HP ProBook 5330m review

HP’s latest business laptop, called the ProBook 5330m is a true ultrathin and looks more like an EliteBook than a traditional ProBook. With its 13.3 inch display and a two tone metal chassis it looks more like a nice accessory than the workhorse that it is.
The HP ProBook is a great alternative for the Apple MacBook Air, in fact it may even be better, if you compare its Intel Sandy Bridge full-voltage dual core processor to the very dated Core 2 Duo low voltage processor of the Apple MacBook. Also the ProBook 5330m has a backlit keyboard and proprietary flash storage, unlike the Apple MacBook.
In addition to superior performance the HP Probook also offers “Beats Audio” with software-enhanced audio playback over the built-in speakers and the earphone jack. The 13.3-inch (1366 x 768) matte display provides for bright colors and sharp images and viewing angles of up to 45 degrees to the left or right and no reflections at all.
To prove that it is indeed built for business the the ProBook offers business security features such as TPM and Intel vPro, and for the IT manager the HP Probook 5330m offers TPM circuitry and optional Intel vPro processors. The ProBook also has the following features that IT managers require to manage a fleet of computers: Intel VPro chipset for remote management, fingerprint reader for extra security and more.
