HP is well known for making stylish consumer notebooks, but today HP decided it was about time that business notebooks started looking cool too. HP today announced the new “ProBook” brand of affordable business notebook PCs that combine business features from the EliteBook series with “sophisticated design to stand out from the crowd.”

Unlike the award-winning HP EliteBook series, the new HP ProBook series offers a fresh approach to business notebook style. The minimalistic design of the new HP ProBook series combines matte and glossy surfaces for a clean look without the flare of HP’s consumer-oriented Pavilion line.
The ProBook series comes in your choice of “merlot” or “glossy noir” finishes, a unique keyboard design and a set of professional innovations previously found only on higher-priced EliteBook models. In short, the HP ProBook series delivers much of the quality, business features, and functionality of the EliteBook series … but with eye-pleasing style and budget-pleasing prices.
Notebook availability varies by region, but the ProBook 4510s ($529) and ProBook 4710s ($899) are already available on the HP website. The merlot color option is available only on 14-inch and 15.6-inch models and all models are expected to be available in June.
