HP EliteBook 2530p

At first sight, the new HP EliteBook 2530p really stands out. This notebook pc has a silvery matte finish that is created by brushed aluminum shell that encases the computer and provides a scratch resistant exterior and sturdy protection for the pc. The exterior, which HP refers to as its DuraCase, is assembled of a magnesium commingle and hard plastic mix with an outer surrounding of brushed aluminum.

The Durafinish can also be found on the touchpad and helps to prevent the weathered look that can be created over time due to the oils found on your fingertip.

The night light is a great addition to the 2530p many features and allows the user a dim light that is perfect for viewing the keyboard in low light conditions without disturbing the person next to you. The road warrior will appreciate the many options for connecting to the internet that are available on the EliteBook.

My favorite feature of this laptop is the battery life that you get from the 6 cell lithium ion battery. Running several programs and listening to music, I was able to get almost 6 hours of computer time before it shut down, and I wasn't even using a power saving Vista profile. There are options for larger and smaller batteries depending on whether weight or longevity are more important factors in your purchase.

Since it is important to also understand some cons for portable computers, you will want to make sure that the smaller keyboard will comfortably fit your hands. Also, this laptops thin and light design adds to a hefty price tag. If you are considering this computer, make sure to shop around online for the best prices.

If unusual portability, sturdiness, and long battery charge lifespan are critical to you, the EliteBook 2530p makes the final choice. Bottom line, if you are looking out for a business-grade 12-inch notebook then the HP EliteBook 2530p belongs at the apex of your list.

Make no mistake, this computer is not meant to be a laptop that is economy priced for the masses. The EliteBook 2530p is a machine for the business person or active student that needs power and portability. If this is the kind of computer that you need, then searching for the current auctions on EBay will allow you to get the most affordable pricing for this ultraportable laptop.
