HP customers get improved performance on popular applications with the updated AMD multicore processors. For example, an HP notebook that employs a new AMD Phenom TM II Dual-Core N620 processor is up to 69 percent faster performance than previous generation HP AMD-powered notebooks
(5) and gets up to 24 percent longer battery life.
(6) This performance, coupled with flexible battery options, provides hours of battery use. Exceptional visual performance via UMA graphics gives users hassle-free, efficient computing.
The new HP ProBook 6450b and HP ProBook 6550b notebooks offer the latest Intel Core™ i7, i5 and i3 processors.
(4) The Core i7 and Core i5 include Intel’s turbo boost technology that optimizes and extends the CPU performance based on usage models.
A choice of Intel HD Graphics or ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 540v graphics processor delivers amazing visual performance.
Users can choose a 35.6cm (14”) (6450b) or 39.6cm (15.6”) (6550b/6555b) diagonal high-definition (HD)
(5) LED-backlit display and extensive wireless connectivity options, including HP Mobile Broadband
(1) and optional dual-pointing devices
(6) that offer greater ease of use.
Other features include multiple battery options,
(6) including compatibility with the HP 12-cell ultra-capacity battery, an eSATA/USB 2.0 combo port and optional dual hard drive support.
All of the new HP ProBook b-series feature a spill-resistant keyboard with drains. This helps protect sensitive electronics and key components from minor spills by combining a thin layer of Mylar film under the keyboard with a drain system that funnels the fluid through a hole in the bottom of the notebook.
All ProBook b-series notebooks are designed to work with the recently introduced HP 90W and HP 120W Advanced Docking Stations.
(6) The docking stations connect to notebooks in one step hot docking and eliminate the need to plug and unplug peripherals or accessories into the notebooks every time they are used.
Cost-effective performance for a secure, mobile environmentIdeal for budget-conscious mobile professionals, the new HP ProBook 4525s 39.6cm 15.6”) notebook PC features a range of configurable options and essential office and multimedia applications to assist small business professionals with everyday needs.

The HP ProBook s-series features new multimedia controls for video and comes loaded with the new ArcSoft TotalMedia Suite to allow users to play, edit and create video and audio files. They also feature ClickPad Gestures to allow for a more intuitive document navigation experience.
The b-series and s-series notebooks also include several HP Professional Innovations, including preinstalled HP Power Assistant software(7,) to allow users to more easily monitor energy usage and Central Management for HP ProtectTools,
(8) which offers remote security management, deployment, monitoring and auditing from one central location. Central Management for HP ProtectTools can be used on HP Notebooks, or other industry standard Notebooks so that IT administrators can manage all the notebooks in their environment with one easy to use software application.
HP DayStarter
(9) allows users to get a head start on the day’s activities with access to key information such as their calendar and battery status, even before the operating system boots, while
HP QuickWeb(10) allows users to access the web in seconds when the notebook is shut down. The application resides outside the notebook’s operating system, so there is no need to wait for the computer to boot up; users can simply push the dedicated button.
Full-function performance, affordability and valueWith a new industrial design featuring a stone gray microfiber pattern texture for a clean professional look, the HP 625 notebook PC is ideal for small business users looking for a versatile notebook at a smart value.
The notebook features the latest VISION Pro technology from AMD with AMD Phenom™ II, AMD Turion™ II, AMD Athlon™ II, and AMD V-series processors to deliver the right level of performance.
The HP 625 business notebook is available as 39.6cm (15.6”) diagonal display in a choice of HD LED-backlit or LED-backlit BrightView HD displays.
An optional integrated 2-megapixel webcam and integrated microphone allow for video conferencing as well as video and still-image capture. The HDMI port provides connectivity to HD
