AMD has made great strides in the past couple of years and the chipmaker’s latest win is its Ryzen 7 now featuring in the HP ProBook 635 Aero G7, a business laptop great for the telecommuting crowd.
The Aero G7’s engine bay has the Ryzen 7 4700U processor, which some PC buffs might note is not the latest version of AMD’s mobile processors. That would be the Ryzen 5000 series.
The HP laptop also has Radeon Graphics running at 2,000MHz, 16GB of Ram and a 1TB solid state drive. Still a good amount of performance for most business users, to be sure.

Asus is improving its ExpertBook B9 line of professional notebooks. Even with the additions, the device will remain the world’s lightest 14-inch business laptop.
The biggest feature of the new ExpertBook B9450CEA is Intel’s vPRO technology, which brings enhanced security and improved IT management features to the laptop. Intel vPro also helps with Asus’s Two-Way AI noise-cancelling technology, a wireless feature that aims to improve signal clarity, specifically with video conferencing. Intel’s Active Management Technology (AMT) is also new to the ExpertBook, improving remote management.
The ExpertBook B9450CEA features up to two 2 TB SSDs that can be configured in RAID 0 or RAID 1, up to 32 GB of LPDDR4x-4266 RAM, WiFi 6, and Thunderbolt 4. Powering everything is one of the latest 11th Gen Intel Core i7 CPUs with Intel Iris Xe Graphics.
