*HP EliteBook 8460p Owners Lounge!*

Does anyone else have the same fan problem?

[wii]

Fan problems is definately a deal breaker for me.

Hi,

can anybody please check, if the 8460p works flawlessly with Linux/Ubuntu?

Thanks

It has been confirmed, that it supports Port Multiplying

Seems like hp's elitebooks aren't popular as much as thinkpads do. Where is the discussion? =((

[knight427]

The most active discussions have been happening on the 8740w and 8540w owner threads. The 8x60p series are just starting to ship, but the 8x60w workstations were only announced today and won't be shipping for probably more than a month. Additionally, the p series Elitebooks tend to be less active discussions (at least they have been since I've been hanging around here).

Not for someone in Canada i'm afraid. I was able to get a "leave your contact info and the model# you want, and next month when our buyer comes in we will ask." From Staples...

HP's business partner model is not great up here for buying as a consumer.

Kokanee where abouts are you? I too am on a Canada/US border (Windsor way).

Where can I buy a HP 8460p in Canada?! It is not on hp.ca and I dont want to buy international.

Thanks!

I am a Canadian Reseller... my eta's are showing early May for the 8460p model. I too am waiting for one for my own use.

I've heard that hp is going to launch new 2560p. What do you think? I've never used 12" laptops is it usable? Sure it will be much smaller and lighter.

I freaking love my 2540p! It is very usable, mine is with the I7... it works great! The only thing I hate is when I pull it out and someone comments "oh a netbook". IT'S NOT A FREAKING NETBOOK, AND FAR FROM IT!!!

I just bought a HP 2530p and I came from a big 15'' notebook...and I just say that the small screen is nothing disturbing!

It is not too small, I do a lot of office and prgramming on it and it is not annoying. I love the light and small size. It is great to carry all around.

At home, I connect it to an external 24'' display and a DIY vidock graphic card, So I play games like crysis, F1 2010 and Battlefield bad company 2 on it nicely.

When the 2560p will be realesed, I will grab it for sure!! (if I like the new desing)

Hey guys a little advice? I am an IT student and do a little of everything on my laptop (Movies, Web, MS Office, Programming, etc). I think I have made up my mind on getting the 8460p w/:

i7-2620(Dual Core), 4GB, 500 Gb and the 1600x900 screen

But then I was looking at the Envy 14. It looks like they are going to refresh soon so they are a little cheaper. The Envy would have:

i7-740QM(Quad), 6GB, 640GB and 1366x768

The savings is only about $200. What is the real performance diff between the 2? I am also interested in overall durability. I know the Elitebooks are built to Mil. standards which is pretty attractive.

Thanks for any feedback. I appreciate it. :-)
