HP ProBook 640 G4 — 14" Business Laptop with Quad-Core i5
A certified refurbished HP ProBook 640 G4 with a quad-core Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, on a 14-inch display running Windows 11 Pro. A dependable everyday business machine, backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
-
Quad-core i5 performance: The i5-8250U has 4 cores and 8 threads with boost to 3.4GHz — a real generational step up from the dual-core i5s that preceded it.
-
Solid-state storage: The 256GB SSD gives fast boot times, quick file access and plenty of room for documents and applications.
-
Windows 11 Pro: BitLocker encryption, Remote Desktop and domain join included — the business edition, not Home.
-
Portable 14-inch chassis: The practical size for daily carrying: large enough to work on properly, small enough to move around easily.
-
Business-grade keyboard: A full-size ProBook keyboard designed for people who type all day, not occasional use.
-
Certified refurbished: Fully tested, data-wiped, cleaned and graded by Reboot IT, with a 12-month warranty and free standard AU shipping.
Performance in Use
The ProBook 640 G4 is the value end of business refurbished stock, and the quad-core i5-8250U is why it still holds up. When Intel moved the U-series from two cores to four, everyday multitasking changed noticeably — a busy browser alongside Outlook, Teams and Office documents no longer forces the machine to choose.
The 256GB SSD is the other half of the equation. Boot times, waking from sleep and opening applications all feel immediate, which is the difference most people actually notice day to day. For general office work, email, web-based systems and document handling, this configuration is comfortably sufficient.
It suits a business fitting out staff without spending heavily per desk, a home office, or a student who needs a reliable and properly built machine. It is not a performance laptop, and heavy media work or virtual machines are better served elsewhere.
