Under industry insiders Hewlett-Packard is considered as reason of solid Notebook manufacturers, whose broad product range is perhaps missing a trace clarity. The mobile computers of the US-American company particularly find with humans resemblance, who decide with the head. The glamor, which for instance Apple products radiate, is rather strange to the notebooks of HP.

But with the center of the yearly also HP brings the charm to again introduced EliteBook series of somewhat completely special ones into the Business segment oriented at the user use. Adapted to mobile humans the EliteBook 6930p, which set expensive GB995EA-Variant connect in that approximately 1500 euros to the test stand, is particularly good.

The fact that it does not concern a 0815-Laptop here sees the experienced eye immediately: Instead of scratch-sensitive lacquer or plastic decent brushed metal the visible parts protects surfaces of corpus and display cover. The lity bowl underlines the exclusive character of the mobile computer, besides the EliteBook does not demand velvet gloves to the operation.

In often rough mobile use it is anyway better protected than most other notebooks: Thus the 6930p fulfills the fastidious American military standards (MIL 810F) in regard on loads by vibration, dust, humidity, case and temperature.

Small notebook with many variants

Who believes now, which would have sensitive Notebook technology to the existence of these hard tests by enormous material employment is protected, sees itself pleasantly disappointed with the first contact: With well 2.4 Kilos the EliteBook weighs at the most 150 gram more in this class to expect than on the average is, it is thus still very easy and also compact. Whereby the class refers to the 14,1-Customs-Display.

For many travelers that is the best compromise between carrying and working comfort. To the latter also still the comparatively high display dissolution contributes of 1440 x 900 pixels - at least with the test equipment, as long as one has good eyes. Because which with the quantity of representable information wins the display, is lost at the size naturally.

But also who is afraid before small writings on the screen, a 6930p does not have to do without on; there are variants beside the tested notebook also with 1280 x 800 pixels. Even remarks with currentsaving LED display lighting are available instead of the usual, also cold cathode fluorescent tube technology blocked in the test equipment.

Also with the diagram can be selected between two variants: Beside the ATI chip used with the test equipment Mobility Radeon hp 3450, which represents the entrance into the play class, are also versions with simple chip sentence diagram (Intel GMA X4500 hp) available. Even the accumulator there is in three different capacities, in the Testnotebook put the middle model with 55 Watt hours energy content.

Perseverance, achievement, comfort and feature

With this the testers in the normal employment could work approximately three and a half hours - which a good value is already; 6930p-remarks with chip sentence diagram, LED display lighting and largest accumulator might be therefore true Marathon notebooks.

Also achievement supplies with our 6930p with the employment as personal computer more than to enough. Even professional 3-D-Applications supports that Premium notebook according to rank, Como 133 points in the appropriate SYSmark-2007-Test document. For 3-D-Players one can recommend the 6930p less also due to arisen incompatibilities.

The EliteBook made a very good impression also in the field use. Thus the keyboard fulfills high expectations: The combination of Pointing stick and reliable TRACK PAD makes it possible to steer the pointer of mouse precisely. Besides a vertical Scroll border on the TRACK PAD and the sensory control of frequently necessary functions behind the keyboard facilitate the operation.

Indications stand on Business employment

During the equipment the indications stand naturally clearly on Business employment: Docking station connection, TPM coding module, finger print and Smartcard readers supplement the almost complete feature list and please each professional. Only a digital display exit (DVI/HDMI) beside the similar VGA haven would bring still additional use to some user.

Resultado: Who settles on the way and in the office fastidious tasks and its notebook does not preserve, should a sharp view on the 6930p throw. Because the HP EliteBook offers also remarkable All-round talent apart from the appearance representative on December duck way. Thus it can become fast to the first choice for belly and head.
