WTT: HP Elitebook 8440W. Have power, want light longevity.
Posted: Fri Aug 12, 2011 8:46 pm
I shouldn't have sold my X201...but oh well.
I've recently purchased an HP EliteBook 8560W for my virtualization needs. IPS screen & a good docking station. Sadly, everything that the Thinkpad W series lacked when I had the W510.
Since I have that power, I no longer need my EliteBook 8440W for virtualization. I have a powerful laptop that can handle anything I'm throwing at it. What I don't have is a laptop with light weight & battery life to spare. Comes with the quad core territory. I get 5 hours, but I'm wanting in excess of 8. I could have that if I just swapped CPUs with the 8440W, but for that trouble, I might as well look at making a trade instead.

It's spent very little time turned on, I can count the number of times it's left the docking station on one hand. Absolutely pristine condition. If you wanted a W410, this is as close as you can come to it, and the build quality exceeds the Thinkpads I've owned in the past 8 years (although I prefer the Thinkpad's trackpoint).
As said, I'm not looking for power so much as something ideally <= 4lbs with 8 or so hours of battery life.
