Thanks, very helpful review 😊

I have been have this laptop now 7 years and it still working like new. I actually travel very much and for me this is not too heavy. I can trust this laptop and when some day i need to buy new laptop that gonna be a Elitebook again.

Metal case is the added weight but I think it's good protection

I love the industrial design such a unit

Tbh i really like this laptop's keyboard. I used to use macbook a1278 for a long time and this hp one is not a lot different. That's why i was able to switch to it really easily. And i don't know how it is in the us but in europe on every keyboard you have the "Alt Gr" key. I was really suprised that you mentioned that as something unusuall.

I have the 8470p with an i5 since 2016. 4gb of RAM weren't cutting it so I gave it 4 more on dual channel. Now it performs much better. I have a WD Blue SSD waiting for install. It should improve a lot. I love its weight, sturdiness and overall reliability and performance. Some days of the week I use it for work, 12 hours straight. Only the battery died soon since it was a used unit. But I can't complain. Prices of this model nowadays in my 3rd world country are skyrocketing.

I collect Thinkpads, but I fell in love with that HP. I got two Elitebook 8470p and an 8460p for almost nothing and I dedicated myself to restoring them. They had suffered blows that other machines would not have survived. I had to replace parts of the cases, keyboards, HDD drives with SSDs and the i5 with i7, as well as the batteries, and do a complete maintenance on them! But there they are, working like the first day. The best of hp

Back when companies were actually trying. I also absolutely love how these 10+ year old tanks can still run and be loved by many people quite well. Can still be a good friend for day to day tasks. Makes me want to own one haha.

I think my mom has this exact laptop? Yeah basically the same thing except for the power buttons. I sometimes use it for playing Roblox when she isn’t using it for work, and the performance is actually awesome for a laptop! I love it, and I kinda recommend it for people who want a budget (kinda) laptop!

I have the i7 version with 8gb SSD. Excellent build quality. Still a great laptop.

I have this laptop, i take it with me to college and university in a bagpack, yes can be quite weighty as well as other items if carried for a long time but not impossible to carry, i photoshop with it and it works really well no problems, although would recommend an ssd like the one shown, not terrible with a hdd but certainly an improvement with an ssd, very good for a 2012 laptop

I picked up one of these as a spare some years ago just coz it was so cheap - and a couple years later entered service as my main machine. Been that way another couple years now, they are flippin amazing. it's an i7-3720QM variant with 1080 screen. Has dedicated AMD video as well but I don't play games so not worried about that. Had a newer flashier looking Toshiba i7 as my main machine but that thing caused me DAYS of lost time over several years. From proprietary non-standard EFI/BIOS issues - refused to boot linux until I did something accidentally to make it work, then couple years later screwed up so another day lost. Turns out the useless UEFI coders hard-coded the window loader path into UEFI even though you're meant to be able to set a pointer to another one! I also had issues with the 5Ghz wifi on it (half the time seemed dead/non-existent), and it took 16 screws just to remove the back cover. I spilled coffee in it while away housesitting and the keyboard went all wonky, but back home I always used an external keyboard so I kept using it. Some months later there was a loud pop and the bluetooth was no more - I must accept that was probably motherboard corrosion from the coffee. After another year it finally gave out its last gasp, rolled over onto its side and crashed the O/S. She wouldn't boot no more. I whipped out the SSD and the 16GB RAM and within minutes the Elitebook was up and running with my same old familiar desktop. Zero UEFI/BIOS issues. Zero driver issues. "It just works". And now I understand why a company would pay $2000 for one of these when a similar spec (on paper) consumer model can usually be had for less than half that price. It's the maturity of the BIOS and the hardware chosen. I'm a convert. I've bought my last consumer grade machine. It gets clogged up and overheats the same as all laptops (maybe I should vacuum my house more) but as you showed the back comes off in seconds and the fan lifts out with 2 small screws. When my sister asked me to help her choose a new All-In-One machine I was really disappointed at the specs for the prices being asked. So I found her an equally robust used Elitebook model AiO. She paid a quarter of what she was going to spend and ended up with better specs and better build quality. Only downside was lack of warranty (but you can buy two of them) and it's heavy. Once again it's all quick easy access and everything just works! No drama with resetting BIos/UEFI stuff and performing a fresh O/S install.

If you will have it in one place then it's perfect. If you are looking to move it around, it's not mobile because of its weight. For homework it's perfect. For anything else probably not. As an i5 it's great value and solid as fuck.

I actually have this laptop and it runs Kubuntu 19.10, with 8gb ram and a 500gb Samsung Evo ssd, and I upgraded from the i5 3320m to the i7-3612qm.

It’s supposed to be a budget laptop because it’s 8 years old. I’m running 8470p but upgraded cpu ram and ssd for cheap and it runs like a monster cheaper than a budget pc for everyday use

Backlit?

I'm thinking about buying this kind of laptop but the one i found doesn't have standard "Intel HD Graphics 4000 " graphics card but an "AMD Radeon HD 7570M". I don't need this laptop for something demanding, but i will love if it will play a game like "League of Legends".

I've never tried league of legends on it but I might try it on a similar machine. It's not a graphic intensive game so it should do okay.

League can run on a potato so integrated graphics should be good enough... however the radeon graphics are perfect for a game like that.

Yeah playing any type of fps though doesn't work too well on it unfortunately, but league should be fine

I think buying a dell latitude e7440 with an i7 is a better option and will serve you much better while bding capable of light gaming

I guess it depends on the games. You’ll need a SSD for sure though.

The hard drive models are to slow and obsolete by today's standards. I doubt you'd be doing much heavy gaming how ever something lighter like Fortnite or Minecraft will run fine.

compared to lenovo x230, which one do you prefer? since both have exactly same processor but different lcd size

glad to hear that, cause i own one of those x230. same as your opinion, i like a compact and portable laptop just like x230. having upgraded it to msata 256gb + ssd sata 128gb and 8gb ram, run very smooth, btw i used it for web programming. but on one cons, the fan realllyyyy small, it causes overheat often. thinking of change it into 8570p, well maybe i'll try it myself later. thanks for your review anyway one more subs for you

@@agungprasetyo6158 Sounds like it would be certainly worthwhile to dissasemble it and clean the fan, and replacing the thermal paste if you feel comfortable doing that. I have to say though I feel like these factory applications on at least my HP laptops were so decent that it COULD have been better to leave it. Although I did remove heatsink to clean properly as there was just a lot of crap there lol. Still, at least my 8470p ran fine before cleaning lol.. Would have been super interesting to just clean as best as I can without interfering with the TIM.
