Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist of the Hp Laptop Battery
The HP EliteBook 8440w adds a 14-inch screen to Hewlett-Packard's mobile workstation lineup, along with extended battery life, support for quick Web and Outlook access, and new management extras that should entice power users and IT managers alike.
The EliteBook 8440w is HP's debut in the 14-inch space, and while the display is unremarkable in terms of brightness and technical color accuracy, the 8440w does pack a punch in terms of processor performance and connectivity options in a well-designed form.
The 8440w, which started shipping Feb. 1, starts at $1,425 at the HP Online store. The unit I tested cost $1,649 and was configured with a 2.66GHz Intel Core i7-620M dual-core processor; the standard-life nine-cell, 100WHr lithium-ion battery like Hp HSTNN-DB11 Battery , Hp HSTNN-DB16 Battery , Hp HSTNN-DB20 Battery , Hp HSTNN-DB31 Battery , Hp HSTNN-DB36 Battery , Hp HSTNN-DB63 Battery , Hp HSTNN-FB21 Battery , Hp HSTNN-I03C Battery , Hp HSTNN-I05C Battery , Hp HSTNN-I23C Battery , Hp HSTNN-IB0 Battery , Hp HSTNN-IB04 Battery ; and 4GB of 1333MHz DDR3 RAM. The workstation in this configuration comes with a 320GB, 7,200-rpm SATA II drive with HP 3D DriveGuard protection; an integrated 2-megapixel camera; a swipe fingerprint reader; an integrated dial-up modem; and 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 wireless support. The system comes with a three-year warranty. An extended-life battery with a three-year warranty and rated for 1,000 charging cycles is also available although not tested for this review.
The 14-inch LED backlit HD anti-glare screen provides 1,600 by 900 resolution. There's plenty of screen real estate but no option in this model for the color control I've seen in larger mobile workstations. This makes the EliteBook 8440w more suited for number-crunching applications than creative arts and photo processing. The comparable Dell Precision M2400 (detailed below) offers a screen option that also makes it a good choice for presentation-intensive applications.
