HP EliteBook 8740W notebookHP, The HP EliteBook 8740W is a mobile workstation with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, 8 GB RAM and an NVIDIA Quadro graphics card. It is designed for professionals such as engineers, architects and graphic artists who need lots of grunt under the bonnet - and the ability to grunt that transportation to and from the office. The EliteBook 8740W is a large beast: it has a 17 inch screen, a base that has been chock-a-block full of ports and slots, and it weighs over 3.6 kilograms.



The LCD screen is one of HP's Dream Color panels and is one of the best displays we've ever seen on a notebook. Color reproduction is excellent during our tests and the viewing angles are wider than what you find with a typical notebook display. This machine handled everything I threw at it. At its height, I was working on a 2GB Photoshop files, with 30 odd tabs open Firefox, Illustrator, Tweetdeck, email and chat. The Elitebook handled without a hitch. I knew that the machine was capable of much more, so I opened my current favorite game Starcraft II and all settings maxed out. The computer handles everything without a problem, even with all those other things open.
