I have been using an HP Elitebook 8530w for several months, and I can say without reservation that it is an excellent laptop computer. I’ve not had a single problem with it. The graphics are very fast. One feature I missed was an audio signal when the caps lock key was pressed. It has none, and indicates caps-lock status only with a visual indicator. I use hunt and peck for typing, and thus often did not discover for some time that I had accidentally hit the caps-lock key earlier. I discovered a wonderful little free utility DKKeyboardStat.exe ([...]) which solved that problem by making a tone whenever that key is hit.
Great computer.
This is a very fast and sturdy machine with a nice design. It comes with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed, Windows 7 Pro discs for upgrading are included. Several accesories programs can be installed from the hard drive by touching the HP Info Center light (just beside the on/off button) then clicking at the HP software setup icon to select which one to install. The only minor disappointment was that I expected a backlite keyboard but, instead, the laptop has a tiny light at the top of the lid that can be turned on by pushing a button. Probably I misunderstood the information when I read about that at the HP web site. Beside this, I am very satisfied with the product.
