like this computer by itldu on tigerdirect.com Sep 20, 2011
I really like the computer. It's fast & the small size is perfect for our travels. (I'm still learning Windows 7 though, so there have been a few cuss words.) I do wish that the 'puter had 3 or even 4 USB ports instead of just 2, however I purchased a small 4 port hub &
 
Simply Best Buy by Tyrone R . Adney on amazon.com Sep 15, 2011
This is a fantastic Machine with 8hrs battery time. The only remark I have is that it is relatively thick compared to its competitors.

WTF corporate laptop?!?! by watashi on amazon.com Jul 4, 2012
I am forced to use this computer for work. For my personal laptop, I have a Thinkpad T520 (15.6" screen). I think you can tell how this review is going to go... In short, I loathe this computer. A significant part of my animosity stems from two things: ...

Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: 12.5" Intel 320G 4G
I am forced to use this computer for work...A significant part of my animosity stems from two things: 1) lots of other employees received thinkpads; 2) HP elitebooks receive universally good reviews...tl;dr If you're looking for a good business laptop, look elsewhere!! Don't believe the insulting, hyperbolic praise this product has received on other sites...

Maximum PC | HP Elitebook 2560p Review
Super-sturdy build; great performance for the size; easy upgrading....Feels heavy; miserly touchpad; no USB 3.0....To call HP’s 2560p an “ultraportable” is pushing it...Nestled within the 2560p’s island keyboard is a pointing stick (a la Lenovo’s ThinkPads), which, along with an additional set of right and left mouse buttons below the spacebar, lets you control the cursor without moving your hands from the keys...Aluminum-alloy hinges, titanium-alloy display...

HP EliteBook 2560p review - Techworld.com
A refresh based on second generation Intel Core processors, the 2560p is a decent performer with some nice ergonomic and design flourishes...Built largely from aluminum and magnesium, the 2560p completes its macho metal trilogy with supersturdy titanium hinges...The 2560p passes the US military's MIL-STD-810G drop test, which few laptops even attempt...A good result, but well shy of the 8 hours or more we've seen from some other ultraportables...The 2560p's input ergonomics are very good...

Review HP EliteBook 2560p LG666EA Subnotebook - Notebookcheck.net Reviews
Good performance for a subnotebook...Weak contrast TFT...The older Bluetooth 2.1 module and the WLAN-Draft-N (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 AGN) are the only communication modules in the 2560p...The 2560p is compatible with "Central Management", which means that it can be remotely (via Internet or network) identified and accessed...However, the weak display rating is not enough to sink the ship......
