HP EliteBook

HP EliteBook is a line of business-oriented laptop computers originally produced by Hewlett-Packard and later by its successor, HP Inc., marketed as a high-end line positioned above the ProBook series. The line was introduced in August 2008 as a replacement to the HP Compaq line of business laptops, and initially included mobile workstations until September 2013, when they were rebranded as HP ZBook. The EliteBook mainly competes against laptop computers such as Acer's Extensa and TravelMate, Asus's ExpertBook, Dell's Latitude and Vostro, Fujitsu's LifeBook, Lenovo's ThinkPad and ThinkBook and Toshiba's Portégé and Tecra.

The HP EliteBook line is engineered to meet military MIL-STD-810 standards for reliability and performance under extreme conditions, namely for temperature, altitude, humidity, dust, shock and vibration. The notebooks feature a magnesium alloy chassis, anodized aluminum lid and palm rests, spill-resistant keyboards, active hard-drive protection and dual pointing devices (touchpad and pointing stick). Earlier EliteBook models featured the HP Night Light keyboard light, while in subsequent generations HP has added a backlit keyboard option to some 15" and 17" workstation models. Select models have SSD storage options.

Announcements:

The Core 2-based EliteBook series was the xx30 series. Before that, HP Compaq p- and w-class (professional and workstation, respectively) notebooks were not branded as EliteBooks, nor did they have the EliteBooks' distinctive anodized aluminum styling.

The xx30 generation comprised the following notebooks:

All models used Core 2 CPUs and 16:10 aspect ratio displays. The 6930p model was notable for being claimed by HP to be the first notebook to break the 24-hour battery life barrier.

The xx40 series comprised the following models:

The xx40 series brought several changes and new features, including upgrading to the new Intel Core i5 and Core i7 processors and DDR3 SDRAM, new semi-chiclet keyboard and for the 14.0" and 15.6" models the switch from 16:10 to 16:9 displays. HP also added DisplayPort and USB 3.0 ports. Appearance-wise, the workstation models were changed to a darker "gunmetal" finish while the non-workstation models retained the brighter "silver" finish.
