This is not 445 G8 but actually 455 G8. 445 series represents the 14" version of the ProBook series for AMD and 455 is for 15.6" version. Google the keyword of the model number 38X53UT#ABA and you will find the details as well.

This is a great deal, the 5600U is a beastly processor and FYI this has upgradable ram! Really putting that "Pro" name to work here at least.

:

Laptops around $800+ should have 1tb ssd and not placeholder 256gb ssd.

This is a Business Laptop from HP, and normally they cost a bit higher than their consumer counterpart. The price is a bit high, probably due to the supply shortage of the Zen 3 based Processors but not a bad price.

This laptop has mediocre colors. Only 600:1 contrast ratio. While color gamut is usable at 60% sRGB, contrast makes the colors washed out.

If you have access to the HP EPP program through work, you can customize one for around the same price, but get the much better 400 nit screen

Shipping Date is August 2021 for all the Laptops having Zen 3 based CPU, including ProBook 455 G8, 445 G8 and 435 X360 G8. I have posted one deal on 435 G8 here with 5800U but estimated shipping date is July initially and now has been pushed to August.

For those who aren't aware, some of the 5000U APUs are Zen 2 refreshes, and as such you'll notice some potentially larger price disparity between the -500 and -600U compared to last gen. The 5600U is on Zen 3 architecture, which is why it may appear a large step up from 5500U-based deals. The 5500U is based on Zen 2 architecture.

Cheat sheet:
5n00U
n=even? Cezanne, Zen 3
n=odd? Lucienne, Zen 2

This does not apply to the -H series.
