The conventional lid mounting makes it possible. We like the Kensington lock, display port and VGA ( screwed!) positioning on the rear. This port allows 2560x1600 pixels on an external display. If specific interfaces are missing, users have the possibility to retrofit via the ExpressCard54 slot. The almost extinct modem port (RJ-11), display port, FireWire (i-Link) and eSATA belongs to this. The 14 incher has everything that is expected in a modern work notebook. A single-handed removal is thus possible.Īppreciated by pros and popular amongst demanding customers: Docking stations and numerous connections for all needs. The same applies to the battery: Instead of pressing around on two locks with two fingers, we can simply pull the battery eject and it appears to push itself out of its compartment. This gap is enough to pull the display open with one hand.
It releases the massive lock (metal) and allows the lid to open itself about half a centimeter. The somewhat seemingly over-sized silver display button is beneficial for single-handed opening. We can open the lid single-handedly despite the base unit's heavy weight. They keep the lid tight in position (no teetering). The hinges are fixed tight to the base unit. The manufacturer uses real metal for the hinges, just like in the ProBook. Thus, the surfaces feel cool and are very scratch resistant. Lid, wrist-rest and the strip above the keys are made of brushed aluminum. The reason for this quality is the selected materials beside the stability. Of course, we can dent it slightly with a lot of selective pressure. The silver area stays firm up to the end. We can only twist it just slightly at the corners. The lids stiffness is almost sensational. We can't dent the wrist-rest or base plate anywhere. The base unit is as solid as a rock and can't be twisted at all, even with force.
However, the manufacturer has uncompromisingly decided in favor of high-quality and stability. It would be wrong to assume that business users aren't looking for the perfect weight. We'll also notice what we are carrying around due to the weight of 2363 grams. Its highest part measures 3.1 centimeters. Whilst notebook series aligned for consumers are always getting thinner, flatter and lighter, HP apparently adds a bit to guarantee higher stability.
