HP EliteBook 8560w
Latest HP mobile workstation , the HP EliteBook 8560w ( $ 1579 direct ) , confirming that there is simply no substitute for a full featured laptop workstation . Plenty of professionals can be obtained by using a standard business laptop , but engineers , architects and digital artists quickly find run- of - the- mill just does not cut it . Sometimes you need a more efficient , more powerful tools . The HP EliteBook 8560w is filled to the gills with powerful components such as a quad- core processor , ISV - certified graphics , and all you need to keep a safe and secure system , and it takes the top spot mobile workstation as our new Editors ' choice .
The HP EliteBook 8560w DuraCase May , a sturdy aluminum skin that covers a magnesium alloy chassis , and features a stain - resistant finish . The chiseled good looks of gunmetal gray belie the fact that this system is built tough , meeting standards of MIL - STD 810G for shock , vibration, temperature , and altitude - only laptop with more evidence is quite rough systems such as Dell Latitude E6420 XFR ( $ 5,612 direct , 3.5 stars ) . The EliteBook 8560w is spill - resistant as well , complete with a drain in the bottom of the chassis to remove any potentially damaging liquids .
The laptop measures 1.5 by 15 by 10.2 inches ( HWD ) and weighs 7.1 pounds - significantly more dense and heavier than a top - of - the- line consumer laptop like the Apple MacBook Pro 15 - inch ( late refresh 2,011 ) ( $ 1,799 direct , 4 stars ) , which weighs only 5.2 pounds and is 0.94 inches thick . Compared to other mobile workstation , however , it is a featherweight - the Editors ' Choice Lenovo ThinkPad W700 ( $ 4,240 direct , 4.5 stars ) tipped the scales at £ 9.
The lid is covered in aluminum , with a hairline brushed finish radiating out in concentric circles from the blue - white glowing HP logo in the center of the lid . The lid is attached with a strong metal hinge that runs form the majority of the length of the laptop . Hinge holds the screen stark , with little to no flexing even pressure is put on the lid. Just above the screen , HP includes a 720p webcam . The 15.6 - inch widescreen display is no lark either , with 1,920 -by - 1 , 080 resolution , LED backlighting , and a matte finish . The backlighting can be just a bit brighter, but it still offered vibrant colors , deep blacks , and crisp details . Discharge includes SRS Premium Sound is passable audio , but when I turned on the speaker to enjoy some Jimi Hendrix , thinned out the sound with high volume .
The EliteBook 8560w has a full - sized keyboard , with black tile keys and a full numeric pad . The whole thing is backlit , with bright white LEDs and minimal light leakage. In the middle of the keyboard is a bright orange pointing stick , similar to that seen in the Lenovo W700 , but with a bumpy surface concave instead of a textured , rounded lobe . Made of a harder rubber , stick tended to be rather stiff and did not adequately my fingertip grip during use , making it one of the few details that fell flat . The touchpad , on the other hand , is a pleasure to use . The glass - surfaced touchpad is 4.25 inches wide . There are three buttons ( right , left and center a button to scroll ) , with a range below and above the touchpad to use the pointing stick.
