AI-generated summary
At £740.87 ex-VAT, an HP ProBook 16-inch like this is only a good buy if you need a fairly standard, dependable “workhorse” for daily office duties and want something that’s easy to manage in a typical business environment. HP’s ProBook line tends to be solid on build quality and supportability, and the larger 16-inch screen is a nice quality-of-life upgrade for people who live in spreadsheets, reports, or multiple windows all day. In a UK B2B reseller context, the main value is usually the platform being predictable—less fuss, more reliability—rather than raw performance.
I wouldn’t buy it if your users need heavy workloads (CAD, serious design/video work) or if the priority is maximum speed for the money. Also, watch out for “good on paper” pricing: £740 ex-VAT is in the zone where some competitors can offer better performance per pound, so if you don’t actually need the size and comfort of a 16-inch class machine, you may be overpaying. If you tell me what the main use-case is (e.g., finance admin, CRM users, remote workers) and whether they’re replacing something older, I can say more precisely whether this price is fair.
