Built for small-business users, the HP ProBook 4425s packs many of the features you'd typically see in enterprise laptops—but at a budget-friendly price. You get a sharp-looking machine with a bright 14-inch screen and a bundle of software conveniences. Business buyers feeling this economy’s pinch will appreciate this budget-friendly ProBook. It isn’t perfect, but handy HP extras make it worth the $699 price.

The HP ProBook 4425s is an attractive-looking SMB laptop, but performance, despite the allure of a quad-core processor, wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

While it sports an attractive and durable design and comes with helpful security software, the $849 HP ProBook 4425s lacks both the power and endurance of similarly priced competition. For $130 more, the HP EliteBook 8440p, for example, gives you much better performance and battery life; same goes for the $859 Lenovo ThinkPad L412, which has the same RAM and hard drive, but an Intel Core i3-370M processor. Yes, this small business machine gives you quad-core power, but it doesn't last long enough on a charge.

The reason why so many people like displays with medium size is, that this size is not exhausting for the eyes, does not need too much energy and the laptops can be kept quite compact.

These sub-notebooks weight less than the average of all notebooks, but represent a heavier class of weight among the sub-notebooks. 13 inch displays are normal for this class of weight.
