Today, we want to introduce the HP ProBook 5310m this is a slim and powerful performance with a main business notebook product, we can see from the models of this product is designed for business users HP ProBook series, but compared to the previous ProBook, this 5310M to ensure the product performance, functionality, it seems that more emphasis on product size, especially thickness, so this product when it is published in a foreign country is also known as "the world thinnest full-featured notebook. " HP's official website on the nominal size of this product is 328x221x23.5mm, and our measured data 326x222x22mm, and weight, 1.74kg in weight and stand-alone weight is 2.152kg of travel makes the portability of this product in a public notebook 13 inches ahead of the metal business.

Advantages: slim size, metal housing provides excellent protection capabilities, a balanced hardware configuration, office application performance and excellent support does not start browsing the web, e-mail capability, comes with multiple applications

Disadvantages: fever control in general, does not provide 15-pin D-SUB analog video interface

Able classic tough style

From the overall appearance, ProBook 5310m continued ProBook series of classic shape, Founder of the appearance of the metal shell so that this product exudes a familiar taste. Like the previous ProBook series, this ProBook 5310m of anodized aluminum shell with a material, while the lower part of the fuselage structure with a magnesium alloy, compared to the plastic shell to enhance the rugged, but also enhance the durability, to the greatest degree of protection notebook security.

A surface design and HP's business notebooks, like the past simple, brushed metal effect after treatment of roof surface with the classic HP LOGO so everything looks are so familiar. ProBook 5310m of the roof to keep the traditional solid, in actual use, we conducted a finger pressing on the cover test, no significant subsidence. With some piano and other surfaces using the "fashion" business notebook than, ProBook 5310m of the metal surface in addition to increasing the strength of the product, but also to avoid those "fashion" design susceptible to fingerprints, stains caused by contamination. " visual pollution. " While the brushed metal surface stains because of contamination and the same visual effect, but due to the surface of the extinction process and makes the stain does not look so conspicuous.

From the overall style of view, ProBook 5310m is still in the corners of the fuselage design with a smooth transition, but its more of a whole embodies a line of tough, but with the front of the fuselage, both sides of the use of thinning treatment, so this product revealed an "able" flavor.

The ProBook 5310m is one of the main selling point of super-slim design, but we see this product's screen thickness control is more general, although in order to "thin" and the use of the LED screen, but it has to 5mm thickness than the market positioning of products on some of the same thickness of about 1-1.5mm. Of course, the excessive pursuit of the thickness of the screen may result in inadequate protection of the screen, so this design is understandable. For its use of the wide-screen frame design have the potential to cause controversy among users.

From past experience, some users prefer wide-screen frame design, and some users prefer a narrow frame design. The relatively narrow frame design of some products used for, ProBook 5310m also has a the wide border, which left border width of 1.4mm, and the border width can reach 2.4mm, while Hewlett-Packard also uses this frameclass piano's effects processing, with 13-inch mirror LCD screen in the visual effects may cause some users of resentment, after all, not everyone used their own or the things around the screen and the screen is mapped in the frame above, and mirror screen and the border is too bright in some lighting conditions due to a strong environment was a strong reflection caused users to view the inconvenience.

Like with most products, ProBook 5310m is the design of the camera frame in the middle position on the screen, the mouth array microphone pickup with the camera as much as 7cm spacing achieved with conventional single-channel microphone productslocation of the microphone pickup port are arranged around the camera's position compared to 2-3mm, this stereo microphone pickup will be more excellent effect, while HP's official data showed that the microphone with digital noise reduction feature that allows users to to be more clear voice effects.

Highlights the business-style keyboard with shortcuts design

If the A side and B side brushed metal effect effect of class piano frame is a clear visual contrast, then ProBook 5310m C-face is a mix of both styles, above the keyboard and palm rest area with a and A effect of the same brushed metal surface treatment, the panel between the keyboard keys are used the effect of class piano. Because the key used ProBook 5310m after extinction treatment of matte surface, between the two styles play a role in the transition well, so this mix and match the visual style is not unexpected.

ProBook 5310m keyboard also use a discrete design, the keyboard is also commonly known as chocolate, this traditional styles of design quite stylish. Button surface with a matte black matte processing, and key is used between the panel surface of the screen frame with the same class piano effect. According to HP's official data, ProBook 5310m also features a new waterproof keyboard, according to our previous knowledge of HP notebooks, this key should ProBook 5310m HP DuraKeys using a special coating, making the key play with a stronger fight ability and durability, the ability to improve wear resistance 50 times, keys can have a longer life.

ProBook 5310m touchpad with an integrated design, the touch pad of the main screen using the B-side frame with the same material and class piano texture, can support multi-touch, scroll through web pages and other functions. The two keys are the metal, matte black surface after extinction treatment. However, be pointed out that the main surface of the touchpad, like with the piano effect in contaminated fingerprints, stains and then will become very dirty, so cleaning is often an essential user's daily work.

The whole body black with a different body, ProBook 5310m power switch with a silver white metal, mainly in black surrounded by quite a "little green leaves red," the mood.With the power switch located on the top left of the keyboard compared to, ProBook 5310m of the three function keys appears not so conspicuous, is the one position was placed in the right side of the keyboard panel, and secondly with the "huge" silver whitepower switch compared to the size of the three shortcut keys is a bit small. Three vertically arranged shortcut keys corresponding to the wireless network switch, quick-start the browser and mail software features.

Quick Start browser is based on the HP QuickWeb functions to achieve, even in the off state can be immediately connected to the Internet within seconds. The function-based HP QuickLook 3 quick e-mail browsing, you can allow users in the off state can read and write e-mail, calendar, tasks and contact information. And this set of function keys from a side business applications reflects the positioning of this product. In order to facilitate users to operate in dark environment, power, wireless network switch and two shortcut keys are designed with a backlit, allowing users in the dark state can also be very convenient to operate. In his left hand under the care of the user can find the hard drive status indicator ProBook 5310m, with white backlight that lights in the dark state is quite prominent.

Solid-state electrolyte batteries bring long endurance

ProBook 5310m comes standard with a 14.8V, 41Wh solid-state electrolyte lithium-polymer battery. We mainly use the Mobile Mark2007 software to simulate the daily office and multimedia applications and other major comprehensive assessment of endurance capacity. MobileMark 2007 is a notebook based on real-world battery life and performance evaluation software. It supports 64bit/32bit versions of Windows Vista / XP (Professional / Home). It has three test modes: Productivity module, DVD module, Reader module, respectively, will be called Adobe AcrobatReader 7.0, Adobe Illustrator CS2, Adobe Photoshop CS2, Apple Quicktime 7.1, Intervideo WinDVD 8, Macromedia Flash 8, Microsoft Office 2003 Pro, Microsoft Project 2003, Winzip 10.0.

ProBook 5310m comes standard with a 14.8V, 41Wh solid-state electrolyte lithium-polymer battery

In the notebook, we will run Productivity module and DVD module test, and record their performance scores and life. In the Internet, we will run the Reader module and the DVD module. In this product we have tested the high-intensity office and DVD player two areas, which simulate high-intensity office to run aspects of daily office users access to various software and system will be mixed, ranging from intermittent time to the maximum extent simulate user operating environment.

BAPCo MobileMark 2007 Release 1.05.861
Test starting battery = 100%, end of the test battery = 4%
Productivity 2007 Battery Life Rating 261
Performance Qualification 252
DVD 2007 Battery Life Rating 181

The DVD part of the test is simulated home environment, the more extreme DVD playback test, the ProBook 5310m is not equipped with CD-ROM, DVD module we used in testing the virtual drive, computer hard drives to read data from the test, so the test data and using CD-ROM drive will have a certain bias, but we think that rather than using the test method more close to the DVD drive to read the user's habits, after all, most used in the playback of video or more read data from the hard drive.

In the remaining HP Probook 5310M Battery power in the case of 4% 5310m adhere to the 261 minutes Office endurance test

In the test, we close the screensaver, sleep, and set the Probook 5310M Battery and the system are the highest performance mode, the test session in the office environment, ProBook 5310m of this battery provides 261 minutes of battery life, while the DVD player part of the final test results 181 minutes, taking into account this product uses high-frequency processors, high-speed hard drive power consumption so large, and require frequent testing of the hard disk read and write operations, can be said that such a result for a high-profile business laptop, enough to make us feel satisfied.

Power control is generally excellent heat control

Actual power consumption test

We tested this product in the three state power consumption. We use UNI-T UT71E intelligent digital multimeter for testing equipment, were determined to connect the power but not turned on (non-charge state), the boot is completed, no action within 5 minutes, but do not sleep (not loaded), and the boot is completed, loaded processor, disk work at maximum throughput (non-charge state), the power situation.

HP ProBook 5310m Notebook Power
UNI-T UT71E intelligent digital multimeter
Standby power consumption 0.4 watts
15.1 watt idle power
High-load power consumption 34.5 W

In these three conditions, ProBook 5310m power was 0.4W, 15.1W and 34.5W, such test data on the market with a number of similarly configured notebook at a relatively low compared to the level of this test data indicate that this product uses high-performance parts though, but its done in the power control is quite good, and some similar configuration of the product compared to the rate of increase is not very obvious, users enjoy high-performance Also, do not have to pay a high power to achieve energy-saving effect.

Heat test

In this test session, we adopted the FLUKE Ti25 thermal imaging equipment on this product, heat conducted a test to test the laptop main measure C, bottom, and vents temperature. In the test, we use the EVEREST software, select the System Stability Test, check all items, 15 minutes after the test, we measure the indoor temperature, the test data to the reader a more intuitive understanding.

HP ProBook 5310m laptop heat
Fluke Ti25 temperature = 25.5 C
Maximum temperature of 42.7 degrees C surface
Maximum temperature 17.2 degrees C surface
The bottom of the maximum temperature 48 degrees Celsius
The bottom of the maximum temperature 22.5 degrees Celsius
Outlet temperature of 53.1 degrees Celsius

Our test platform around the five points of the temperature test, five-point temperature of 25.5 degrees Celsius respectively 25.7,25.7,25.6,25.2 and, taking an average of 25.5 degrees.

In the test, we intercept EVEREST software test results as a reference temperature

5310m C-surface heat mainly in the left position of the keyboard and palm rest

From the test image point of view, with outstanding power control compared to the notebook's heat control is relatively worse lot, C heating surface area focused in the left and the left hand edge of the keyboard location of care, which processor and motherboard chipset is the location. From the figure we can see that C maximum surface temperature of 42.7 degrees Celsius, the hottest average temperature has reached around 37.6 degrees, the highest point of the temperature and the ambient temperature of 17.2 degrees. Integrated image display and measured the temperature of view, the C side of this product with the maximum temperature difference between ambient temperature exceeds 10 degrees, and the maximum temperature and average temperature of more than peripheral body temperature, so the full power users will be hot under the conditions of use feeling, which the left hand care area is staggering.

D surface is not suitable for high heat makes the 5310m leg on the use

From the D side of the dismantling chart we can see, ProBook 5310m heat of the main part are concentrated in the bottom of the middle right side of the notebook, the heat from the actual shooting image map, the main hot spots in line with dismantling the display surface D situation. And C face the same, ProBook 5310m of the D surface temperature is also more general. D surface measurement of the maximum temperature of 48 degrees Celsius, the average temperature within the high temperature of 41.5 degrees, the highest point of the temperature and the ambient temperature is 22.5 degrees. We take thermal imaging and temperature scale on the graph you can see, remove the battery compartment and a small part of the surrounding temperature is lower than most of the rest are in an area of more than 38 degrees, the temperature relative to body temperature, is already enough to the user feel warm during use, so we do not recommend that users of this product use the laptop on the legs.

Compared with the excellent power control, 5310m heat control makes us feel more disappointed

Position in the vents, the highest measured temperature is 53.1 degrees Celsius. From the temperature of the test results, this notebook is relatively normal for heat control, high-intensity use in a long time user will feel uncomfortable, often need to be text, graphics, etc. dealing with business users, this product High heat will make them feel inconvenience in use.

Testing Center view - in a balanced configuration in the thin appearance of excellent business notebook

As a main light and ultra-long battery life and performance of both the notebook computer, this high-performance ProBook 5310m ProBook inherited the tradition, 45nm Duo SP9300 processor, a good balance of performance and power consumption, high speed large-capacity hard disk was providing excellent disk performance, not the reduced frequency of both the integrated graphics display performance and battery life, thin and light design and a balanced and efficient hardware give this product more and more serious in the homogenization notebook computer marketplace.

5310m for those that pursue the appearance and performance of the business user to select

From the test results, pushing the thin and light notebooks as the HP product, wore the "world's thinnest full-function notebook" name of the first ProBook 5310m performance in the test and not dishonored the "world first" in the name of the first. Although the pursuit of the thin body and can not provide more powerful graphics performance, but not down-the X4500 graphics card meet the needs of most business users, or more than enough. And because the use of solid-state electrolyte lithium-polymer battery efficiency, so even with those high power consumption hardware, the endurance capacity has also not been greatly affected.

5310m HP ProBook series has a strong body style

Overall appearance of this product with the performance, we believe that this product is suitable for those who have certain requirements for appearance of the product, while in the application to run day to day office software, text, applications, and entertainment-oriented users, while this product is quite suitable for those who demand a product with higher performance, it also requires a certain degree of battery life users, nearly four and a half hours of battery life I believe you can adapt to most applications needs.
