Great usability ; Impressive build quality ; Brilliant keyboard ; 3 year warranty

Short battery life ; Poor mobility

Great build and usability flawed by low power and poor battery life

Great keyboard, lightweight, portable

Poor battery life, sluggish performance

The HP Compaq 2510p is a fairly average machine for the asking price. Sure, its light weight and the build quality are highly impressive but we were let down by the rather average battery life.

At around £1,500, this might seem expensive, but that's the premium you need to pay for the hard-to-achieve combination of compactness and high battery life. With time, as prices of solid state drives fall, we hope HP introduces this option here as...

Tank-like construction; excellent touch pad; includes integrated WWAN; supports Intel's Active Management technology.

Bigger and bulkier than other recent high-end ultraportables, but just as expensive.

HP's no-nonsense ultraportable laptop scores for its solid construction and some biz-friendly features, but the Compaq 2510p costs just as much as the flashy, consumer-oriented competition. Choose this ultraportable only if security concerns and IT...
