4388737132 16feca5aac HP Elitebook 6930p

After waiting for almost 1 month to have new notebook, HP Elitebook 6930 is finally mine as replacement for aging notebook. It’s a brand new notebook, but HP Elitebook 6930 is not a new model. It has been in the market since end of 2008, but the metal casing and other finishes, made it looks as just recently released model.

Entry level business notebook tend to be bulky, including this one, but it appear to have less weight than the old notebook. Powering it is Intel Core 2 Duo T9600 2.8Ghz with 2GHz RAM, which is blazingly fast (perhaps my old notebook too slow), despite not having the latest Intel Core i series. Well, it is suffice to my standard.

Despite plastered with ‘Windows Vista’ sticker, the notebook is still running on Windows XP SP2. It comes  with Internet Explorer 6, browser that everyone try to get rid with. No surprise here.

The decision to deploy aging OS and browser on the notebook at most global companies that I work, is usually made based on the it’s compatibility  with existing enterprise application. These ‘legacy’ applications which was developed years ago when IE6 is conquering 98% browsing market, is best run on Internet Explorer 6 and Windows XP.  Software fall in this category are usually internally developed proprietary application which has not received any update for compatibility purpose.  It may works on newest version of OS or browser, but no extensive testing done on that, or the lack of fund to run the project meant for that.

Looks like I have gone too far, anyhow, this is the best business notebook I have so far..

Thinkpad ThinkPad W700ds with dual screen – Perfect Office Companion

If there is notebook that I would love to see in my office’s cubicle, this is the one, ThinkPad w700ds.

First and foremost, I admired the dual-screen functionality that it has.The retractable 10.6″ screen expands the display area by 39 percent. It suit analyzing-orientation task that required  many applications opened at any time, and do comparison and troubleshooting. Productivity can be slightly improved by reducing the task of switching between applications.

Other specs are not less impressive. Taken from product page -

Connectivity wise, it support variety of standard as follow. It is one of the earliest notebook that I found support WiMAX, meaning that you no longer need P1′s wimax’s modem to access their broadband(right??)

  • Wireless LAN
  • Wireless WAN
  • Ultra Wideband
  • WiMAX
  • Gigabit Ethernet
  • Bluetooth®

If you care about green and environment, W500 is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality and EPEAT Silver certified and Energy Star 4.0 rated.

The only downside is the weight, which at 4.96 kg (10.9 lb) with one HDD for the dual-screen model. Obviously this is not really mobility gears to be carried everywhere.

And don’t expect this to come cheap. Be ready to splash USD3,069.00 for this monster.
