Design

The best way to sum up the overall design of HP EliteBook 2570p is that the notebook has a solid but alluring design. This laptop has an aluminum brushed lid, aluminum alloy hinges and the bottom is made using a magnesium material. Due to the strong materials that have been used to make the notebook, it can take many rough bumps and knows that no ordinary laptop can.

 

Apparently the laptop has undergone various tests proving that it can withstand dust, shock, extreme temperature, vibrations and relatively high drops. Weighing approximately 4.6 pounds with a size of 8.2 × 12 × 1.1 inches (HWD), HP EliteBook 2570p is a rather heavy laptop. It has a 12.5 inch screen display and well sized keyboard with spill resistant keys. However the keys are somehow shallow, there is no backlit option and the keyboard has a shorter palmrest. Due to the two sets of dedicated click buttons, the touchpad is a bit small for comfortable use.

 

HP EliteBook 2570p is designed for perfect docking with numerous ports for effective business use. Some of the ports you can anticipated to find include USB 2.0, USB 3.0, VGA, Ethernet, a SmartCard reader, a memory card reader and headphone/mic jacks.
