The HP ProBook 4530s is a business laptop with an attractive and durable design, strong security and a variety of tools to help you accomplish your work while you're out of the office. This laptop's standout features include its wide selection of connectivity options. It also provides the tools to make it a fast and powerful computing device. However, we are disappointed with a few areas on this laptop, including its battery life and hefty size.

One of the high points of the HP ProBook 4530s is its attractive and sleek appearance. This computing device comes with a large 15.6-inch display screen with 1366–by-768-pixel resolution. The large screen makes it ideal for working long hours and for viewing all types of multimedia. Even though this device features a high resolution, it is not as sharp and crisp as we would expect. The images on the screen do not appear very bright and vivid.

The HP ProBook 4530s is well built and durable. A few bumps will not do any damage to this computing device, although it is bulkier and larger than several similar laptops. It weighs 5.22 pounds and is 1.13 inches thick. Its larger size can make it a hassle to carry around all day.

This business laptop offers a selection of security features to ensure that your data is safe when you're on the road. These security features allow you to manage and create passwords. There is also a fingerprint scanner and face-recognition software available on this device as an added amount of security.

One of the biggest drawbacks to the HP ProBook 4530s is its short battery life. This business laptop provides up to six-hours of battery life. This battery life will work fine if you are moving from room to room or are nearby your charger. However, if you're out on the road or gone for extended periods of time, the six-hour battery life may become a major problem.

This computing device features fast and powerful performance. This business laptop provides the Intel Core i3 processor with speeds of 2.2GHz. If you desire more power and an even stronger processor, you can configure this laptop to include a variety of Intel Core processors, including the Intel Core i7 processor. In addition, the 4530s offers the Intel HD Graphics 3000, or you can choose to upgrade.

In addition to all of the features, tools and strong performance this business laptop offers, it also provides 4GB of RAM. This amount of RAM is plenty for most computing needs, but there is the option to configure up to 8GB of RAM on this computing device. In addition, the 4530s offers 500GB of hard drive space. Once again, this is a large hard drive that provides an ample amount of storage space, but if you desire more, you can upgrade and enhance your hard drive even further.

As we mentioned before, The HP ProBook 4530s offers a wide variety of connectivity options. This business laptop offers one USB 3.0 port and three USB 2.0 ports. There is a VGA and an HDMI port. This computing device also features a variety of audio ports, including one microphone-in port and one headphone/line-out port. There is an integrated microphone, along with integrated speakers.
