Functionality VS AND Design

Now, when we all are tired from similar and plain-looking laptop designs, we can finally see more and more “fresh” solutions offered by different brands at reasonable prices. Beauty is not any more a prerogative of those who can pay thousands of dollars per device. Today, HP has shown their new S-series ProBooks, not only re-designed, but upgraded too.

In fact, when I first came across the new HP ProBook photos, I was about to think it has a wooden finish, it really looks like that with its brushed aluminum in “caviar” brown color. Actually, the new finish looks really great on the straight rectangle shape of the classic ProBook. It is a piece of elegance, which serves not only as a tool, but also as a design element for your home or office.

Your new HP Pro Book can be smaller or larger, as the display size can be chosen from 13,3 inches, up to 17,3 inches, with Core i3/i5/i7 CPU. Besides these you are also offered to choose from some other options, like 2MP camera, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4350 discrete graphics and a 9-cell battery (10 hours of work).

Though some argue laptops are meant to be functional, rather than have nice designs, HP ProBook has proven that combining  both of these is what the manufacturers should be aiming towards.
