A glance at our comparison diagram shows that the 7200U performs better than its predecessor in our CPU tests. It is a mid-range ULV model with more than enough processing power for office and browsing applications. Our current test device comes with its successor, the dual-core Core i5-7200U (Kaby Lake) processor. The ProBook 640 G2, which we reviewed in 2016, has a Core i5-6200U (Skylake) processor on-board. It is not possible to open the lid with one hand however, it can be opened to 180 degrees. The hinges hold the display firmly in position, but they teeter lightly. Overall, the lid is too unstable for a notebook that costs more than 1,000 Euros (~$1062). These can also be produced by placing pressure on the back of the lid. The lid, on the other hand, can be twisted considerably further, resulting in image distortions. The base unit below the touchpad and in the area of the optical drive gives in slightly when placed under pressure. The gap dimensions are satisfying to a large degree there are no material overhangs and/or sharp edges to be felt. The device does not manifest any major manufacturing flaws. Removing the bottom shell gives you access to the hardware, but more on that later. ![]() HP did not put a maintenance hatch on the notebook. The rubberized lid makes the device easier to grip, but it is also somewhat prone to fingerprints. HP uses mostly plastic, only the upper side of the base unit is made of metal. The laptop does not differ from its predecessor on the outside it comes with the same black and silver case.
