HP EliteBook 8460p Pro Reviews

PC Magazine‘s review Edit

The HP EliteBook 8460p isn't the most portable business laptop, but it's one of the most solid choices both literally and figuratively.

TechSpot‘s review Edit

It's difficult to come away from this review without simply saying that this is a slightly more refined version of the ProBook 6360b. For $300 more, the EliteBook 8460p gives you a faster processor, discrete graphics, a slightly thinner (yet a bit heavier) chassis that looks better, a Pointstick and a great touchpad, two USB 3.0 ports and forgettable speakers.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

The HP EliteBook 8460p proves that serious business notebooks can look good and perform well as well. The screen and the super-smooth touchpad are stand-outs, as is the sound quality (for a business machine). It is hefty though, both in bulk and price, but an excellent specification means the only feature you could wish to add would be HDMI. Battery life is average, but if this machine is to serve as a desktop replacement then that's unlikely to be a problem. If you need extra power, then the nine cell battery could be worth an investment, or if you need a gallon of extra power, then get the ultra battery.

Notebookcheck‘s review Edit

The performance of the speedy i7 dual-core processor and above-average hard drive are excellent but could be much higher still with an SSD (LG746EA configuration). The case temperature always remains low, although the noise level can get rather high during constantly heavy use. The CPU throttling during simultaneous CPU+GPU stress was particularly disappointing. Although this is usually irrelevant for office work, this might make the 8460p a black sheep among professionals with high expectations.

PC World‘s review Edit

Overall, the HP EliteBook 8460p offers decent performance, a good display, and a great keyboard in an unassuming exterior design. The price for preconfigured models is reasonable, given some of the system management features built into the EliteBook. So if you're looking for a fairly light business-class all-purpose laptop that gets the job done without being flashy, the 8460p deserves closer inspection. Just remember to bring your own headphones.

AnandTech‘s review Edit

If you can handle the dismal screen, you'll be left with a heck of a business-class notebook and one that makes a case for eschewing consumer-grade options entirely. Even as a gadget hound who replaces his notebooks nearly annually (it is a sickness and I cannot stop) I have a hard time resisting spending up on one of HP's new EliteBooks. The 8460p is definitely worthy of an Editors' Choice Award, but only if you can put up with the awful screen.
