    Anyone with a Probook 6360b or similar?

    I'm in the process of buying a laptop for college, and as of now I have it narrowed down to a Thinkpad X220, Sony SB, or the HP Probook 6360b.

    I can find plenty of information on the TP and SB, but there is hardly anything out about the 6360b.

    Does anyone have one? If so, could you give a quick review or maybe some more pictures of it? The main thing I'm concerned about is battery life, so if battery life isn't great that's a deal breaker for me.

    Thanks!

    There's a couple of youtube reviews of it: YouTube - ‪6360B‬‏ . Main thing I recall was the reviewer saying it was a thick unit.

    As for battery life, just identify what the Whr capacity of the batteries are. You'd want 60Whr+ for 6-cell and 90Whr+ for 9-cell to get battery life as good as the battery life leaders on the market. The internals of these systems are pretty much identical architecture to other business grade notebooks using only the HD3000 iGPU.
