We start the second part of the article about HP’s ProBook 4530s review by talking about the ports found on this laptop.

An attractive business notebook launched by HP last year is the ProBook 4530s which came out for just $729. It is a 15-inch laptop that benefits from face-recognition technology and also comes with a fingerprint reader for improved security.

HP EliteBook 8540p Review, Rugged Meets Business (2)

Jul 09

Although it looks pretty much like a traditional keyboard, the one on this HP EliteBook 8540p feels more like a chiclet-style one. The key tops are entirely flat and have a sharp edge that drops off in order to reveal the surrounding border that doubles as a spacer between the keys. The design of the keyboard is very good and it doesn’t show any signs of flex even if you apply pressure. While...

The HP Pavilion dv5t (2010 model) features a 14.5-inch display that has a native resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels which is just too low taking into account that the laptop comes with a Blu-ray drive. Even so, this glossy screen is of high quality but you should know that the viewing angles are not wide at all. For playing Blu-ray discs you can use the bundled HP MediaSmart DVD software but it’s...

HP is a known company for rolling out stylish laptops and a very good example would have to be the Pavilion dv5t which comes with a subtly glimmering lid and a surprisingly bright display. When it came out it had a base price of $699 and was offered as standard with a fast 7,200 rpm hard drive. For more money it could be fitted with a Blu-ray drive, turning it into a great multimedia system. It...
