Review of HP ProBook 4545s 15.6" Inch Notebook PC, AMD Dual-Core A6-4400M

Customer Ratings:

Purchased this 4545s ProBook at TigerDirect, $500, using Amazon for their gurarantee's 12/25/12.

Bought because: value for the money, non-gloss screen, both Windows 7 pro and Windows 8 operating systems included.

Works well.

Spent some time uninstalling the not needed "extras" HP supplied. Going to have to talk with Microsoft about product key because there is no COA on this machine.

One irritating point: touchpad was a bit centered for tapping. You have to tap more toward the center of the pad than other laptops. I "fixed" this by uninstalling the HP touchpad software. It becomes "normal". If you want the two finger stuff, go over to Synaptics and get the latest download.

Will report back when/if there is anything more to report.

Great laptop and Tigerdirect is a great company. They are responsive if there is an issue and want you to get your product and this product is great. Fast loading, good screen resolution. Not sure about the camera yet as I haven't tried it. The touchpad isn't that great though. Get a mouse. That is my only complaint though. Everything else is great though

Shocked that I ordered this laptop from TigerDirect on Wednesday afternoon and my kids were setting it up on Thursday afternoon! Less then 24 hr from ordering to delivery. That is what I call lightning fast delivery.

Purchased it for my Freshmen College student. She is thrilled, as are the rest of the family. The only problem is it Doesn't seem to Come Pre Loaded with Office 2010 as described. So now I must spend additional money that I wasnt prepared to spend.

Aside from that. The silver finish is sharp. The audio is OK. I Was looking for anti Glare & this display is excellent IMO. We have owned several Laptops but this is our 1st HP. So far the kids have played DVD's, CD's, downloaded their favorite music and Skyped. Everything working perfectly. The Camera was awesome.

Only have it up and running for a little over a day but so far no complaints. At a sub $500 purchase price. This seems to be an excellent choice for my New College student. Just wish it came with Office 2010 as described.

EDITED REVIEW 08/10/13. Well after being so excited over this laptop. The bottom dropped out. Hard drive crashed within a week. Went thru the drill with HP tech only to be told to send it back to where I purchased it. Tigerdirect was terrific during the return process.

I decide to re-purchase the same computer. Two cant be bad! No not two in a row. 2nd laptop arrived lightning fast. Turned on the computer and it seemed to respond perfectly. Unfortunately over the next day or so. All the same problems began to arise.

The DVD slot had 2 be forced open. It took longer and longer 2 boot up.(up to several minutes) None of the USB ports were recognized. The speed of the computer slowed to a snails pace. Over and over it Constantly loaded upgrades. Something went wrong every time we booted it up. Spent another hr with HP tech going thru the drills. Guess what? Same thing! Hard Drive NG. The HP tech told me 2 send it back 2 the store.

Sent 2nd unit back. Again Tigerdirect.com was terrific but Im finished with this HP 4545s ProBook. Price was right. Specs were right. Didnt work. So disappointed.

I love this computer. It has so many little extras such as a fingerprint log in. So cool. I have had no problems with it at all. It runs fast and the fan is not loud at all like on my other lap top. Shipping was fast. I am very happy with this purchase.

Not being a technologically advanced person, I knew I wanted to snatch up a Windows 7 before it is too late. But, I thought I also might want update this computer to Windows 8 at a later date. This computer offered both and I thought that would be a nice option. I will never load Windows 8 on this computer. I now know you have to have a touch screen to make Windows 8 user-friendly. This computer does not have that. This is a large computer in my opinion. It has a large screen and keyboard and is pretty heavy. I am not going to carry this computer, so I like that it is pretty substantial. I love typing on the keyboard.
