What does /g/ think of elitebooks? Thinking of buying a 2570p

I have an elitebook 8440p and I like it
happy to see the 2570p still has a clit mouse and physical buttons, even if the keyboard is sunk in

I hate every new laptop I have seen

I love my 2730p, equivalent to X200T, but i like it better. As for quadcore, not sure - if the CPU isn't BGA-ed in and has a socket, you're often limited to the same FSB speed and microarchitecture (Pentryn, Nehalem, Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge etc.) Hard to say.

Used a 2560p during an exchange semester for six months - i7, 8GB RAM, SSD. Great laptop, can't really go wrong with it. The only downside I can see is that it's a little bulky and heavy for bringing to school every day; it's definitely not an ultrabook.

Yeah I'll obviously stick to same arch/gen.

HP has a list of compatible processors, so I'd just pick a quad core off that.

That's not really an issue for me satan, I don't mind bulky laptops as long as they're not shit.

How's the touchpad? It looks really small.

8470p would be my section choice.
>8440p
Would you consider upgrading to an 8470p or 8560/70p and putting in a quad core like I'm planning to?

Lol. Enjoy your botnet, faggot.

yeah, I'd totally consider it but it's not like I have any knowledge of whether it'd work or not
and to be honest all I really look for in a laptop is a clit mouse and physical buttons, probably going hp when I have to get a new laptop

Lol, as if the Thinkpad BIOS isn't locked up and DRM'ed to the brim. Also last time i was looking for spare parts, Elitebooks and Thinkpads used the same LCD panels from the same manufacturer down to the same model number in some series...

would an ips screen from the x230 work on the elitebook 2560/70p?

That would be really awesome.

So now that it's confirmed our resident HP hate fag Itt is a tech illiterate child, I think it's safe to say that he has nothing of value to offer to this thread and should be ignored completely.

Satan here
It was pretty damn small, but I made do. I had a small mouse I used sometimes, but otherwise I just had the touchpad settings on high sensitivity so I wouldn't have to keep lifting my finger.
Keyboard was great for a laptop, speakers were pretty tinny.
Oh yeah also it got pretty damn hot under load, but that was mostly because of >vidya.
