HP ProBook 4430s (XU012UT#ABA) Notebook Intel Core i3 2310M(2.10GHz) 14" 4GB Memory DDR3 1333 320GB HDD 7200rpm DVD Super Multi Intel HD Graphics 3000

As a Windows 7 machine, it's ok. Light enough for my needs, portable, and I love the metal finish

Advertised as USB3, but mine is not. HP confirmed some were shipped with, some without ; Avoid if USB3 is important to you
