Review HP EliteBook 8470w Notebook

 

Workstation lite. HP expands its mobile workstation range with a 14-inch alternative and rounds off its product portfolio. We extensively examined whether this is really a competitive, small-sized workhorse or whether we will only discover a hidden...

Good system performance ; Good mobility qualities ; Very good casing, material and build quality ; Very good keyboard ; Very good connectivity and expansion options ; Cool case

Screen mostly only average quality and covered with a fine, annoying grid ; Virtually useless keyboard lamp ; Loud hard disk ; Cramped arrow keys

That HP does not exploit the advantages that an additionally enabled Intel HD graphics offer in this model either

Nice little laptop. A little on the heavy side and I hate Chiclet keyboards but it seems everyone is going that way.

Good machine, for a home system. I have a feeling that these should be able to last awhile without any hardware problems.

That woudl actually be a four core processor. i7 doesn't even come in oct. Good machine, but for home users. More of an awesome media and gaming rig than for business use.

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.

This computer is a beast. 8 core processor, 16GB RAM, 2TB hard drive. Excellent graphics card. My only issue that I have with this computer, is that the fan kicks on a lot and is very noisy. Going to look at the BIOS and see if I can turn it down.

Core i7-2600 3.4 GHz, 16GB RAM, 160GB SSD, Win7 64 bit. Paid about $1,800. Loads every program in about 1 second. Outlook maybe 5 seconds. Running multiple VMs for website development no sweat. I love it.

Love the 6 cores. Lots of RAM. Great performance. So far these have been really good machines for our developers.
