Business-centric laptops are not among the top choices when shopping for a laptop.

LAPTOP

But I would argue that it should be. After all, they offer some of the best security at a level not found on most mainstream laptops-case in point, the HP ProBook 440 G9, HP's affordable business-centric laptop.

DESIGN 4/5

The HP ProBook 440 G9 is a sleek and elegant laptop with a silver aluminum body.

It has a 14-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS display that does not claim a fast refresh rate nor specialized color gamut calibration. Is this a bad thing? Honestly, I don't believe so. For the target audience of the ProBook series, having faster frame rates and all the color gamut are just good to have features but not necessary. My only issue with the display is that I felt it needed a bit of vibrancy since it was a bit too dull for my taste.

The port selection is outstanding on the HP ProBook 440 G9. On the left, you'll find a Kensington Lock, a full RJ45 Ethernet port, and a USB 3.2 Type-A port. On the right are two more USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a USB 3.2 (Gen 2) Type-C Port, the audio jack, a full HDMI (2.1) port, and the power port. There is also another slot for the optional sim card tray.

Where the HP ProBook 440 G9 really shines is its portability. The laptop is just 1.38kg. For comparison, one of the lightest mainstream options, the Apple MacBook Air is just .08kg lighter. For thickness, the HP ProBook comes in at 19.9mm thin, not the thinnest but still quite portable.

HARDWARE 4/5

At the heart of the HP ProBook 440 G9 is either an Intel Core i5-1235U or an Intel Core i7-1255U. Both variants are also paired with either an Intel UHD Graphics or Intel Iris Xe graphics. Our review unit was the Core i7-1255U variant mated to Intel UHD graphics, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of NVMe SSD as storage.

SAMSUNG GALAXY FIT3

There's something about smart bands that resonate with me. Beyond being a fitness tracker, its small form factor makes it a joy to wear for everyday use. There's also the connectivity between your phone and the band to allow you to monitor your notifications and messages. But what really gets me is the number of health monitors fitted on such a small device. Samsung has done that and more in their latest smart band, the Samsung Galaxy Fit3.
