The HP EliteBook

With a design inspired by aircraft engineering, the HP EliteBook is built for the corporate road warrior. It features a shock-resistant hard drive and spill-resistant keyboard to help defend data against bumps, drops and spills. It was designed to meet the tough MIL-STD 810F military-standard tests that measure levels of environmental reliability and operation at extreme temperatures of over 60 degrees Celsius/140 degrees Fahrenheit and below -29 C/-20 F, while withstanding vibration and high humidity.

The inner magnesium shell of the notebook’s HP DuraCase is equipped with a honeycomb pattern that is thermally bonded to anodized aluminum for a solid construction. The HP EliteBook also includes enhanced impact protection for a display panel that can withstand up to 80 percent more force to twist than display enclosures in older models. Additionally, anodized aluminum is used on the palm-rest surface with HP DuraFinish, a protective coating that is six times more scratch-resistant than previous notebooks. These materials also are highly recyclable, facilitating environmentally responsible disposal at end of life.

The initial ENERGY STAR® qualified HP EliteBook 6930p configuration weighs only 4.7 pounds (2.1 kilograms). It features a 14.1-inch diagonal widescreen display and is available with an optional, mercury-free Illumi-Lite LED display.

Setting a new standard for on-the-move productivity, the HP EliteBook 6930p provides up to 15 hours of combined battery life with optional Ultra Capacity battery for full-day productivity. It also offers the choice of optional second hard drive support for RAID 0 (striping) or RAID 1 (mirroring), optional 2-megapixel webcam with Business Card Reader software, and a full range of integrated wireless and security solutions.

Customers also can choose ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3450 Graphics with up to 256 megabytes (MB) of dedicated video memory for more graphics-intensive environments, or the latest Intel Graphics Accelerator for optimal performance.

Business-critical mobility

The newly redesigned business notebook “b”-series is distinguished by its silver finish and magnesium alloy support structure.

Offering an ideal combination of features for mainstream business mobility, the b-series notebooks include:
