We did a double take when the HP ProBook 5330m first arrived in the IT Pro offices. With its metallic construction and black, backlit keyboard, it bears an uncanny resemblance to the 13in MacBook Pro. Despite the initial similarities, the ProBook isn't just...
The HP ProBook 5330m would be an excellent ultraportable laptop if only it had the long battery life to go with its sturdy, attractive design and good specification. As such, it's just a good laptop rather than a superb one. If you can live with its co...

Our test unit is equipped with Intel's Core i5 processor and 4 GB RAM. While the 128GB hard drive may seem a little small, its of the fast SSD drive variety. There is an integrated finger print reader as well as a UMTS (3G) radio aboard. As before, HP del...

At the end of the work day, the HP ProBook 5330m is the kind of business laptop you'll be happy to take home. For just $799 or $899 you get a well-equipped notebook with extremely durable construction, good performance an a nice keyboard with LED backlighting. Of course, at that price you have to accept limited configuration options, limited ports, and average (but still decent) battery life. I w...

It would be easy to look at the HP ProBook 5330M ($899 direct), with its slim profile and metal-clad exterior, and brush it off as another design emulating Apple. But you should never judge a notebook by its cover. Thanks to an Intel Core i5-2520M proc...
