We received an HP EliteBook 2570 laptop computer for review here at AbsolutelyWindows on January 31, 2013.

The EliteBooks are a series of business notebooks and mobile workstations from HP that aim to help field the performance gap in the transition or movement from desktops to laptops.

This unit is no exception. It comes to us sporting an Intel Core i5 processor at 2,5 GHz, 4GB of RAM, 500GB hard drive, a 1366x768 display, and Windows 8, of course.

In looks, it is similar to my venerable HP EliteBook 2740p Tablet PC, however with a sleeker countenance. It also has a similar feel to that device, despite sporting an internal optical bay.

A preview should follow shortly, and as usual, I have designed a grueling review regimen for it over the next three months.
