https://liliputing.com/2018/05/hps-new-business-laptops-are-powered-by-ryzen-...HP’s new business laptops are powered by Ryzen chipsHP is updating its EliteBook 700 and ProBook 600 line of business-class laptops with a new set of models
that are all powered by AMD Ryzen chips.
The new HP EliteBook 735 G5, EliteBook 745 G5, and EliteBook 755 G5 will sell for $999 and up, while the new HP ProBook 645 G4 has a starting price of $759. All four laptops should be available this month.
You can figure out the screen size for each laptop by looking at the middle number: the EliteBook 735 has a 13.3 inch display, for example, while the ProBook and EliteBook 745 both have 14 inch displays.
So let’s take a look at the specs for the smallest model:
HP EliteBook 735 G5Display: 13.3 inch, 1920 x 1080 pixel IPS display (with 220 nit touch and non-touch options, or a 220 nit touchscreen option)

Memory: Up to 32GB DDR4-2400 (2 SODIMM slots)
Storage: 128GB or 256GB SATA SSD, 512GB M.2 SATA SSD, or 256GB or 512GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD
Ports: 1 USB Type-C, two USB Type-A, HDMI, Ethernet, headset
Audio: B&O stereo speakers and multi-array mics
Cameras: HD camera + HD IR webcam (for Windows Hello) plus ambient light sensor
Battery: 50 Whr (with USB-C charger)
Dimensions: 12.2″ 9″ x 0.7″
Weight: 2.94 pounds (non-touch) or 3.32 pounds (touch)
HP says the laptop will be available with a choice of Windows 10 Pro or Home, or FreeDOS 2.0.That last line is interesting -- this is for all the Linux users who do not want to pay MS tax on their finished units because they have NO PLANS to use Windows at all. Plus, since you have to contract separately with the Microsoft Store to get your final version of your Windows OS anyway, it makes no difference if they ship it to you with FreeDOS or with Windows Lite (so save the money).
So, not only does Intel gets the boot, but Windows does as well.
