HP EliteBook 6930p

(4.5 out of 5)

MSRP: $1,399

HP’s flagship business notebook offers an elegant, business-rugged design, fast performance, and smart software.

HP’s aptly named new business line, EliteBook, leaves no doubt as to what caliber notebooks it offers. The 14.1-inch 6930p, the line’s flagship model, has an elegant, durable design, new security features, and thanks to Intel’s new Centrino 2 platform and available discrete graphics, some of the best performance in its class. It’s our top pick among business notebooks. Built to Last (and Turn Heads) HP bills the 6930p as a business-rugged notebook, and with its brushed metal design, it looks both tough and elegant. It includes a brushed, anodized aluminum lid combined with a magnesium alloy chassis. Indeed, this 5.2-pound notebook is sturdy, but at 13.0 x 9.6 x 1.2 inches it’s a bit wider and thicker than the Dell Latitude E6400 (13.2 x 9.4 x 1.0 inches). To lessen the weight, you can opt for HP’s Illumi-Lite LED-backlit display for an additional $50.
