It is sad that ProBook 5310m is a stylish business notebook.Hp promises performance, battery life, and value inside a 13 inch notebook.

The ProBook 5310m is designed for medium businesses.It’s build so that it has a cheap price and great performance.
The new ProBook succeeds where previous ProBooks failed because those notebooks sacrificed quality and design just to create a low-price notebook, but the result was not so good.
Still it has an industrial-looking exterior.
It has no built-in DVD or Blu-ray drive.That will affect some business buyers that like watch DVDs during flights or other business trips.

The outer shell of the screen is made out of aluminum.It is not recomanded to sit on this notebook but it can support a dozen or so of heavy books.So it will survive enything that a business traveler can throw at it.
But still if the laptop gets dropped accidently , it features a new standard hard drive shock protection device that will prevent your harddisk from breaking appart.

The new design made easy to access the RAM, hard disk and other components.
If you want to buy the 5310m at a reasonable price the only way is that you buy a pre-configured model.

The screen is 13.3” and has a display with a 16:9 ratio and anti-glare.When using the notebook indoors it is best to leave the brightness set to between 50-70%.
You will get some color shift after you get past 75 degrees off center but the horizontal viewing angles are good enough.

The built-in speakers are not so good.The audio sounds at maximum volume sound distorted.
The headphones work well and there is no static or other noise.

The keys are flat and have a nice texture when as the spacing between the keys is big enough and it offers a lot of comfort.The noise when typing is not so loud and it doesn’t disturbs and the depth of each key is excellent.Overall the key board offered by HP on thin notebook is great and wonderful to use.

The touch screen works exactly as it should an it’s very responsive.The texture and the cheap material of the touch pad will develop wear in time.The buttons are almost the right size and they have almost the right depth when pressed.

The Intel Core 2 Duo P9300 processor, clocking in at 2.26GHz and Intel integrated graphics hive the ProBook an incredible level of performance without losing too much battery life.
The A 320GB 7200RPM hard drive helps the applications load without much lag.
The 5310m has enough power to handle Microsoft Office or even very basic video work.

The machine remains cool and very quiet in normal use.The exhaust fan wasn’t audible even when running high performance applications.
