Modem Device On Hd Audio Bus

Review: HP ProBook 4530s Notebook PC

The touchpad has gesture support and a tiny LED located in the top left hand corner indicating whether it is active or not.

Gesture support allows users, for example, to zoom in and out when working with Office documents, for example, rather than having to change the zoom level through the user interface.

However, zooming into and out of such documents was not as smooth as with some Android tablets (the Asus Eee Pad Transformer , for example) we recently reviewed. The display is a standard LED-backlit model, giving good viewing from all but the most acute angles. The web camera allows users to record 720p high definition (HD) video, and audio can be heard from a perforated grill just above the keyboard running nearly the entire width of the laptop.

To supplement the HD video capability, the 4530s also has dual-array microphones.
