Summary: HP produce a set of unspectacular but relatively solid pair of laptops again, but face overwhelming competition from newer and more powerful i3 based machines.
Best of: Attractive if functional design, matte screen as standard, solidly built, 4525 has eSATA.
Worst of: Design can also be a touch angular and cold, not out of the ordinary, underpowered 3D graphics, pales in the face of their peers, 32-bit Windows 7 with 64-bit CPUs.

I'm in two minds about the design on these devices. In essence, they are slightly different forks of the same path - both have a very square and industrial type feel about them, there's no friendly attractive though, in the same way Bauhaus modernism is admired, if not liked, the laptops are still well designed in their own cold way.

The better of the two is certainly the most expensive of the two, the ProBook 4525. Its cold lines are cut from brushed, smooth metal that's been coloured black, giving the machine an upmarket, executive look, albeit one of the late 1970s. This feel is further amplified by the speaker grille area around the power button, a texture that reminded me of the foil inlay of a cigarette packet (weird I know) and one I feel will gather debris underneath quite quickly. The power button itself also looks 'borrowed' from a Mac G5 tower, proving the Envy line isn't the only line of HP laptops to have an overtly fruity influence. One winning area is definitely the 4525's keyboard. It's related to the chiclet style but with the edges rounded off, therefore appearing less friendly but no less easier to use. The keys are well spaced and, to my fingers, even have a tiny concave. The travel is good and there is very little flex. While it may not click like a desktop keyboard, it is one of the better keyboards on a laptop presently, and one of the few that is spill resistant. I'd have like to have tried that out but I think Matt would have been unimpressed with a bill from HP for wilful damage. However, the work of the good keyboard is somewhat ruined by the trackpad. While it's got the same nice, brushed feel to it, it again takes another Apple idea (the Magic Trackpad) that doesn't quite work here. Whether OSX is better set up for this kind of HID or maybe when you use Windows you expect buttons, but I couldn't get used to having the pad buttons as part of the pad itself. It took some getting used to and even the multitouch gestures never felt as confident or as fluid as they would with a Macbook. Here I certainly wished that HP hadn't gone for show but gone for tried and tested.

Summary: overall a good product with some minor problems
