CNET have published their review of the HP ProBook 5310m (Core 2 Duo SP9300 2.26GHz, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Windows 7 Professional). 'The 5310m is available in three preconfigured models or you can pick and choose what you want in it. Our review sample featured a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor SP9300, 2GB of DDR3 memory, a 320GB 7,200rpm hard drive, and Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD integrated graphics for $899. This includes 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but if you want mobile broadband, it'll cost you another $100 for the adapter and will work on AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon Wireless networks (charges for service are your responsibility, too, of course). The system can also be stripped down to a $699 version running on a 1.2GHz Intel Celeron Processor SU2300, which according to HP gets you about 30 minutes extra of battery life (considering the performance difference between the two processors, the cash savings and extra time don't seem worth it).'
