Cinebench R15 Multi loop is used to test the processor's capabilities under continuous load. Most devices respond similarly at the beginning of the test. Our test unit's performance dropped noticeably in the second round, after having reached a very good score in the first. After that, the ProBook 440 G6 stabilized its performance and reached an average of 535 points. This overall loss in performance is still acceptable. The HP ProBook 440 G5 had more difficulties during this test.

System Performance
The system performance of the HP ProBook 440 G6 is very good according to its PCMark benchmark results, and the device has a significant lead over its competitors. The results fit to our overall impression of the test unit. The system is ready for use very quickly after startup and we did not encounter any lags or long loading times while working.

Storage Devices
The storage device in our test unit comes from Toshiba. The SSD has a capacity of 512 GB and works at PCIe speeds, which mean that the read and write rates are very good. The Toshiba SSD offers better overall performance compared to the device used in the ProBook 440 G5. However, we would have expected a higher 4K read rate. 31.17 MB/s isn't too bad, but the Samsung model in the Lenovo ThinkPad A485 offers 41.46 MB/s, which is significantly faster. This disadvantage is not noticeable in everyday use.
Should you need more storage space, you can add a second hard drive using the free 2.5-inch bay. The necessary cables are already in place.
You can find further comparisons and benchmarks on our SSD and HDD comparison site.

GPU Performance
Unfortunately, our HP ProBook 440 G6 is not equipped with a dedicated GPU, although there is a configuration available with an Nvidia GeForce MX130. Our device therefore has to rely on the integrated graphics unit of the Intel Core i7-8565U. The Intel UHD Graphics 620 clocks at 300 - 1150 MHz and supports H.256/HEVC Main 10 decoding with a 10-bit color depth as well as Google's VP9 codec. This takes load off the CPU and ensures a smooth display of high-resolution video.
The HP ProBook 440 G6 lags behind in comparison to its competitors. The Huawei MateBook D 14 is slightly faster despite its i5 SoC. This is due to its RAM running in dual-channel mode. Should the ProBook 440 G6 be equipped with a second RAM module, it should be possible to get a little more out of the Intel UHD Graphics 620 - although users shouldn't get their hopes up too much. The Lenovo ThinkPad A485 offers significantly higher performance with its AMD Ryzen 5 Pro APU, which has an integrated Vega 8 GPU.

Gaming Performance
The HP ProBook 440 G6 is made for work - not for play. It will only display a few old games smoothly at low resolution and minimum details - but there isn't much joy in that. At least the device should be able to display simple browser games for the occasional break from office work.

Emissions - quiet, warm and long-lasting
System Noise
The cooling system of the HP ProBook 440 G6 includes a heat pipe and a small cooling fan. The fan does not really turn on until the device is under load, which means that users can often work in silence. Even at maximum load the cooling fan only reaches 33.1 dB(A), which is not particularly loud. Only the Lenovo ThinkPad A485 is quieter than that. The ProBook 440 G5 was a lot louder than its successor is now.

Temperature
The ProBook 440 G6 reaches significantly higher temperatures than its predecessor under load. We measured a maximum of 50.5 °C on the bottom of the base unit under load, which can be quite uncomfortable if the device is placed on your lap. This is the disadvantage of the calm cooling fan. Nonetheless, these temperatures only apply during very high load, which will hardly ever be reached in everyday use.
The Intel Core i7-8565U reached a maximum core temperature of 85 °C during Prime95 and clocked at 2.28 GHz. The CPU continues to reach the power limit of 15 watts which prevents it from heating up critically. The same temperature was measured during our FurMark stress test. The iGPU clock rate was more stable at 1050 MHz. The temperatures were slightly lower at 76 °C when both the CPU and the iGPU were put under load simultaneously, which is due to the shared TDP. This limits CPU and iGPU clock rates, which also means lower temperatures.
We took another look at the notebook's 3D performance and can confirm that there were no performance limitations after the load test.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 38.3 °C / 101 F, compared to the average of 34.2 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 50.5 °C / 123 F, compared to the average of 36.7 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24.1 °C / 75 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 30.3 °C / 86.5 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.8 °C / 82 F (-2.5 °C / -4.5 F).

Speakers
The included speakers are similar to those of the ProBook 440 G5. Again, the two speakers are positioned above the keyboard. The speakers of the Lenovo ThinkPad E480 are not as good in direct comparison, which is also due to the position of the speakers on the bottom of the base unit.
Thanks to the included software, users can adjust the sound of the membranes according to their personal taste. It is also possible to activate noise cancelation.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
HP has made significant improvements to the power consumption of our test unit compared to its predecessor. The consumption is significantly lower while idling (2.98 - 7.9 watts). However, our comparison devices from Fujitsu (LifeBook E548) and Lenovo (ThinkPad E480) show that power consumption can be even lower. Their lowest consumption is 6.3 watts while idling with the keyboard backlighting turned off. The ProBook 440 G6 was also quite energy-efficient during our stress test. Short spikes in consumption occasionally reached 43.3 watts.
The power supply has a rated output of 65 watts, which is largely sufficient for the HP ProBook 440 G6. The battery can also be recharged using the USB Type-C port.

Battery Runtimes
Despite the smaller battery compared to its predecessor, our HP test unit offers longer battery runtimes. The battery has a capacity of 45 Wh and is built into the device. Together with the Lenovo ThinkPad E480, it has the smallest battery of our comparison field, but our ProBook 440 G6 offers longer battery runtimes than the ThinkPad E480. The HP notebook reached a runtime of 8:24 hours in our practical Wi-Fi test. Under moderate use, the device should last an entire workday without needing to recharge. It should also easily outlast a long movie night.
The CPU and GPU performance are slightly throttled when running on battery. However, this is not really noticeable during everyday use.

Pros
Cons
Verdict - a modern HP ProBook
The HP ProBook 440 G6 is a device that is directed mainly at business clients with small to medium-sized firms. But the device is also suitable for end users as this device is ideal for everyday office use and surfing the web.
HP has reworked the ProBook 440 G6's case, making it slimmer and giving it a more modern look. The manufacturer has made a good choice of material with the aluminum finish giving the device a high-quality look. But not just the device's looks have been updated; the HP's components have been brought up-to-date, too, with Intel's newest processors - although we were not entirely convinced by the Cinebench R15 Multi loop results of the Intel Core i7-8565U in our test unit. Still, single-thread performance was very good, as was the overall system performance with our HP test unit making first place in our comparison table.
The HP ProBook 440 G6 is available for around $1300 in our test configuration. This includes a Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM and a 512-GB SSD. We appreciate the thoughts behind the display choice, but this is not sufficient for a device in this price range. A matte IPS panel does nothing if it is accompanied by subpar color-space coverage and significant clouding.
HP is on the right track with its ProBook 440 G6. Nonetheless, the device will have difficulties keeping up with its strong competition coming from other manufacturers.
We would like to highlight the good emission results. The low power consumption ensures long battery runtimes and the cautious cooling fan means low noise emissions. We were also impressed by the security features (fingerprint reader and IR camera), which worked perfectly. The presence of an SD card reader should also be mentioned, as many manufacturers tend to leave this out or only offer a microSD card reader nowadays.
However, a full-fledged business notebook should also include a smart card reader - which the HP ProBook 440 G6 does not. It might also have been a good idea to include a Type-C port that supports Thunderbolt 3. This would have distinguished the device from the crowd.
