HP Introduces the ProBook 4525s Notebook PC

As part of a big announcement of new notebook computers, HP is revealing the new 15.6-inch HP ProBook 4525s Notebook PC. This attractive new business machine will come in two colors Caviar which is a dark almost black finish and Bordeaux which has a tinge of red in it. The new computer will ship with AMD processors (Phenom II Quad or Triple Core, Turion or Athlon Dual Core or V-Series Single Core) and advanced multimedia support as part of the AMD VISION Pro line of computer platforms. The playback controls for things like watching movies are now part of the keyboard itself. And the ATI Mobility Radeon graphics along with the 1366×768 resolution display will make this a suitable notebook for watching 720p HD video. An HDMI out port will allow you to connect it to an external display carrying both the video and audio for an easy to use single wire connection.

The Bordeaux Color Option

Power is an important factor in a notebook computer. the 4525s comes with a 6 cell battery. An optional 9 cell battery will give you even more life while going mobile. HP’s included HP Power Assistant which will show you how much life is left in the battery and help you to conserve if need be.

These new computers come with a brushed aluminum finish, instead of the traditional plastic bodies from previous HP systems. This is a significant change for the company’s offerings.

Getting at your information quickly is important to business users. HP’s QuickLook 3 helps you access email, dates and times, contacts and tasks within seconds. HP QuickWeb does the same for getting online even if your computer is turned off.

To protect your data, besides security software (see specs below) the HP 3D DriveGuard will keep your hard drive safe in the event of a drop, thanks to the accelerometer detecting the drop and telling the hard drive to stop.

These new systems will be priced starting below $700.
