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...

Mobile Workstation, new thinking

Advantages: Good processing speed with some advanced features
Disadvantages: DDR2 RAM with only 667 MHz speed

...Mobile Workstation ************************** Basic Idea HP is a well known name in consumer electronics, especially in computers and printers. Workstations from HP are most popular due to most advanced features and time to time updates. Some of workstations are really rocking with ultimate processing speed and advanced features. Workstations are generally considered as highly configured desktop PCs, but the tradition has been changed now. People wants a good workstation but they also want to carry it while traveling. I also think that, these should be a good workstation PC but it should be like notebook kind so that I can carry it with me. HP has its solution and they really caught the inner thinking of consumers. After rocking success of desktop workstations PC, HP has now decided to enter in mobile workstation market. If...

Review of HP Workstation Xw8400

A great workstation

Advantages: Great Build Quality
Disadvantages: none

...Pretty good machine - we use it for graphics work and it handles everything well. Plenty of expansion space for additional drives. quality build with excellent case. Hard to fault it really. we added a high end graphic card ( at £350) and it became a dream machine. Renders video and Adobe Dreanweaver, Photoshop and Illustrator with ease. My colleague swears by it and not at it. Wish I could say the same about my Dell laptop. There are some other good workstations out there but I would stick with HP. The workstation quality that was so apparent with the Compaq brand has not disappeared with the HP takeover. This machine will run and run - expect no less that 3 years usable life from this. When it eventually does give out don't throw away the case. It's almost worth the purchase price itself:o)...

Review of HP Workstation Xw4600

its not a laptop, its a machine!

Advantages: very fast, yet very sleek
Disadvantages: price tag

...still be up to date for quite a while to come. Its storage is also a very fair 200gb. This doesn't need to much talking about but in terms of memory this really is a lot and unless you were storing millions of music tracks and videos on there then you don't really need to worry too much about filling this. This is called the mobile workstation for two reasons. The first is that it runs so fast that it can be compared to the non mobile workstations. The second is that it's a little bit bigger than most laptops. It has a 17 inch screen, great for doing work, playing games on and just anything else you might want to do with it. It also has active matrix technology. This is something being used by more and more laptop manufacturers to date, and its amazing results. Its makes the screen lighter, meaning the laptops lighter, its makes...

A GREAT TOOL FOR BUSINESS

Advantages: Very fast, reliable, does the job it's made for
Disadvantages: Outer casing on the TFT panel could be stronger.

...at the business market, and to the end it does perform rather well. The combination of the very fast 2.33Ghz Core two Duo processor and the 2Gb of RAM installed as standard makes this a very amicable work tool. For every day MS Office applications the machine performs very well and remains stable. I tend to have several office and other business applications open at the same time, including Autocad. To date no matter what demands I place on the machine, it copes extremely well with no signs of lagging or worse freezing. Display.... The 17" TFT panel is very clear and a pleasure to work with. I have used laptops in the past where the display has a somewhat washed out appearance. The HP display in contrast remains nice and bright and produces a very sharp image. A big benefit I have noticed with the display compared to my old laptop is...

Review of HP Compaq Mobile Workstation nw9440

HP Ipaq - a mixed bag.

Advantages: Battery life quite good, well built
Disadvantages: small screen, poor phone reception

...Background: The company I work for distributes my jobs to the field via a PDA phone. This system was introduced last February when we started out using the disastrously poor quality O2 XDA IIi pda phone, which suffers badly from poor battery life and an overwhelming aptitude to crash several times a day. In an attempt to improve the situation the company is trialling a couple of new handsets, one of which is the HP IPaq. It arrived on Friday so I charged it up to put it through its paces. I was a bit disappointed in the screen size, it is about two thirds of the size of the XDA and it is hard enough to work on that one. The overall feel of the PDA is good, it feels solid but I can't yet tell you how it responds to being bounced off the floor. The Wireless function works well enough but it was a let down to...
