HP's new Elitebook

“The new Elitebook 2170p is designed for mobile business professionals, offering a host of features that make this the ideal choice for professionals on-the-move,” said Vinay Awasthi, Senior Director, Product Category, Printing and Personal Systems, HP India. “With innovative, reliable hardware designs and predictive software technologies, this notebook will make it easier for customers to keep their businesses running securely and efficiently”. The Elitebook 2170p offers a full-sized keyboard with optional backlit capabilities, encased in a rugged design. It also features an optional, integrated HP Mobile Broadband. This business notebook delivers Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) graphics, and is powered by Intel’s third-generation ultra-low-voltage processor that enables long battery life

The Elitebook 2170p also features:

HP FitTight battery lock

It keeps your battery secure even when your notebook is subjected to shock, drops, or side impacts, reducing the risk of jostling or ejecting the battery.

Laser-precision indicators

New laser-precision indicators are virtually undetectable until the required system function activates them, keeping you informed of your HP business notebook’s system status discreetly.

HP DisplaySafe frame

A full, double-shot rubber frame acts as a shock-absorbing barrier that helps protect the display panel from scuffs and scratches caused by shock and vibration or from being packed too tightly in a carrying case. The HP DisplaySafe frame also prevents accidental contact with the keyboard or palm rest when the panel is closed. In addition, HP’s new design minimizes any openings between the top and bottom of the notebook for a better fit when it is closed.

Enhanced HP DuraCase

A strong, hybrid magnesium-aluminium chassis designed to withstand physical impact and pressure common in business and enterprise environments. Inspired by aerospace materials and construction for their superior strength-to-weight properties, the HP DuraCase yields a more rigid and robust chassis than previous generations. This translates to protection against damage and lower total cost of ownership for customers.

HP Power Assistant

It extends battery run time while allowing you to reduce energy consumption through a new, simple user interface. HP Power Assistant allows you to conserve power, accurately monitor your reported power needs, and report workforce power consumption.
