Review HP EliteBook 8540p Notebook

The golden boy? The HP Elitebook 8540p is positioned in between the HP Probook 6540b and the HP Elitebook 8540w due to its price and its performance. Those readers who are curious about how well this notebook performs, will find all the necessary information in the following in-depth review.



The HP Elitebook 8540p is intended for those users who have high standards for the quality, sturdiness, and reliability of their notebook, but do not necessarily need very high performance. Due to this, the 8540p will not come with a high-end Intel quad-core processor and the Nvidia Quadro or the ATI Fire Pro graphics cards. Even the full HD display, which we are familiar with from the HP8540w model, is not available for this series. However, the user has to make no compromises when it comes to the matter of guarantee period, the quality of the case and the ports available on the laptop. Due to these three points, the 8540p is much better than the cheaper HP Probook 6540b model. In the end, buyers will have to pay very close attention to the specifications of each model and find one which suits their needs best. Our test model is equipped with the Intel Core i5-540M, 2GB DDR3 RAM, 250 GB hard disk, Nvidia NVS 5100 graphics, WVA HD+ display and the Windows 7 Professional 32bit operating system. The price of this variation of the 8540p is 1400 euros (retail price). The cheapest variation costs 1300 euros and comes with a WXGA display.
