After our test of the 8440w, I replaced Wifey’s dv2 with it since she wanted more power.
She was not, and has not been disappointed.
The EliteBook is very sturdy, is extremely powerful, and relatively lightweight. The built-in connectivity options are enhanced with a 3G card to provide her with constant broadband access when her chauffeur – yours truly – is driving her around.
The bright screen is also a plus.
While priced somewhat higher than regular laptops, the productivity gains more than make up for that.
Honorable Mention
Apple MacBook Air*. This device has received the most impressive form of flattery ever: the creation of an entire line of laptops, called Ultrabooks, by Intel. Coincidentally, the Ultrabooks were all the rage at the currently ongoing 2012 Inter Consumer Electronics Show, commonly known as CES.
