HP ProBook x360 435 G7: AMD Ryzen 4000 as unique selling point
Although the AMD Ryzen 4000 series offers better performance compared to current Intel CPUs, the former processors aren't available in business convertibles that can be used both as tablet and laptop. The only exception is the HP ProBook x360 435 G7, which promptly received a good score in our test.

An incomprehensible situation for us, since the AMD Ryzen 4000 series is superior to the current Intel processors in terms of CPU and GPU performance. Users who appreciate convertible features, such as being able to use a pen, should have the option for AMD CPUs as well.
Fortunately, there's at least one option for this user group: The HP ProBook x360 435 G7, which we recently subjected to an extensive test.
As was to be expected: In terms of performance, the HP laptop outperforms its competitors. This applies both to the similarly expensive Lenovo ThinkPad L13 Yoga and the much more expensive HP EliteBook x360 1030 G4.
The latter also applies to the remaining characteristics of the HP laptop: In HP's business portfolio, the ProBook 400 series only represents the entry-level solution, but the ProBook 435 x360 G7 doesn't lag behind in any way. Very good input devices, a high-quality aluminum case, and long battery life make it a great work device. Nevertheless, this naturally raises the question of why HP only uses the Ryzen 4000 CPUs in the cheapest convertible model.
I was an ardent reader of Notebookcheck’s laptop reviews even back in school. After writing reviews as a hobby, I then joined Notebookcheck in 2016 and have worked on device reviews and news articles ever since then. My personal interest lies more with laptops than smartphones, with business laptops being the most interesting category for me. Technology should make our lives and work easier and good laptops are an essential tool for that to happen. This is why laptop reviews are not just my work but are also my passion.

I've been fascinated with technology ever since I got my very first Android smartphone, which was quite a while ago. The power packed into such a small footprint still amazes me. Learning to program made my understanding of technology deeper, and at the same time, it expanded my interest to the area of desktop computers and laptops. All this led me to enjoy reading and watching reviews of new devices, and that's how I stumbled upon Notebookcheck. I immediately found their reviews to be very comprehensive, and luckily, I've even had the chance of translating them since 2019. When it comes to the huge field of technology, I'm currently also interested in specializing in Java programming.
