HP ProBook 4310s – 4311S Laptop Mall+254

HP ProBook 4310s – 4311S Laptop keys’ slightly textured, scratch-resistant finish, and their comfortable spacing. Unlike the 15- and 17-inch versions of the ProBook, the 4310s lacks a number pad–not that we expect one on a 13-inch system.

HP ProBook 4310s keyboard is spill-resistant, to boot. On the other hand, once we started pounding out documents a bit more furiously, the keyboard flexed a little. Then again, this might have something to do with the fact that we tested a preproduction unit. HP says that the final units offer structural changes designed to reduce the keyboard’s flex.

HP ProBook 4310s keyboard 2.8 x 1.4-inch touchpad is plenty large, and the rubbery texture provides the right amount of friction. The touch buttons–like those on the other ProBook models–feel like trap doors. Instead of being straightforward push buttons, they’re hinged at the top, so only the part closest to the edge of the notebook depresses. We would have preferred traditional buttons. They’re smaller on the 4310s than on the 4510 and 4710, but are still awkward.
