Performance & Everyday Use
At the heart of this ProBook is the 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7, a four-core, eight-thread processor with a base clock of 2.4GHz and turbo speeds up to 4.2GHz. Paired with Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics, it’s a genuinely capable everyday chip — it moves smoothly through Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook, keeps browser-based tools like Google Workspace and web apps responsive, and handles video calls on Teams or Zoom without fuss. For general office productivity, study, admin work and web-based business software, it has the performance to keep up with a full working day.
This configuration ships with 8GB of RAM, which is an entry-level, everyday amount of memory. It is well suited to the common workload of a handful of applications open at once — for example your email, a browser with several tabs, and an Office document or two. If your day involves very heavy multitasking, large datasets, dozens of browser tabs or memory-hungry creative software, a machine with 16GB or more would suit you better. We’d rather be upfront about that than oversell: for straightforward office, home and study use, 8GB does the job comfortably, and the fast NVMe SSD helps the system stay responsive.
Storage is handled by a 256GB PCIe NVMe SSD. Solid-state storage is the single biggest real-world speed upgrade over an old hard-drive laptop — you’ll notice it every time the machine boots in seconds, wakes instantly and opens files without hesitation. 256GB is a sensible amount for the operating system, your core applications and a working set of documents; if you keep large media libraries locally, pairing it with cloud storage or an external drive is an easy solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 8GB of RAM enough for this laptop?
For everyday office work, web browsing, email, Microsoft 365 and study, 8GB is enough to run a normal set of applications smoothly. If you regularly run heavy multitasking, large spreadsheets, or memory-intensive creative software, we’d recommend a 16GB machine instead.
Does it come with Windows and an office suite?
Yes — it ships with Windows 11 Pro fully installed and activated. Microsoft Office / 365 is a separate subscription from Microsoft and is not included, but the laptop is ready to install it or to use free web-based office tools.
Is the screen a touchscreen?
No. This is a 15.6-inch Full HD (1920×1080) non-touch, anti-glare display — the standard business panel that reduces reflections and is easy on the eyes for long working sessions.
Can the storage or memory be upgraded later?
The HP ProBook 450 G8 is a serviceable business laptop, so storage and memory can generally be upgraded by a qualified technician. If you’d like more headroom down the track, that’s an option — feel free to contact us for guidance.
What does “certified refurbished” actually mean?
Each laptop is professionally cleaned, fully tested across hardware and software, and restored to a clean Windows 11 Pro installation before dispatch. It’s inspected, graded honestly and backed by our 12-month warranty.
How much does shipping cost and how long does it take?
Standard shipping across Australia is free. Orders are dispatched promptly from our Melbourne warehouse, with delivery times depending on your location.
