HP EliteBook 8440w
$1,300.00
Released February, 2010
The Pros:Affordable base price. Powerful components - Core i5/i7, ample DDR3 memory and drive capacity (7200rpm), discrete graphics. Slick business-class aesthetic, anodized aluminum lid and wristpads.
The Cons:Still quite heavy at 5.6 pounds with a 9-cell battery (5.4 ponds with the lighter 6-cell). Small touchpad. Runs hot (due to it containing very powerful components in a rather small enclosure).
