HP EliteBook 2530p (XT956UT) 12.1" Notebook

I've been working on this Elitebook 2530p for over six months and it performs like a champ! I upgraded from an 10.1" netbook to the Elitebook that features a fast Intel processor, a hardened 160 GB hard drive, enough RAM that I haven't felt the need to add more, a built in DVD-RW drive and a battery that has a good 7 to 8 hours of staying power. What follows are some of the things there were not disclosed to me before I purchased this EliteBook: * A built in fingerprint scanner (super cool!) * A descrete pop up LED keyboard light that has been installed in the top edge of the monitor screen's frame (also really cool) * A rollerball type mouse button that's built into the keyboard with an extra set of mouse buttons. Above the row of function keys is the HP Quick Launch Bar which has LED indicators that allows you immediate access to many of the EliteBook's top functions with just a single tap of your finger, such as: * The HP Info Center, which is a dashboard like application to the EliteBooks major features/programs, * An on/off switch for WANN and Bluetooth reception, * Pop up access to the HP Presentation Settings panel, * An instant Silence button for the netbook's speakers, and * A pop up volume adjuster that allows you to modify the volume level with just a simple swipe of your finger tip - no mouse necessary! To go even one better, these LED "buttons" change colors to show you what state they are in! Also on this Quick Launch Bar are lights for Cap Lock, Print Screen, Num Lock and Scroll Lock - indicators that are missing from many netbook keyboards. As I was getting to know my new EliteBook and all of these "extras" were revealing themselves to me, I felt like, and still feel like, I got ahold of a great, compact laptop with all the fancy bells and whistles that I could have asked for and I am very, very pleased!

Not holding the charge as expected but everything else is fine.

Excellent speed for handling Windows 7 Ultimate and other tasks. Study design and portable. Even Windows 7 didn't automatically find the SDHC slot, driver found on HP's website.

Replaced my OLD Dell x300 with this. It's fantastic, fast, light, easy to pack for trips! Seller got it to me in one day! Amazing.
