![]() ![]() There are two audio ports, one for use with headphones and the other for a microphone. The HP Elitebook 8560p LQ589AW is also fitted with a VGA port, an IEEE 1394 ( Firewire) port and an RS233 ( serial port). The spaces between the ports are rather small if you wanted to use two fairly wide USB sticks side-by-side, they could conflict with each other. There is also an eSATA/USB combo port on the left-hand side. The USB 2.0 ports are placed on the left-hand side, while the ports with USB 3.0 support are on the right. Expansion options are positioned on the notebook’s two sides: the laptop comes with two USB 3.0 ports as well as two USB 2.0. HP has included every port that you could need in a business notebook. Added to that is 500 g for the 90 W mains adaptor. The weight of 2.7 kg is a little more than usual. The notebook’s dimensions of 374 x 34 x 251 mm are normal for a 15.6-inch screen. The integrated keyboard is protected against spills. The compact case and the aluminium surfaces are also very resistant to fingerprints, as well as environmental factors such as dust, heat or moisture. We decided to refrain from a drop test of our own, since the laptop is on loan to us from Comtech. According to the manufacturer, the notebook will survive even heavy jolting, having been developed in line with military standards (MIL-STD 810G). As it’s a business notebook, HP has done without any further visual gimmicks they just aren’t needed for this model. The workmanship is exemplary and makes the Elitebook 8560p LQ589AW extremely robust. Even under heavy pressure, the material does not give way in the least. The lid that houses the 15.6-inch display does not flex in any direction, and nor does the top of the keyboard. ![]() The choice of materials makes the notebook very sturdy. ![]() It is specially designed for the business customer who travels a lot and is particularly demanding when it comes to outdoor use. The case, largely made out of high-quality aluminium, is one of the highlights of the laptop along with the internal hardware. ![]()
