Robust but easily Upgraded
Everything functions as expected aside from the battery life. While a power charging cable is supplied & the laptop can be used smoothly and continuously while plugged in, running solely on battery power only lasted me around 40 minutes. The battery appears to be original & is roughly 10 years old (stamped June of 2011) but it is easily replaceable and cheap. I found an extended range compatible battery for this style of HP ProBook online for less than $20 USD which yields between 4-5 hours of life. It has a slight bulge which sticks out past the laptop's original dimensions, but original sized battery replacements exist plentifully online if you want to keep it original.
This notebook is heavy compared to what I normally use (a MacBook Air), and feels like it's roughly the weight of a dictionary. Finding a computer protection cover that can fit this notebook is difficult because of the now uncommonly large dimensions, but the exterior shell seems more durable and rigid than its contemporary equivalents.
Overall, this is a solid laptop choice if you're hunting for a dedicated computer to run Windows 7 Pro for side projects. This has many amenities/ports that newer notebooks no longer include, and it's very good for this price point.
