Sometimes you have to buy a bunch of laptops for their employees when they need laptops. HP EliteBook expected range of 5330m low-cost laptops will do. Here we look at the $ 799 version, which excludes certain features of this cheap shot.
What will you give up? The ProBook 5330m missing SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0) support. And while the marketing literature mentions HP Bluetooth support which made our test unit did not have this capability. The EliteBook also only three USB ports. A port on the left side is a combo USB 2.0/eSATA-port, two USB 2.0 ports are integrated into the right side. The left side also has video outputs, including VGA and HDMI. To complete the left side is an SD card slot.
On the right side is a simple mini-jack audio jack alone. If you need a microphone, you can attach an analog microphone here. Or you can use it for headphones. You can not have both at the same time. The ProBook not a microphone in the top of the screen for use with the webcam. The other two USB ports are on the right side, as the Ethernet connector and power connector.
