HP ProBook 6545b
HP
Among HP's landslide of Windows 7 PCs announced today are two biz-centric laptops that are a dream for clumsy typists. The HP ProBook 6445 and 6545 have all the unremarkable specs you'd expect in an affordable IT-department-friendly notebook, with one exception: a spill-resistant keyboard.
HP ProBook 6445b Drain:
Aside from the keyboard, both machines are sturdy and relatively light. Both bodies weigh the same 6.9 pounds and are made of durable magnesium alloy.
As far as specs: Both machines run AMD processors with ATI Mobility Radeon graphics. You can opt for up to 8GB of RAM, hard drives up to 500GB (128 if you want a solid-state drive), Blu-ray drives and 2-megapixel webcams.
Both available in November, the 14-inch 6445b and 15-inch 6545b will start around $800.
