    Hey guys so I have been kind of looking around HP laptops, and I am quite impressed with the design and the overall build quality.

    I have been packing Dells all the time, but I hate their latest designs and it's time to jump ship.

    My favorite HP design is the HP 5330M, being "thin enough" and very very edge, which is what I want. (Even edgy corners, not as roundy as previous Envys)

    I am looking for Sandy Bridge+ model, but what I could find was limited to the current models. Could any of you guys recommend anything that looks as close as the Probook 5330M? A few latest models out there for the mainstream Pro & Elite book look slim on the side, but in reality is very very thick. Was looking for something slimmer like the 5330M that packs non ultrabook hardware.

    Thank you very much in advance!

    I'd only consider elitebooks as being the most robust machines with good warranty support. Anything else is a hit and miss, especially in the consumer grade section.
