HP ProBook 4520s XT944UT 15.6-Inch Laptop

I was rather surprised this laptop was dark brown. The picture made it appear gray. I'm not fond of the keyboard's feel...large square keys but you get used to it. A good display. The mouse is just a flat panel that sits flush with the keyboard bezel and hard to locate by touch. Also, it has a tendency to ignore me on occasion even though I adjusted it's settings (no sweet spot found). I would have also liked this box to have a phone modem for FAX. It is thin and light weight and should travel well. Its fast, has stable operation, and not loaded down with a lot of junk software. Battery life is reasonable with the "energy star" rating and really does not waste energy with excessive heat. This computer was designed for business use and it fits the description. Overall, I am very pleased with my purchase and recommend this laptop.

This is a very well built laptop. I was very impressed with how solid it is. Given its price, I was expecting much worse. You can hold it from one corner and there is no creaking or such. DVD drive is aligned with the back edge so it is solid in front where one tends to grab it.

Some people don't like its keyboard, but I got used to it pretty quickly.

The thing that I am unable to get used to is the fact that buttons of track pad also touch sensitive. So, my left hand is on the button (ready to click) and I am trying to move the cursor with right hand index finger. This confuses the track pad obviously, because there are two points of contact. This has made the use of this laptop very difficult.

Track pad is not centered on the whole keyboard.

Battery life is much less than claimed. I don't play any videos.

I've owned my Probook for somewhere in the vicinity of 9 months or so and other than a few minor quirks have been very pleased with this laptop. My model has the Core i5 processor and 4 gigs of ram and is zippier than any laptop I've owned. I run this thing constantly and have never had any issue with overheating or noise. The Probook looks beautiful, I absolutely love it's brushed bronze finish and chiclet keyboard, but my one issue lies with the touchpad, much like other reviewers. I've mostly mastered this problem, but my husband and brother in law both can't use the thing without shrinking the screen. Overall, aside from that one little thing (if it bothers you so much, get a wireless mouse I personally love them) this is a great computer. Oh, and it's a little on the heavy side, but I use mine like a desktop so it's also a non-issue for me. I'd highly recommend it if you can find one for a good price.

Lap top was fine at first but then problems with connecting wireless internet, 2hours on the phone to India, without a satisfactory result, they promised to send out discs to re install hard drive, unfortunately I was travelling overseas so had to purchase a new laptop as the discs did not arrive in time, one positive outcome was that Amazon did not argue just told me to send it back and they would refund the money.

I would buy again from Amazon.com but maybe not HP.
