In combination with the preinstalled tool HP Client Security, you can realize system access via fingerprint scan and HP's File Sanitizer enables safe deletion of files. Besides a Trusted Platform Module 1.2 there is a fingerprint reader as well. The ProBook is primarily designed for business users, so there are also several security features. The notebook is already prepared for such a module: SIM card tray and antennas are already integrated. You can also equip the ProBook with a 3G/LTE modem if you need Internet on the road, but our review unit did not have the required module. The webcam takes noisy pictures with a resolution of up to 1280x720 pixels. The Gigabit Ethernet chip is from Intel (I217-V) and there is also a Bluetooth 4.0 module. Windows always showed the maximum number of bars, even with a distance of 15 meters (~49 feet) from the router. The WLAN module of the ProBook is provided by Broadcom (BCM43228) and supports the WLAN standards 802.11 a/b/g/n. It is possible to open the lid with one hand. The hinges do a good job and keep the display in position, but there is still some bouncing. We can bend the whole cover including the display and we can see picture distortions. It is very easy to twist it and it is susceptible to pressure from the back. All in all, still a good result, but that cannot be said about the display cover. The torsion resistance is also okay, however, a notebook that was designed for the road should be a tad stiffer. It is very sturdy and there is hardly any reaction to pressure. We cannot criticize the stability and build quality of the base unit. The top of the display cover is also rubberized and reminds us of ThinkPads. The top of the base unit is silver-anthracite while all the other parts are black. The design of the ProBook is quite appealing HP uses a simple and business-oriented design without any curlicues. Dell on the other hand uses metal elements for the Latitude. The ProBook is completely made of plastic and the same applies for the ThinkPad.
