HP EliteBook is a line of business-oriented laptop computers originally produced by Hewlett-Packard and later by its successor, HP Inc.,[1] marketed as a high-end line positioned above the ProBook series.[2] The line was introduced in August 2008[3][4] 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.

Features

The HP EliteBook line is engineered to meet military MIL-STD-810 standards for reliability and performance under extreme conditions,[5] 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).[5] Earlier EliteBook models featured the HP Night Light keyboard light,[6] while in subsequent generations HP has added a backlit keyboard option to some 15" and 17" workstation models.[7] Select models have SSD storage options.

Models

[edit]

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.

Zeroth generation

[edit]
EliteBook 8530p

The xx30 generation comprised the following notebooks:

  • 2530p: 12.1" professional ultraportable
  • 2730p: 12.1" professional tablet PC
  • 6930p: 14.1" professional laptop
  • 8530p: 15.4" professional laptop
  • 8530w: 15.4" mobile workstation
  • 8730w: 17.0" mobile workstation

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.[5][9][53]

The xx40 series comprised the following models:

  • 2540p: 12.1" professional ultraportable
  • 2740p: 12.1" professional tablet PC
  • 8440p: 14.0" professional laptop

  • 8540p: 15.6" professional laptop
  • 8540w: 15.6" mobile workstation
  • 8740w: 17.0" mobile workstation

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.

Models with quad-core CPUs supported up to 32 GB of RAM. Workstation models could be configured with ISV-certified professional graphics cards such as the ATI Mobility FirePro M7820 or the Nvidia Quadro FX 5000M that at the time of release it was the most powerful workstation-class graphics card on the market.[60]

  • 8760w: 17.3" mobile workstation

The xx60 series featured second-generation Intel Core i series processors, a choice of Sandy Bridge integrated or AMD Radeon HD 6470M discrete graphics, and chiclet-style keyboards. All models except the 2760p used 16:9 displays. Mobile workstation models featured Nvidia Quadro or AMD FirePro graphics.[68] The notebooks were also completely redesigned, with a more boxy shape and less plastic used on the surfaces, as well as a larger glass touchpad. The multiple access panels on the bottom of the notebooks were replaced with a single panel enabling access to all of the internal components.

The 8460p model was claimed to have battery life in excess of 32 hours[69] using an external ultra-capacity battery.
