FS (Aust): 2x HP EliteBook 2540p (12.1" Core i5 subnotebook)

[rek]

I have gone all-chips-in on cloud and tablet computing at work, so won't be needing my laptops anymore. All I ever use them for lately are meetings, anyway... These HP EliteBook 2540p laptops (I have two of them) are similar to a ThinkPad X200-ish machine in that they are a 12.1" widescreen subnotebook.

In terms of build quality they are very solid and every bit as good as the X60 (and X31 and X40 before that) in terms of durability and finish. I found some of the rare HP 'cats tongue' nibs for the pointing stick so they feel the correct, ThinkPad, way.

These are the variant that have 4 USB ports, and take a 2.5" SATA hard drive.


Elitebook #1 is in pristine condition, as if all it ever did was move 30 metres from my office to the meeting room a few times a month...

Intel Core i5-580M
12.1" 1280x800 LCD
keyboard light
Touchpad and pointing stick
Wifi + Bluetooth
Fingerprint reader
Battery is 3-cell (doesn't stick out) and in excellent condition
HP AC adapter

8GB RAM (2x4GB) and 320GB HDD price: AU$750+post.


Elitebook #2 is in fairly rough condition and was my 'spare'. Its spec is almost identical to Elitebook #1, except:

- it's missing its Wifi card (but still has Bluetooth)
- one of the blanks on the keyboard are missing next to the arrow keys
- the HP logo on the LCD bezel has lost its silver shiny-ness
- there's a scratch on the top cover near the HP logo

4GB RAM (1x4GB, one slot free) and 160GB HDD price: AU$600+post


Re configuration flexibility - if you want a different RAM/HDD spec I have enough RAM sticks available to make any configuration up to 8GB, and in terms of HDD I also have a 750GB HDD and Intel X25-M (G2) 80GB SSD.

I will ship internationally if you like (just watch the high Australian dollar). PM if interested.
