HP Pro c645 Chromebook Enterprise
The Pro c645 Chromebook Enterprise uses AMD’s new Athlon and Ryzen 3000 C-series CPUs, which promise 151% better graphics performance, 104% higher productivity performance and 153% better photo editing performance than the A-series CPUs already found in some Chromebook models. Staying on the topic of performance, the Pro c645 Chromebook Enterprise can be equipped with up to 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 128GB SSD. Similar to the Pro c640, this new model is military-grade tested, which means it can withstand extreme conditions, like high altitudes. HP says the Pro c645 can endure for 10 hours and 30 minutes and get up to a 90% charge in only 90 minutes using Fast Charge. At 0.65 inches and 3.4 pounds, the Pro c645 Chromebook Enterprise is relatively portable, although we’ve tested much thinner 14-inch laptops. Speaking of the display, the Pro c645 can be equipped with a 14-inch, HD (1366 x 768-pixel) or FHD (1080p) display but we strongly encourage you to spend extra on the upgrade. As a business laptop, the c645 comes with a healthy selection of ports, including two USB-C inputs, two USB Type-A ports, a headphone/mic jack, an HDMI port, a microSD card slot and a Kensington lock. Optional features include a fingerprint sensor for fast and secure login and a backlit keyboard. A webcam shutter is included on all configurations. The Pro c645 Chromebook Enterprise is expected to arrive in early December. Pricing has not yet been determined.
