HP ProBook 5310m
$2,299, from authorised dealers

CHARGE this notebook for 90 minutes and you will get 90 per cent of the battery's power, which can last up to eight hours.

The 5310m is less than 24mm thick, weighs as little as 1.72kg and is built to last.

The body combines a light but strong magnesium frame with black anodised aluminium.

Even the keys on the keyboard have an extra coating to make them more resistant to wear.

The 13.3-inch 16:9 LED-backlit display has an anti-glare finish so that contrast and clarity are improved.
