8770w Elitebook?

I forgot to mention that the European enter key is annoyingly thin. If you look at older keyboards and full desktop keyboards, the enter key is much wider. On the 8770w they could actually have a bigger keyboard as there is plenty of space on the sides. You could easily have a bigger gap between the numerical keypad and the rest of the keyboard and you could also fit decent sized arrow keys.

normally on German keyboards e. g. the Enter key is bigger, so it really differs what language type the keyboard is.

Looking at photos, I have the clear impression they actually use the same keyboard for 8560w and 8760w, which is probably the reason why the 8760w keyboard is so crappy, being designed for a 15.6" workstation.

As 8770w is a high end laptop, shouldn't they add Thunderbolt support?

It's a business laptop not a consumer one. Generally they won't have the newest consumer ports like thunderbolt or even the dated HDMI (most business machines use displayport).

I thought so too, was wondering why The Verge wrote that new article. Maybe HP sent out a new press release when they were sending out all their other ones, yesterday?

Thought maybe yesterday was the first day they were available to purchase, like with the Spectre XT.

Except the battery life on the Dell kind of sucked.

Can you provide some more information on the battery life on Dell?
