Back in the 24-hour interval, business laptops were bulky, ugly crates that could splinter the spine of a fully-grown mountain bear. Thankfully that'due south all in the past, and now modernistic business portable PCs are not just slim and low-cal, they're too surprisingly chichi, appealing to the boilerplate consumer as well as suited and booted execs.

HP's business concern ultra-portable, the ProBook 5330m, follows the release of the ultra-slender and impressively waterproof Lenovo ThinkPad X1 last calendar month. The HP ProBook 5330m packs Intel Sandy Span technology into a thin 28mm aluminium chassis, and the outcome is a heady mix of ability and portability.

If you're constantly on the move, you'll love that slender build. This portable is but as sparse as Lenovo'south ThinkPad X1, and only a little chunkier than the Samsung 9000 Serial and new Sony VAIO VPC-Z21V9E.

With a meaty 13.three-inch screen, the HP ProBook 5330m slips into almost any haversack or carrier yous might own. It won't counterbalance yous down on lengthy trips either, thanks to the 1.9kg frame.

Still despite the slim and lite build, the HP ProBook 5330m is very well put together. The lid is sturdy, with only minor flex in the centre, and firmly continued via two solid hinges. Nosotros also struggled to detect whatever weak spots in the two-piece chassis, which endured some severe pounding from our mesomorphic fingers and came off no worse for wear.

Unfortunately the HP ProBook 5330m'due south appearance caused split opinions at TechRadar. Some felt the body was rather boxy and plain, while others warmed to the almost retro design. Make up your own mind on that one.

The keyboard fills a skilful clamper of the chassis and is laid out in the popular 'isolation-manner' pattern (each primal pokes upwardly through a separate hole in the chassis, which spreads them out).

The keys are surprisingly well-sized, despite the HP ProBook 5330m's meaty chassis, and so touch typing is a quick and comfortable experience. Even the arrow keys aren't as well cramped compared to some, although the Enter key is relegated to a single row high.

Still, the travel of the keys is rather shallow when they're hit, and we constitute the occasional button press didn't register. A item offender, for some reason, was the 'o' key. Reading back over this review, we institute lots of instances of 'laptp' and 'PrBok'. Information technology'due south not a massive upshot, but can be annoying when doing internet searches.

The touchpad is perfect, thankfully. The shine surface covers a wide area, with raised mouse buttons that make them piece of cake to click. It'south surprisingly common for a touchpad to be duff, but the HP ProBook 5330m's is a winner.
