HP ProBook 6555b Pro Reviews

The HP ProBook 6555b-WD724EA presents itself as the upper class of business mainstreamers. Equipped with all trimmings like Docking-Port, a matte display, HSDPA module or the excellent keyboard, the first impression remains undiluted. The AMD platform even exceeds the externally identically constructed Intel Variante 6540b with an eSATA port, improved sound from the loudspeakers and a low-vibration 7.200 RPM harddrive. At a price of 840 Euro, our 6555b-WD724EA tester is a kind of entry-level model in the world of ProBooks. The WXGA panel with its small color space and the limited contrasts is certainly not to everyone's liking. There is also the AMD Phenom II X3 N830 processor, which probably can't deliver enough power for computing-intensive application. Despite the more limited performance than the Intel based 6540b (i5-430M), the 6555b has a shorter battery life (3 hours, WLAN test) and a somewhat higher current consumption

Those who don't orient their demands on display quality and processor power, but rather on the connectivity, construction and input devices, the ProBook 6555b could represent the ideal companion. But those who see themselves as power-users should invest a bit more money and switch over to the Intel camp of ProBooks.
