Tough business. The 5330m packs a standard voltage Sandy Bridge Core i5 CPU with a healthy amount of security software, all wrapped in a 13.3-inch magnesium alloy case. See how the features stack up and if this notebook is a worthy successor to the 2009 ProBook 5310m.

Unfortunately, the niggly usability is irritating and the poor battery life means you'll be lugging the charger around.

The aluminium-finished HP ProBook 5330m looks a lot more expensive than it actually is. The HP ProBook 5330m is a very enjoyable notebook to use on an everyday basis. It could use longer battery life and a USB 3.0 port, but for $999 we think it nevertheless represents good value for money: it's well built, has a backlit keyboard, performs well and offers good security features.

HP ProBook 5330m uses an Island Style Keyboard they have a soft and flat surface compared to scooped caps Lenovo is using. Although they are quiet, they do not offer as much precision as you would expect. They felt sticky and sometimes, they fail to register the letters. Nonetheless, it is back lit which is great when working in rather dark spaces.

Battery performance with the included 4-cell battery is good at around 4 hours, which is standard for this type of laptop with a similar battery.

Overall, the HP ProBook 5330m offers few frills, but what it does include is well executed. So if you do need a no-frills unit, this compact, near-£650 unit from HP will bear closer scrutiny.

Business laptops used to be business laptops and consumer laptops consumer--and never the two did meet--but, things have changed over the past few years. The redesigned HP ProBook 5330m is meant to be a stylish rethinking of business laptops. We've heard that before. In the case of this ProBook, it hits the basics but is not really that much of a reinvention.

The ProBook 5330m's a hell of a laptop for what you'll likely pay: even if you opt for the lowest-end, $799 pre-configured model, you'll get an encrypted 7,200RPM drive, 3G radio, and fingerprint reader. And though we can't promise its design will be your cup of tea, it is lightweight enough for travel and built from high-quality materials, to boot.

The HP ProBook 5330m has many things going for it: strong performance, great looks, awesome audio, strong wireless scores, and best-in-class bundled software in HP Protect Tools. Unfortunately, this laptop's short battery life is a serious drawback for a notebook this size. Small business users should also consider the ThinkPad Edge E220s, which provides a better keyboard and lighter chassis, or the Toshiba Portege R835, which has more than 2 hours of additional battery life. However, if you want a strong business notebook with great looks and top-notch security, the ProBook 5330m should be on your list.

The lackluster battery life and lack of an optical drive are the biggest drawbacks to the HP ProBook 5330M. If you don't stray far from power outlets for long stretches at a time, and the lack of an optical drive and USB 3.0 connectivity aren't obstacles for you, the HP ProBook 5330M can get you excellent Core i5 performance inside a stylish and sturdy body for a very reasonable price.

In the end, the HP ProBook 5330m is a good looking notebook with a great keyboard and a good screen. Its internal specifications are fine, but the lack of an optical drive and average battery life could be its downfall. It is a bit heavy, too.

HP's ProBook 5330m offers a good value for those looking at a solidly built business class computer. Its aluminum and magnesium body may look a bit dated but is very well built. Performance is good thanks to a high speed hard drive but there are similarly priced laptops that come with faster processors.

The HP ProBook 5330m is a business notebook, but if you didn’t know that, you might confuse it for a very nice consumer notebook thanks to a number of user-friendly features. Unlike many business notebooks, the HP ProBook 5330m has backlit keys, good Beats Audio and a premium on looks.

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 comparatively short battery life or just need a fast processor, it's a good alternative to the MacBook Air. If applications performance is entirely unimportant, the considerably cheaper Sony Vaio Y series has longer battery life making it a great budget alternative.

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.

Taken on its own, the HP ProBook 5330m seems like a reasonable laptop. Business travelers will be pleased by the sturdy construction, matte display and excellent performance. At least, that is, until other mile-high executives pass by in the airport with their own choices. Suddenly the flaws in this product start to reveal themselves.

Silver Worker. With the ProBook 5330m, HP is updating the smallest of its ProBooks. Aside from a completely new aluminum design, there's also a solid hardware update. There's a new high end dual core processor from Intel and an SSD drive, to speed up your work on this subnotebook even further.

71.23%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
