Business and more? About a year ago we put the predecessor model, the 8460p, to the test. The manufacturer HP now introduces the EliteBook 8470p as the successor, although it has the same old look, the internal components have been revamped. ...

HP EliteBook 8470p

Strictly speaking, the HP EliteBook 8470p ($1,499 direct) is a business-class laptop. But that classification doesn't cover all of its capabilities. The EliteBook 8470p is a versatile all-around performer armed with enough firepower to double as a...

HP EliteBook 8470p

These days, store shelves and online outlets are overflowing with super-thin ultrabooks. With so much press focused on these aesthetically pleasing portables, and business-centric models like Lenovo's ThinkPad X1 Carbon joining their consumer cousins,...

Attractive, rugged exterior ; Fairly light ; Plethora of configuration, upgrade, and connectivity options

Poor battery life with six-cell battery ; Boxy design in an ultrabook era ; No hybrid storage

Corporate customers looking for a compact, rugged laptop with good looks that's easy to upgrade should consider the EliteBook 8470p. Just note that if you want stellar battery life, you'll definitely want to splurge on an extra battery.

HP EliteBook 8470p - 14" - Core i5 3210M - Windows 7 Professional 64-bit -

These are very sweet, but decently expensive, laptops. We generally don't use them because of the extra expense. Perfect for executives or those needing perks.
