HP Probook 430 software has a pretty light amount of preloaded software. HP’s Probook series is cheaper than the company’s business laptop offerings, consisting of two distinct models. First, there is the Probook 600 series specifically designed for larger businesses and the HP Probook 400 series for small businesses, students or self-employed.

It is currently the smallest model of this series, with a 13.3-inch display. HP Probook 400 models also sell 14-inch, 15.6-inch and 17.1-inch if you desire a bigger display.
