Performance scores
HP ProBook 4 G2i 16": the same platform, one diagonal up
The ProBook 4 G2i 16" is the big-body seat of HP's 2026 entry business line: the identical Core Ultra 5 322 and Xe3 platform as its 14-inch sibling, traded onto a 16-inch frame. The numbers repeat almost line for line; the carry column pays for the screen.
Where it holds up
Reliability is the flagged strength: 83 against a whole-catalog median of 50, a 66 percent edge in the top quarter of the field — the 2026 build's years as a measurable asset. Mobility still reads 69, top quarter, remarkable for a 16-inch body, and every comfort axis holds the sibling's level: office 88.21 top band, photo 76 high band, performance 54.86 mid-band with the task axes mid throughout. Graphics at 45.85 against a median of 32.85 is the same honest mainstream placing.
Where it falls short
The flagged weakness is the composite score of 48 against a whole-catalog median of 58 — the platform's entry-rung ceiling. Portability steps down to 46, mid-band, from the 14-inch sibling's 71.6 — the diagonal's honest tax. The value index of 26.3 is low-band, the same entry-ticket asterisk as the sibling's, and with no flags recorded there is no gaming case to make — nor should there be.
Price and depreciation
No listing price is recorded for this configuration, and no depreciation curve is modeled — so there is no resale math to quote and no dollar projection to weigh.
Alternatives to consider
The ProBook 4 G2i 14" in this batch is this machine with the carry column restored — portability 71.6 against 46 — at identical readings everywhere else; the diagonal is the only decision. The ThinkBook 16 Gen 9 offers the same big-body formula with a mid-band value index of 37.4 instead of the low-band 26.3, if the value column matters.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class, the ProBook 4 G2i 16" is the platform's big-screen seat: top-band office and top-quarter reliability and mobility held onto a larger frame, with the carry column and value index paying the diagonal's price.
