Review HP ProBook 4530s Notebook

Down-to-earth. That's the best way to describe the new HP entry level business notebook. A new case design, solid construction, and up-to-date hardware, as well as a 15.6 inch display, are the most important prerequisites. Is the HP ProBook 4530s with...

HP ProBook 4530s review

The keyboard has isolated keys and is mostly efficient, though the up and down cursor keys are tiny and are fiddly and the keyboard isn't quite as comfy under the fingers as many. We really like that you can disable the touchpad with a simple double...

The Hewlett Packard ProBook 4530s LH311EA could double up as an office and home laptop, and the fingerprint sensor is a nice extra for the security-conscious user.

Review: HP ProBook 4530s Notebook PC

A stylish business notebook with decent performance, which is not too heavy given its size. It would make a good desktop replacement system since it is too bulky for day-to-day carrying around. But it is missing USB 3.0 or eSATA ports for fast data...

HP ProBook 4530s review

HP's consumer laptops look stylish, so it is no surprise that we're beginning to see a new flair for design in the company's enterprise models as well. With its rounded corners and plenty of brushed aluminium, the ProBook 4530s certainly stands out...

It can’t match the extensive connectivity of some of its competitors, but the ProBook 4530s is still an excellent business laptop. Beyond the eye-pleasing styling, it has solid performance at a mid-range price. The superb keyboard makes it a joy to use...

Good Laptop - Bad Refurbisher

I honestly wouldn't recommend this (AST) refurbisher. The laptop is great for the price, but you have to factor a new charger and battery into the picture.

Decent Laptop Easily Upgraded to 1080P display and Quad Core i7 Processor Easily Hacknitoshable

Battery was chinese knockoff that gave warnings at every boot Charger was a shady chinese knock off.

decent system

nice features. keyboard+10 digit. upgradeable, quiet and cool. for the average user, it is great right out of the box. usb 3.0, lightscribe and HDMI

screen is native 1366x768. awkward, and not the brightest, but not horrible. no Ivy Bridge compat, so CPU upgrades are limited to Sandy Bridge - M. i3 is ok for average browsing, office and media, but could use a i5 to remove sluggish or laggy...
