    "Elite mobile professionals

    For the mobile professional who wants to make a statement, the premium HP EliteBook features the sleek and durable HP DuraCase – a brushed anodized aluminum exterior casing combined with a magnesium alloy chassis engineered to meet MIL-STD 810F military-standard(8) durability tests.

    The HP EliteBook is built for the corporate road warrior, with a protective coating of anodized aluminum on the palm-rest surface that is six times more scratch-resistant than that used in previous notebooks. These materials also are highly recyclable, facilitating environmentally responsible disposal at end of life.

    Designed with the latest mobile technologies, the HP EliteBook also features HP QuickLook 2 software, HP SpareKey and HP File Sanitizer for the ultimate in convenience and security, as well as shock-resistant hard drive and spill-resistant keyboard to help protect data against bumps, drops and spills.

    The initial ENERGY STAR® qualified HP EliteBook configuration weighs only 4.7 pounds (2.1 kilograms). It features a 14.1-inch diagonal widescreen display and is available with an optional mercury-free Illumi-Lite LED display.(1) Setting a new standard for on-the-move productivity, the HP EliteBook 6930p provides up to 15 hours(9) of combined battery life with optional Ultra Capacity battery.

    More information on the HP EliteBook is available at www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2008/connecting/na_businessnotebook.pdf. "

    I just wish it won't cost 3000$. Otherwise, I buy this laptop as soon as I can!

    Someone mentioned before that it will have a starting price of $1149, which I find hard to believe.

    These are the following specifications of the HP Elite notebook:
    Processor: Intel Mobil 8000 series or 9000 series
    RAM: up to 8 GB DDR2
    Display: 14“ display with a resolution of 1.280 x 800 or 1.440 x 900 pixels
    HDD: up to 250 GB
    Multi function bay: for DVD-RW, DVD-ROM, HDD, BluRay
    Graphics: integrated graphic card or Radeon HD 3650
    Wireless: WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n; optional HSDPA
    TPM chip, finger print reader
    VGA, 3 x USB 2.0, Gigabit LAN, Firewire, 56k-modem
    Express card slot
    Additionally, the notebook is protected against splash water and bears up against minus 29 degrees Celsius and plus 60 degrees Celsius.

    This notebook looks great! And with a starting price of $1179, it is definitely going to be a winner and the ELITE of all other notebooks, considering the price range. :D

    It would be great if the area around the keyboard would be all black. The exterior should remain silver.
    I am dissapointed that the only video card options are integrated graphics or the ATI HD3470. It would be amazing if they offered the HD3870 512MB with the AMD PUMA platform. I hope they offer a 15.4inch Elite notebook with a stronger video card.
    Also, doesn't the screen look dim? I was hoping that it would be brighter...

    Is it available in New York City now? One of my friends planned to visit there next week and buy hp 6930p. Where is it avaible (or best_buy) currently? I have checked CompUSA, Computer World, J&R, etc., but cannot find any shop selling this product. Would like to know where to buy it.

    Thank you very much,

    I didn't see that anywhere in the press release. But I did see this:

    "All the notebooks are expected to be available by late July. Estimated starting U.S. street pricing ranges from $799 for the HP standard “s”-series product to $1,179 for the HP EliteBook series."

    It's a business notebook. It isn't sold at retail stores.

    You will have to order the laptop from HP.com or any other online store that sells HP business laptops.

    I like the specs, but why did they drop the Multibay?

    MultiBay is still there. You can choose to have a hard drive, optical drive or weight saver.
