Performance scores
A 2012 ProBook 6475b with an aging AMD A6 APU and CPU at the floor of the bracket
The HP ProBook 6475b is a 2012-vintage business machine built around an AMD A6 4400M APU with a Radeon HD 7520G, landing at just $135 — well below the business-class median of about $297. At this age, every meaningful metric reflects the platform's vintage: the CPU score is at the floor (0 against a median near 53), reliability is very low (2), and the APU's integrated graphics cannot run modern games. The case for this machine rests entirely on the rock-bottom price.
The price is the only real story
There is no metric on which this laptop leads its modern peers — the CPU score of 0 and reliability of 2 both place it at the very bottom of the bracket, and capability data confirms the APU cannot hit minimum playability on modern titles like Metro Exodus, The Witcher 3, or GTA V. The case for this machine rests entirely on the very low asking price.
CPU performance is the honest ceiling
The weak spot by level is CPU performance (0), which reflects a 2012 AMD A6 APU at the end of its useful life. The Radeon HD 7520G integrated graphics are also obsolete — they cannot run modern games at minimum settings. This is a machine for offline document work or as a spare, not for any productive workload.
Slow depreciation, near the floor
From a base near $1300, the laptop has settled to $135 at roughly 6% per year, with a projected value around $119 in two years. The curve has flattened — most of the value has already been lost.
Vintage peers bracket it tightly
Slightly pricier options include the HP ProBook 6570b ($145) and Dell Latitude E6330 ($144); cheaper alternatives include the HP 250 G3 ($122) and HP 250 G4 ($127), which offer similar vintage business hardware for marginally less.
Bottom line
The ProBook 6475b is worth considering only as a near-disposable machine for genuinely light duties — offline documents, a spare, or basic web access. The CPU and graphics are both at the floor of the bracket, so buyers needing a dependable daily driver should spend slightly more on a much newer peer.
