  The Good: Compact and solidly-built, the HP ProBook 5330m is a cleanly made 13-inch business laptop with up-to-date processor specs and a glare-free matte screen.

  The Bad: A spare design and underperforming battery may disappoint road warriors, and it lacks USB 3.0. The Beats Audio improves headphone listening, but speakers still sound middling.

  The Bottom Line: 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.

  Review Summary: 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...

  Review Summary: The HP ProBook line of business notebooks has always attempted the meet the needs of businesses and consumers alike. The new HP ProBook 5330m looks like the perfect solution if you want a powerful, aluminum-wrapped laptop for work and play but can't...

  The Verdict: For a laptop that was designed (at least in part) to be a lower-cost Windows alternative to the 13-inch MacBook Pro, the HP ProBook 5330m is a pretty impressive machine. I would actually recommend this notebook over the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 (arguably the...

  Review Summary: Ultraportable business laptops are as much a part of a business traveler's life as comfortable suits and airline tickets. Like their consumer counterparts, these small laptops are compact enough to fit in most bags and light enough to carry without...

  The Verdict: While slightly more expensive than some other laptops, and handicapped by poor battery life, the HP ProBook 5330m offers a solid combination of hardware and supports it with robust security software.

  Review Summary: 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...

  The Verdict: The HP 5330m comes with better than expected security software for business users or anyone with sensitive data

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

  Review Summary: If only all trickle-down schemes worked this beautifully. With its sleek lines and thin, two-tone brushed-aluminum chassis, the HP ProBook 5330M has adopted the executive-chic aesthetic of its enterprise-laptop big brother, the EliteBook, and, boy,...

  The Verdict: Straddling small-business and enterprise laptops, this ProBook offers solid performance and high style at a very low price. Still, it's missing a few key elements, so know what you're getting—and not—before buying.
