For starters, the ProBooks offer exceptional build quality, good battery life, excellent input devices, capable hardware at a reasonable price and M.2 SATA SSD support. The latter is pretty uncommon for entry-level notebooks. We know all of this because the ProBook 455/450 G3 and 440 G3 have already been reviewed here in our office and now it’s time for the 17-incher.

However, like in most cases, the 17-inch 470 G3 doesn’t really pose really compelling selling points over the 15-inch and 14-inch version except for the bigger working space of course. The hardware, including the battery, unfortunately, is identical – up to Core i7-6500U CPU paired with up to AMD Radeon R7 M340 GPU and up to 16GB of DDR3 RAM. With this configuration, we expect slightly lower battery runtimes due to the larger screen surface that needs to be lit but as far as the rest goes, the 470 G3 should perform similarly to what we’ve seen on the 14-inch 440 G3 and 15-inch 450 G3.
