Review HP ProBook 4540s Notebook

 

Modified details. The refresh of the well-known ProBook 45X0s series wants to score with a matte screen, good application performance and two operating systems. Our test reveals whether the laptop is compelling.

Good application performance, Good maintenance and upgrade options, Good keyboard, Two operating systems (Windows 7 + 8), Device's low temperature, Security features, The casing, the good keyboard and the easy maintenance

Only twelve month warranty, Too loud in idle, Again: a quieter fan

HP ProBook 4540S-H5U86EA

 

3rd generation i5 2.6 is a very capable processor with duel cores for editing photos and videos. Very well built most impressed with the quality. 4 usb ports a hdmi slot and dvd writer for this price is amazing value for money.

Not one I would carry away from home but I knew the weight before I bought it so my choice. The battery claims are not realisitic as a working time. I am lucky to get 3 hours editing but if you are doing less strenuous tasks then you may get more...

HP 4540S CI3/2370M

 

Really well configured laptop with very little pre-installed garbage on it. Seems a bit faster than the i5 it replaced - less Win7 'blue doughring' activity!

None really. Win 7 Pro is a ludicrous premium over Home
