HP ProBook 4330s LW836EA Review posted on 2011-12-12
13.3 inch Portable Notebook
For about £ 550 the HP ProBook 4330s (LW836EA) delivers everything you will need for your daily task. It might not be the sexiest, slimmest and lightest 13.3 inch notebook out there but it makes it up with a wide range of ports, DVD-RW drive, removable battery and a solid chassis. Add 4-5 hours of battery life and you got yourself a very compelling notebook choice for the road. There is however one negative point that might turn some away - the cooling fan noise is constantly noticeable if you are working in a quiet environment.

With the ProBook 4330s, HP presents an attractively priced subnotebook for business customers or those who prefer having a matt screen and metal case in their notebook. The subnotebook excels in workmanship. It can't quite reach the manufacturing quality of higher priced EliteBooks, but that isn't a disgrace for a laptop priced at under EUR 500.
