HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8530w

Advantages: feels really sturdy.
Disadvantages: the steel may look good but picks up prints way too easily

...The new elite books from HP offer a real power house of a computer in a fairly portable casing. The laptop itself comes in a steel case, this not only makes it look good but also makes it feel really sturdy to hold and really robust. One downside to this is that it does show up fingerprints really easily and you do find your self having to clean it quite often if you don’t want it to look a bit messy. The screen size of this laptop is 15.4 inch, which is the average size of a laptop. This is about the size you would want if your just using a laptop for internet browsing, doing work on and playing those occasional games and videos. However if you like to watch a lot of videos on your laptop you might wish you’d bought a laptop with a 17 inch or bigger screen as this may be just too small for you. However video quality o...

Review of HP EliteBook Mobile Workstation 8530w

The really elite, elitebook..

Advantages: very portable
Disadvantages: more expensive, slower

...This is another fantastic notebook from Hp. it?s the HP EliteBook 2730p. One of their most portable and also best spec laptops out at the moment, and perhaps that?s why its so expensive at around £1400. The laptop is very good, and modern looking. Its encased in a steel shell, with the colour of aluminium. Its got a kind of nice rounded curve shaped sides and the screen is detached from the body apart from the hinges in the middle, this gives it a kind of futuristic look which I like about it. The laptop offers a fantastic 2 GB of ram, which means this laptop does run really fast. However don?t expect it to be running quite as fast as less portable laptops as because its small, they have had to save on the processor only offering a Intel Core 2 Duo SL9400 with speeds of 1.86 Ghz. Which in this day of age, isn?t really that good...

Review of HP EliteBook 2730p

Elitebook 6930p truly is Elite!

Advantages: Compact, Loads of cool extra bits, slick design, great battery life
Disadvantages: Heavy, A bit slow, poor graphics chip

...Hi there, I'm gonna jump straight in and tell you all I can about this laptop. First off the size: Small, compact and slick. I have no problems getting this into my back pack let alone my laptop case. Honestly I could just carry this around under my arm really without any trouble. The 6930p is small than a news paper and about 5cm longer & wider than an A4 sheet of paper. Weight: The HP is not very light really. In my opinion it's quite heavy for a device of this size. I reckon it?s about 2 and a half Kg. You might say that's not very heavy, but considering the size of the laptop, I think it is quite deceptive. The body of this laptop is made from brushed metal, which I personally really like. I'm not a particular fan of shiny plastics as they tend to love attracting fingerprints. You won't have that problem with this...
