HP EliteBook 2170p review

 

Look past the old-school design of the 2170p and you'll see a business-grade machine outfitted with plenty of features to match its use case. Aside from the smart-card slot and optional fingerprint reader (with TPM hardware to match in either case),...

Don't be fooled by looks: this Ultrabook for business from HP packs plenty of speed and nice features into a retro design.

HP EliteBook 2170p review: First look

 

Hands on with HP's smallest business laptop to date. The EliteBook 2170p comes with a 11.6in display, up to 256GB of SSD storage and touted battery life of 10 hours.

It's not a looker, but the tiny EliteBook packs high-end specifications, which could make it a more attractive purchase than a tablet. If the 2170p lives up to the claims of being "rugged", then HP could be onto a winner.

HP EliteBook 2170p Review

 

The EliteBook line is long overdue for an update. Today, when placed alongside modern Ultrabooks, the 2170p looks and feels ancient.

HP EliteBook 2170p

 

The HP EliteBook 2170p is a well-designed business ultraportable with a terrific keyboard and a solidly resilient chassis.

Handsomely designed. Excellent keyboard.

So-so battery life. Extended battery juts out the rear. No HDMI.

HP EliteBook 2170p Ultraportable Review: Business Class, But Business Savvy?

 

We recently reviewed Acer's Aspire V5-171, a notebook that proves that there's a life (and a market) after netbooks but before ultrabooks. The essential gap that's materialized has been between the fast decaying netbook market (its death spurred on by...

Expectations are strange things. As reviewers we try to be unbiased, but we aren't really immune to being excited about or nervous about a product coming in for review. Consequently, a promising product that turns out to be nearly everything you hoped...

Review HP EliteBook 2170p Subnotebook

 

Bonsai. A bonsai is a perfected miniature tree, maintained well and with a lot of perseverance. Is HP's smallest EliteBook also perfect in form and devised with attention to detail?

Very good application performance, No performance drops on battery power, Relatively cool chassis, Very good and diverse input devices, Stable base unit, Fast SSD storage, Docking & DisplayPort, Security features & tools, Recovery disk,...

Display with poor contrast, Brightness decreases on battery power, Is there no production of IPS panels (wide viewing angles, high contrast) with HD resolution
