When last we met the HP laptop posse, I was bemused by the design ingenuity sunk into the bargain bin models, with the consumer fleet left chintzy. HP’s business-minded EliteBook refresh is similarly confounding. Why do suits get the beauty?
A top-notch 17-inch EliteBook 8740w is swinging its way from HP to store shelves with a 1920 x 1080 DreamColor LED-backlit screen, your choice of Core i5 or i7 processors and up to 16GB of RAM. Schuuuweeet.
The HP EliteBook 6930p is a nice enough laptop when configured with an LED 14.1-inch screen and SSD. But it’s got one big claim to fame if you’re willing to fork over the cash for these extras. When bundled with an optional high capacity battery, the runtime reaches 24 hours, or one complete day of use. That’s six hours longer than the latest Dell competitor, even though the base configured 1kg Dell is a lot lighter than this 2.1kg machine from HP. (Both surely weigh in the triple digits come big battery time.) Now just imagine if we actually had some decent battery technology. Oh, the places we could go!
HP is smartly following up the rugged EliteBook biz laptop we doted on a couple months ago with an even more portable version: 12 inches, just over 1.3kg, still Mil-Spec 810F against dust and hot zones. It uses Intel’s latest Core 2 Duo ULV (same as X301 and probably MacBook Air refresh), and it’s well, loaded. One of our favourite things about it is that it’s got more storage options than any other notebook that size. galleryPost('elitebook2530p', 3, '');
HP’s EliteBook 2730p is the tablet of the new business lineup, and it’s actually ruggedised as well, meeting the MIL-STD 810F spec for dust, altitude and high temperature. Specs and features are mostly the same as the other EliteBooks too (Intel Core 2 Duo ULV, SSD option, HP business and security stuff like the biz card reader, encryption and DriveGuard). Except you know, it’s a tablet, with options for a standard LED-backlit screen or Outdoor View and a jog dial.
