Build and Design

The HP ProBook 4425s has a very neat and professional look with brushed metal covers over a plastic body. The panels on this current generation of ProBook are dark copper or bronze in color and can be found on all sizes, including AMD and Intel models. Compared to the first generation models with only plastic showing on the exterior, the newer design looks great and adds strength to the notebook. The brushed metal finish is used throughout the notebook, including the screen cover, palmrest, and speaker grill. To compliment the finish, the surfaces not covered in metal are glossy black plastic, adding another touch of class to this stylish small business notebook.

Intel 2.53GHz Core i5 460M
Intel HD Graphics/nVidia GeForce GT 330M
Memory: 2GB Ram
HD: 320Gb
Screen: 13.3-inch, 1366 x 768

Battery tested: 385 mins
Dimensions/Weight: 331x234x27mm/2kg

Samsung produced some great laptops in 2010 and, on the evidence of the SF310, 2011 looks to be another vintage. Providing a successful mix of power, portability and usability the SF310 is also an extremely competitively priced machine, leaving many competitors floundering in its wake.

Ok, the 2kg chassis isn’t quite as light as we would’ve liked and it’s certainly bulkier than the latest Apple MacBook Air but the excellent 384 minute battery life offers over six hours of battery between charges, meaning you can leave the adapter at home on day trips.
