Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery
The HP ProBooks of the S series create the entry level of the ProBook family. They are positioned below the higher quality EliteBook series. Buyers looking for an attractively priced notebook and don't want to waive on a matt screen or metal case could find this one to be just right. While we have had the 17 inch 4730s model and the 15 inch 4530s in for review with battery such as HP ProBook 4330s Battery, HP ProBook 4430s Battery, HP ProBook 4436s Battery, HP ProBook 4530s Battery, HP ProBook 4535s Battery, HP HSTNN-DB2R Battery, HP HSTNN-IB2R Battery, HP HSTNN-LB2R Battery, HP HSTNN-I02C Battery, HP HSTNN-OB2T Battery, HP TPN-Q144 Battery, HP HSTNN-Q89C Battery, it is now the 13.3 inch model's turn.
The list of the notebook's optional equipment is long and extensive. Everything from a simple Intel Celeron processor up to a high performance Intel Core i7 processor can be found here. However, we are at the lower end both in terms of performance and price. There is hardly a more affordable entry into the ProBook family possible at the moment. Our notebook configuration currently only costs about €429. We will find out if the notebook really earns the name ProBook or if HP has made too many cutbacks in our review.
The ProBook 4330s is again equipped all business-like in view of communication options. Besides Gigabit LAN from Realtek, it has the WLAN standards 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 3.0 +HS. HP also installs an in-house Ic2010 mobile broadband adapter, which enables UMTS, in our test sample. Thus, the ProBook 4330s doesn't leave anything to be desired in this point.
The Intel Celeron B810's power consumption of 9.9 - 13.6 watts in idle isn't significantly lower than the rates of a few Core i3 or i5 processors. But, the load looks better for the Celeron; the processor is comparatively energy-efficient with 27.8 - 33.2 watts here. The 65 watt power adapter has a generous capacity and thus has no problems supplying the notebook with enough energy.
HP states a runtime of 5 hours with the 6 cell battery in the 4330s. We can confirm this rate depending on the measurement we use. For example, when the notebook is used without WLAN and minimum brightness in office mode, we even reach a considerably higher rate of 6 hours and 46 minutes. We still reach a battery life of 4 hours and 28 minutes when surfing on the Internet with adequate brightness. The user has 3 hours and 16 minutes for mobile DVD entertainment. 1 hour and 49 minutes is possible when computing-intensive tasks are performed on the go. The standard battery needs 1 hour and 49 minutes to recharge.
We would like to again mention the program, HP Power Assistant, which monitors the notebook's entire power consumption. In addition to specifications about the screen's present consumption or current enabled energy saving profile, there is also information about single modes. Thus, it is possible to open a diagram that shows how long the notebook can remain in a specific state, so for example, how long the notebook can run on battery power and so forth.
With the ProBook 4330s, HP presents an attractively priced subnotebook for business customers or those who prefer having a matt screen and metal case in their notebook. The subnotebook excels in workmanship. It can't quite reach the manufacturing quality of higher priced EliteBooks, but that isn't a disgrace for a laptop priced at under €500.
The keyboard and the touchpad convince for the most part. Although there are a few minor reasons for complaint, the ProBook has very good input options.
Another plus of the 4330s is its good mobility. The low weight and the good battery life are noticed here.
Unfortunately, cutbacks are made on the screen in low-end notebooks - and the ProBook 4330s is no exception. While the brightness is just still acceptable, the black value and color reproduction isn't impressive and the contrast can only be called poor. However, it has to be noted positively that it is a matt screen and that it fulfills its purpose in the office field very satisfactorily.
The notebook isn't a performance miracle due to the Celeron processor, but the notebook is nevertheless very well suitable for Office tasks. The use in Office life is likely one of the notebook's strengths. The performance is absolutely acceptable for editing documents, making presentations and doing Internet research.
