Horizontal viewing angles were very good as were the vertical angles.
Those who don’t like glossy screens will appreciate the matte finish on this panel.
HP also nailed the keyboard and more importantly, the touchpad.
The Sandy Bridge-based Intel i5-2410M is a solid performer at this price point.
Our informal YouTube 1080p full screen video test taxed the CPU around 15-20%.
The ProBook’s speakers are a little louder than most and I think this mostly stems from positioning.
Bottom-mounted speakers fire straight down toward whatever surface you have the computer on.
At idle and during basic usage, the system is very quiet and barely gets warm.
Connectivity options on the ProBook 6360b are pretty good for a business machine.
These options would likely fall on deaf ears with most consumers but working professionals will appreciate the changes.
I conducted our standard notebook battery tests on the ProBook.
Max screen brightness is used and Wi-Fi is enabled.
This test resulted in 5 hours and 44 minutes of life.
The ProBook also has the option of an external “slice” style battery.
One final feature that I really enjoyed is the tool-less access panel on the bottom of the system.
As always, it simply boils down to your individual needs.
