Still no usb-c only charging.. come on..  >:(

I'd rather have more charging diversity, not less. USB-C is a nice addition to standard charging, though less useful in basically every laptop implementation, since most require 20V, which is rarely ever provided by a phone charger. This means I have to carry around yet another charger, anyways.

No, you don't need to carry an extra charger. Just use the laptop charger for the phone instead of the phone charger to charge the laptop.

USB PD negotiates the voltage and power with the device, a laptop 20v charger has to be able to supply the basic 5v for the phone

No option for 4800U?
Seriously?
Why?

8 cores is not enough for this device? seriously? why?

Also, why no adoption of 5600m and 5700m for a dedicated GPU if people want it?

ah ok, it was some trolling from you, nvm

16gb memory, poor trackpad and a wasted port for charging, I would have preferred USB-C on both sides.

They should just call it HP ChildBook instead of ProBook to better reflect the target audience.

@jeremy - I've never had a problem with USB-C charging. That sounds more of an issue with the model you bought.

It supports USB-C charging, and even can be ordered with a charger that is USB-C.

On the contrary, USB-C-ONLY charging is not a good idea, and I've been dealing with it for the past 2 years. USB-C PMIC is far more temperamental than just a standard barrel jack controller, has already received firmware updates to not die, and occasionally decides it doesn't want to charge at all (requiring a battery pull to restore basic functionality).

This means I have to carry around yet another charger, anyways. I know the VAIOs allow for a trickle charge from 5V USB-C, which is far more useful and my Thinkpad works with the rare 12V USB-C chargers, which is occasionally useful, though the functionality has come and gone with various UEFI (really EC) updates.

cool cpu lineup, 3200 memory, 400 and 1000 nit screens. im fine.

Why only 16 GB RAM max? It's stupid.

16GB Max memory? Come on HP, you can do better.
