HP Launches Elitebook 2170p Notebook

New Delhi: HP launched its smallest and lightest weight Elitebook – the Elitebook 2170p. Ideal for road warriors, the new 11.6-inch diagonal notebook has a starting weight of 1.31-kilos, yet still supports enterprise-class connectivity, security and management features. With up to eight hours of battery life, the HP EliteBook 2170p is also compatible with the common docking stations used across the HP business notebook portfolio for maximum efficiency.

“The new Elitebook 2170p is designed for mobile business professionals, offering a host of features that make this the ideal choice for professionals on-the-move” said Vinay Awasthi, Senior Director, Product Category, Printing and Personal Systems, HP India. “With innovative, reliable hardware designs and predictive software technologies, this notebook will make it easier for customers to keep their businesses running securely and efficiently.”

The Elitebook 2170p offers a full-sized keyboard – with optional backlit capabilities – encased in a business-rugged design that protects against the bumps common with mobile use. It also features an optional integrated HP Mobile Broadband featuring, allowing for access to the Internet, corporate networks, email and mission-critical information in more places. This business notebook delivers Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) graphics and is powered by Intel’s third-generation ultra-low-voltage processor that enables long battery life

All of the new HP EliteBooks also employ HP’s design framework, which embodies a timeless construction. Precision-engineered durability features are designed with the environment in mind, and the four systems also sport third-generation Intel®^® Core™ processors for great performance and impressive battery life.

The Elitebook 2170p also features:

HP FitTight battery lock

Keeps your battery secure even when your notebook is subjected to shock, drops, or side impacts, reducing the risk of jostling or ejecting the battery

Laser-precision indicators

New laser-precision indicators are virtually undetectable until the required system function activates them, keeping you informed of your HP business notebook’s system status discreetly

 HP DisplaySafe frame

A full, double-shot rubber frame acts as a shock-absorbing barrier that helps protect the display panel from scuffs and scratches caused by shock and vibration or from being packed too tightly in a carrying case. The HP DisplaySafe frame also prevents accidental contact with the keyboard or palm rest when the panel is closed. In addition, HP’s new design minimizes any openings between the top and bottom of the notebook for a better fit when it is closed

Enhanced HP DuraCase

An incredibly strong, hybrid magnesium-aluminum chassis designed to withstand an enormous amount of physical impact and pressure common in business and enterprise environments. Inspired by aerospace materials and construction for their superior strength-to-weight properties, the HP DuraCase deploys a higher level of scrutiny in precision and quality, yielding a significantly more rigid and robust chassis than previous generations. This obsession in engineering translates to unparalleled protection against damage and lower total cost of ownership for our customers.

 HP Power Assistant

Extends battery run time while allowing you to reduce energy consumption through a new simple user interface. Allows you to conserve power, accurately monitor your reported power needs, and report workforce power consumption

The HP Elitebook 2170p is available in India from July, 2012 with a starting price of 69,000.
