HP EliteBook and ProBook Intel Ivy Bridge Laptops now Shipping


HP’s lineup of 2012 EliteBook and ProBook business laptops are now available for purchase via HP.com. The big news with these new releases is of course the fact they now integrate Intel’s 3rd generation Core i3, i5 and i7 processors along with improved HD 4000 integrated graphics.

The flagship notebooks of this new lineup are the EliteBook 8770w, 8570p and 8470p. All are premium systems constructed using aluminum and built to mil-spec standards for durability and use in adverse conditions such as extreme heat, cold and dust. The design has stayed the same from the previous generation of EliteBooks. You still get the chiclet style keyboard that made its debut last year, but unfortunately there is no backlight option for that keyboard like we have seen in the new ThinkPads such as the X230 we just reviewed. In terms of pricing, the 14” EliteBook 8470p starts at $899 with an Intel Core i5 processor, not a bad price at all. However, fully loaded configurations of the 8470p that come with a 1600 x 900 screen, Core i7 processor and dedicated AMD graphics goes up to $2,000, ouch! The 8570p starts at a similar price of $899 and again escalates in cost as you add more powerful components. Shipping for all of the new HP business models is estimated for June 25, 2012 if you order today, about a 2-week window from order to delivery.
