HP 470 G8 review – a huge improvement over last year’s device
Source: Laptop Media EN→zh-CN
We rarely see this these days. A device focused on usability, but without breaking the bank while offering one of the good 1080p 17-inch displays on the market. Yes, this is the HP 470 G8, and from what we learned in this review, it is a really big challenger to the IdeaPad 3 (17″, 2021), which currently holds the crown for an inexpensive 17-inch laptop. On the other hand, HP provides you with two SODIMM slots for memory upgrades, and an M.2 PCIe x4 slot for NVMe SSDs. And if you find yourself the mounting hardware, you can put a 2.5-inch SATA device as well. So, should you buy the HP 470 G8? Well, it still lacks some key features like an SD card reader or DisplayPort output on the USB Type-C port, but it is a big upgrade over last year’s model. If you happen to find a good deal on a Tiger Lake-equipped specimen, go for it!

HP 470 G10 review – its IPS display is a nice surprise
Source: Laptop Media EN→zh-CN
The biggest pro of the HP 470 G10 is its display (BOE BOE0A9D). This 1080p IPS unit boasts 94% sRGB coverage and a 342 nit max brightness. Its color coverage can be additionally enhanced thanks to our “Design and gaming profile”. The default average dE result is 3.6 but with our optimizations, it reaches a score of 1.2 which is great. The panel is also PWM-free so you can use it for long hours of work without experiencing headaches (but hey, don’t forget to take short breaks from time to time). The other thing that we like about this machine is the full-sized keyboard with NumPad and an optional backlight. The keycaps have long travel and clicky feedback which is pretty comfortable for work. The downside here is the small amount of flex during typing that can be spotted in the middle of the board.
