Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the HP Elitebook 8440P laptop for just over a month now, and I absolutely love it. I used to use a 13" macbook, but got sick of not being able to customize the software to do exactly what I wanted (since I grew up as a PC user). I expect the HP Elitebook 8440p to last me at least 3-4 years. I've installed Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit on it so that I could run Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 for editing videos, and the laptop renders video fast and hasn't crashed yet.
I've replaced the standard 6 cell battery with a 9 cell battery, giving me 5-6 hours of battery life while browsing online and watching youtube videos. I noticed the battery life lasts even longer (up to 9 hours) if you turn off the wifi, and do something offline like word processing. When you put it to sleep, it doesn't drain the battery at all, yet it turns on right away again when you hit the power button.
The machine is designed excellent with a business/professional and sleek look with the stainless steel lid. It's also scratch resistant and finger-print resistant due to this material. It's quiet and stays very cool. This may also have something to due to 160gb Intel solid state drive that mine has.
The HP protection suite that comes with it has many great security options if that is an important issue to you. It can manage all your passwords for you.
The only bad thing I could say about it is about the speaker/mic volume. The volume won't get very loud even on the max settings. When you record your voice on microphone, it doesn't play back very loud. Still it's good enough to handle a skype call.
