HP ProBook 4510s Notebook PC Review luxury notebook


luxury notebook

The HP ProBook 4510s Notebook PC (VA033PA) is a 15.6in laptop designed for business users, but it looks nothing like a business notebook. It has plenty of gloss, clean lines and a 16:9 widescreen display. There is actually nothing that screams "business notebook" when you glance at it except for the dedicated number pad, which is sure to make accountants squeal with excitement (as will its attractive price).

The design of the HP ProBook 4510s Notebook PC (VA033PA) is very appealing. It has a latch-less screen that can be opened with one hand (though only just) when the laptop is sitting flat on a desk, and it has a keyboard with isolated keys that sit at the same level as the palm rest. They look great, but they take a while to get used to. Each key is 15.5mm wide and there is a 3mm gap between them. Some keys have an odd shape, such as the bottom row of keys (which are deeper than they are wide), and the arrow keys are very small (only 13mm wide and 10mm deep).

The standard system is configured with a 2.1 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 CPU and 2GB RAM. The performance was just a little below average of mainstream notebooks but you should remember that the system is a $700 budget notebook not a $1200 one. However navigating between multiple tabs of internet explorer was no problem and the performance is not sluggish by any means. The system comes with a 5400 rpm 250GB HDD does also deliver standard speed. It booted Windows XP in 65 seconds which is only 4 seconds longer than the industry average. There is a 3D accelerometer to protect the hard disk from shocks caused by drop offs.

While any notebook computer can be used for a small business we have seen companies steer buyers towards dedicated lines and away from consumer products. Lenovo has their ThinkPad SL series and Dell has their Vostro models, and now HP has their ProBook line. If you are familiar with HP’s products then you know the EliteBooks, HP’s high-end business notebooks, which are suitable for enterprise buyers as well as anyone who is concerned with features over price. The ProBooks will be a step (or two) down from there, but different from HP’s Pavilion (consumer) products. Just for clarification, the “b” series will be remain to be HP’s entry-level corporate notebooks while the “s” series will be the entry-level SMB product. There is some crossover between all these, but the ProBook will remain the most like HP’s consumer notebooks and you won’t see any enterprise features, like Intel’s vPro.

The HP ProBook 4510s starts at 5.7 pounds and runs a 15.6-inch (16:9) display. Our model shipped with Windows Vista Business 32-bit, 2GB of RAM, Intel’s T6570 (2.1GHz) CPU, and a 250GB 5400RPM disk. The computer’s 1366×768 display was powered by Intel’s integrated graphics (4500MHD) while communications go through Intel’s 5100 a/g/n WiFi as well as Bluetooth. This build will sell for $749, though our test unit (a pre-production model) had a 6-cell HP ProBook 4510s battery where the 4510s at this price will ship with an 8-cell.

Most business laptops come with a smart card reader and other security measures that are wasted on home users, but the 4510s has none of these. Instead you'll find features such as an HDMI port and a memory card reader. There's a 320GB hard disk and four USB ports, plus Bluetooth and Draft-N WiFi. An ExpressCard slot is also present, but it's the smaller 34mm variety.

We really liked the square-edged, piano-black case, which overhangs the ports around the edge. The keyboard has flat, square keys that are separated from each other, with the glossy case visible between them. Keys have a light action and enough travel to provide adequate feedback for touch-typists. There's a gap between the main keyboard and the numberpad, and the layout is neat and clear. The touchpad is a bit small and the button action is a little light and loose, though.

That said, in a recent customer satisfaction survey published by Forrester Research, Gateway was the only Windows-based PC maker rated above 65 percent - equivalent to an "OK" rating. HP, Dell and others scored less than 65 percent, while Apple scored 80 percent. (Customer satisfaction isn't a pure measure of product reliability, however.)

The 4510s warranty includes one-year parts and labor, pick-up or carry-in (HP pays for shipping), plus toll-free 7/24 hardware technical phone support (for the life of the product). You can upgrade the warranty to get on-site service, and the primary battery comes with a one-year limited warranty.

The Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 processor with a working frequency of  2.1GHz has been employed. A 2GB RAM is housed in this mobile computer, which can be upgraded to a maximum of 8GB. A SATA hard drive of 250GB capacity is also on-board this business laptop. An optical DVD read/write drive is built into this portable PC as well. The 15.6inch screen of this laptop presents a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It is a widescreen and offers wide viewing angles. This feature makes this laptop suitable for official presentations, where people can view the screen clearly, despite sitting at angles to the display. For handling graphics, the Intel GMA 4500MH has been incorporated in this device. 128MB of memory has been dedicated to videos and graphics. Being business oriented, this laptop features the Microsoft Windows Vista Business operating system. The keyboard is spacious and well laid out.

HP ProBook 4510s FN076UT laptop is nearly identical to HP ProBook 4510s AW998US, It also has 15.6-inch diagonal(1600 x 900) 16:9 LED-backlit HD BrightView display that supported Intel GMA 4500 MHD graphics engine. 4510s FN076UT equiped with HDMI port to expand the display on HDTV.

ProBook 4510s FN076UT is comes with the power of Intel Centrino Processor Technology featuring 2.1Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo T6570 processor that coupled with 2GB RAM and 160GB hard drive. This affordable lightweight notebook PC also equiped with Dual Layer DVD±RW drive with LightScribe.

The HP ProBook 4510s is a solid, though not overwhelmingly impressive small and medium business notebook. Compared to similar notebooks like the Dell Vostro 1510 and 1520 or the Lenovo ThinkPad SL500, the ProBook 4510s is more impressive than the Dell and is either better or worse than the ThinkPad depending on configuration. Whether you're a small business owner looking for a low-cost notebook for yourself or a medium business needing desktop replacements for a few dozen employees, the ProBook 4510s battery will get the job done. Bottom line, the HP ProBook 4510s is a fine notebook for its intended market, but if HP made a few simple changes to the design and purchase options then business buyers would have even more reasons to buy this laptop.
