Compact and solidly-built, the HP ProBook 5330m is a cleanly made 13-inch business laptop with up-to-date processor specs and a glare-free matte screen.
The $799 HP ProBook 5330m is aiming squarely for that middle ground with an all-metal, thin 13-inch body that's designed to be more appealing than chunkier business alternatives. Cleaner, more-minimal looks, a backlit keyboard, and Beats-branded audio are a part of the ProBook 5330m's attempt to be the cool guy in the boardroom meeting. But do they succeed? We'd say the experiment's a bit of both hit and miss. Yes, the ProBook's more portable and attractive than all-business models such as the ProBook 6360b. Still, no one's going to confuse this for anything other than a business laptop.
At $799 for a Core i3 processor and 4GB of RAM with a 500GB
7,200rpm hard drive, the ProBook 5330m is affordable compared with the
Toshiba Satellite R835, but with a battery that underperforms by
comparison. And as for Beats Audio...well, let's just say it's not
exactly an essential feature, nor does it actually endow this laptop
with good-sounding speakers. We'd focus on the ergonomic benefits of the
ProBook's solid keyboard instead, even if they're ostensibly less sexy.
If you want sexier than that, look for another laptop.
