Overall, the keyboard is aesthetically very clean and follows the minimalistic feel of the notebook very well. Asus 70-NLF1B2000Z

The touchpad (8.5cm by 4.0cm) on the 5330m is wide,Asus 70NLF1B2000Y 70NLF1B2000Z but could have been larger in length for more room. It does, however, support multi-finger gestures with the Synaptics LuxPad V7.5 software, so actions such as pinch-to-zoom and image rotation are possible. Unlike the ProBook 4530s, the touchpad here supports finger scrolling on the right hand edge. The pad has a smooth plastic feel, but is otherwise responsive and leaves a positive impression.Asus 90-NLF1B2000Y

The two keys below the touchpad have a slight and contrasting rubbery texture, but are still quiet nonetheless. While good, they do not offer a satisfying tactile feedback, especially compared to the louder but more firm touchpad keys of the Lenovo X121e.Asus 90-NLF1B2000Z 90-NLF1BZ000Y

The HP 5330m uses a 13.3-inch antiglare matte display with a native resolution of 1366x768 pixels. This resolution is common for laptops of this size, although competing notebooks might offer the larger 1440x900 resolution at a 16:10 ratio instead. Based on first impressions, the screen could have been a little sharper, but gets the job done.Asus 90-NLF1BZ000Z

With the X-Rite i1Display 2, a respectable maximum screen brightness of 208.8 nits was recorded on the center of the screen, although the distribution and contrast were quite poor all around. When unplugged, the maximum brightness dipped even lower.Asus 90-NVD1B1000Y 90NLF1B2000Y

As expected, the color space produced by the 5330m is limited, covering only about 60 percent of the sRGB standard. Compared to the recently released 14-inch ProBook 4430s, the 5330m is on par in terms of color representation, but both are no match for the 15.6-inch ProBook 6560b. Professional graphic artists or heavy Photoshop users should best stay away from the 5330m as a primary notebook.Asus 90NLF1B2000Z

A bright cloudy day obscures the screenOutdoor use was more difficult than it should have been because of the low brightness levels. Screen glare was not a problem, but expect to ramp up the brightness of the 5330m to its highest if using the notebook outdoors.Asus 90NLF1BZ000Y 90NLF1BZ000Z

Viewing angle stability is notebook-typical for a TN panel. Horizontal viewing angles are tolerable, but colors begin shifting almost immediately if viewing at vertical angles from below. The limitation should be fine for a single user, but the notebook isn’t recommended for movies with multiple viewers. Asus A32-F52

An Intel Sandy Bridge Core i5-2520M running at 2.5GHz powers the 5330m. This dual-core processor is reasonably fast with 3MB L3 cache and support for up to 4 threads. Turbo Boost can automatically increase clock speeds temporarily up to 3.2GHz for a single core or 3.0GHz for both cores.Asus A32-F82 L0690L6

As is common for laptops with second generation Core ix CPUs,Asus L0A2016 the 5330m is equipped with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU. This particular graphics accelerator maxes out at 650MHz, but Turbo Boost can temporarily bring it up to twice that at 1300MHz. Unfortunately, DirectX is supported only up to 10.1 as opposed to the Fusion APUs from AMD, which support DirectX 11. The integrated Intel graphics will borrow from the system RAM as needed.Asus 15G10N373800

Speaking of system RAM, the 5330m in review is equipped with a single 4GB DDR3 1333MHz module from Micron, but is expandable up to 8GB. To access the RAM, the user must remove the battery cover underneath the notebook first and then proceed to loosen the three screws to expose the hardware.ASUS Eee PC T91 battery

In the CPU-oriented benchmarks,Asus ASUS Eee PC T91 S101 battery the Core i5-2520M performs very well. Its score of 2349 points in PCMark 7 distinctly outperforms the 13.3-inch Acer Aspire 3830TG (2.3GHz Core i5-2410M) and 14-inch HP ProBook 4430s (2.1GHz Core i3-2310M), which received 1675 and 1995 points, respectively, in the same test. The HP 5330m also scales quite nicely in CineBench R10 tests and the results are in line with the first generation quad-core Core i7-720QM CPU found in the Samsung RF710.Asus Eee PC T91 Tablet ASUS Eee PC T91MT battery

When taking into account the integrated GPU, however, the HP notebook cannot compete with the latest discrete entry-level GPUs. For example, The Samsung QX412 includes the same CPU but achieves 2264 points in 3DMark Vantage with its entry-level GeForce GT 520M, while the HP in review scored lower at 1755 points.Asus ASUS Eee PC T91SA battery

The 5330m notebook isn’t for gamers of course, but it is still greatly improved over the previous generation Intel GMA HD. With that in mind, the notebook should be more than capable for HD video playback, Flash content and extra-light gaming. See here for a review of the Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU.ASUS W90V battery

Close-up of HDDThe reviewed model is equipped with a SATA II 500GB Hitachi HTS725050A9A364 7200RPM HDD,ASUS W90VN battery although a 128GB SSD and a 320GB SED (self-encrypting drive) HDD are available options as well. Of the maximum capacity, about 13GB is reserved for the HP_Recovery partition and an extra 5GB for HP_Tools. With HP ProtectTools, the entire drive can be encrypted for security purposes or erased multiple times with the HDD Shredder option if needed. ASUS W90VP battery

This Hitachi drive showed an average transfer rate of 82.4MB/sec on HDTune, which is markedly faster than the 7200RPM Seagate in the ProBook 5310m, the 7200RPM Western Digital in the Vaio VPC-SB1Z9EB and the 5400RPM Hitachi in the Samsung QX412. ASUS W90vp-a1 battery

The built-in HD webcam is capable of recording up to 720p (1280x720 pixels), but sacrifices the smoother frame rates and lower latencies that the smaller resolutions benefit from. It does, however, support HP Facial Recognition for logging on to Windows if enabled.ASUS W90vp-a2 battery
