HP ProBook 4520s Review

The HP ProBook 4520s is a fantastic laptop to buy if you are on a budget but want to have a quality computer. The computer is powered by a i3 380m dual core cpu along with a 320GB (7200 rpm) hard drive. The graphics is an Intel HD 3000, which is adequate for computing, videos, and non-demanding graphics gaming. For the price and quality, this is a great buy for those looking to purchase a new laptop for under $500.

IS IT BRIGHT enough to watch movies/anime? and can it handle 1080p (BD rip as well)??

[jnjsez]

@SteamAlchemist Yes, it is bright enough.  Not the brightest screen but that's a good thing. Colors look natural and not saturated. I think BD rips should play since its a modern laptop, but the resolution is only as good as the screen's resolution.

@jnjsez, Evening I've had my 4520s for a few months now for IT Training, but I am having some issues. I'm running Win 7 Pro x64 SP1, i5 CPU M 460@2.53 GHz, 2534 Mhz, 2 Core(s) with 4 Logical Processor(s), 4 GB RAM.

However, I've been having issues with performance and serious lag and now my Windows Update keeps failing. I've tried every troubleshooting step from every forum i can get my hands on. Even restarted from the factory settings twice! Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

@tcoleman701 Sounds like a virus issue or some sort. My suggestion is call HP and order the recovery disks. Then using disk manager delete the recovery partition, and then combine with the main hard rive. Using the recovery disks format the hard drive. Install a good internet security including antivirus (e.g., kaspersky or norton). Then update windows and then copy whatever files you need from your backup. That would be my approach. Doesn't sound like faulty hardware.

@jnjsez Thank you so much. I will buy extra monitor 23 inches so as to watch movies but sometimes, in my hometown, I watch anime as well so good screen in laptop is a basic matter;] Ordered one :D
