By Amber Riippa, NotebookReview Staff | | 8526 Reads

The HP ProBook 4520s is a small and medium business notebook with Windows 7 Professional 32-bit and is currently available on Newegg Business for $480 with its Intel Core i3-370M (2.40GHz) processor and configuration for $100 off the list price. Keep reading to find out if this system works for your business.

The 15.6-inch ProBook 4520s has a clean style and build and is made out of brushed metal and a matte finish to help prevent against fingerprints and the day-to-day scuffs and scratches.

As far as specs go, the sale model comes with 320GB of hard drive storage space at 7200rpm, 2GB of DDR3 memory which can be upgraded to 8GB, and a 6-Cell 47WHr battery that was tested by us to deliver 4 hours and 18 minutes of mobile life.

We said the 1366 x 768 anti-glare high-definition display with a matte finish is "perfectly usable and features good color and contrast," and that the horizontal angles are "quite impressive."

We also said the system has a great full-sized keyboard and that the audio and speakers are on par with most other business notebooks.

More specifications and features:

3 USB 2.0 ports
1 Express Card/34 slot
1 VGA port; 1 HDMI
Intel HD graphics
5.27 total weight
Energy Star certified
