With a weight of 2.6 kg, the ProBook 4510s has a design that is only "mediocre". The "angled" camera body and glossy lid, unique with the simple "good looking" "merlot" deep blue and red velvet. A small trouble has become an "inherent" disadvantage of the glossy surface coating models that are easy to "stick" to very uncomfortable fingerprints. The simple yet effective design continues to show on the keyboard that floats on a flat and wide base, bringing "a little" direction to the typical keyboard of the Apple MacBok. The 15.6-inch screen with 16: 9 aspect ratio not only provides a spacious workspace but also indirectly extends the size of the keyboard, adding space for the number pad group - Number Pad - separately. But besides, the Function, Ctrl, and Alt keys are minimized. In general, soft and smooth keys do not cause noise when used.

There are no multimedia touch keys like the HP Pavilion series, but users can use function keys such as shortcuts to adjust the volume and transfer songs. The ProBook 4510s touchpad is smaller and narrower than usual, but a smooth, frictionless surface makes the mouse pointer quite easy. Two "proportional" mouse buttons with Touchpad require users to move close to the edge of the device every time they press.

15.6 inch screen with original resolution of 1,366 x 768 pixels, LED backlight, sharp display with better color mixing and power saving than LCD screen for other "popular" models . It is possible to choose between a mirror screen or a brighter anti-glare screen, displaying clearer text characters. But the weak point of this screen is the limited viewing angle when watching DVD, the image changes gradually from black to gray when moving away from the center of the screen so it is difficult to enjoy movies with your friends or family members. this screen. The sound quality of the integrated speakers on the ProBook 4510s is acceptable. When listening to music, the sound is light but clear.

The ProBook 4510s is also fully equipped with connectivity ports: LAN, VGA, HDMI, four USB ports, headphone / micro jack, modem with rubber dustproof cover, memory card reader and ExpressCard / 34 expansion card slot . Full wireless connection including Bluetooth, Wireless 802.11a / b / g / n. The 2 Megapixel webcam works well but for a slightly darker image, it is necessary to support the brightness of the LCD LED backlight.

The HP ProtectTools software security features can appeal to small and medium business customers. Users can encrypt and protect data throughout the hard drive or can "permanently" delete files with HP File Sanitizer and HP Disk Sanitizer applications. In case of forgetting the password, HP SpareKey will give you an "opportunity" to "reset" the password if you correctly answer some important personal questions. In addition, the ProBook 4510s is also equipped with a "personal screen" that makes passengers sitting next to you on buses, trains and airplanes unable to "curious" into your work screen. In addition, HP has equipped two new services: CompuTrace's LoJack, and HP QuickLook 2. Just press the button next to the power button, you can view your "contacts and calendar" even in status "Off" or "Hibernate" machine without booting into Windows.

In terms of performance, the ProBook 4510s works at a "good value" for the "rice bowl", even more powerful than the "Lenovo ThinkPad SL500" heavyweight rival in all tests.

As expected, the Intel GMA X4500 HD graphics card "has enough power" to support the Aero effect of the Windows Vista Business operating system interface. In fact, when playing FEAR games, the ProBook 4510s can only output with 16 frames per second and 6.7 frames per second with Company of Heroes game. Although a bit "weaker" than the ThinkPad SL500, both models are not capable of "downloading" modern games.

The ProBook 4510s comes with a 6-cell battery. But with 8-cell battery option, it can watch DVD continuously for 3 hours, equivalent to 5 to 6 hours of use for "lighter" applications, while the battery life of the ThinkPad SL500 is only 2 hours. 12 minutes. With a 6-cell battery, the device only works for a maximum of 2 hours and 11 minutes.
