Reviews for the HP ProBook 4425s
Source: Computer Shopper Archive.org version
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.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
