Reviews for the HP Elitebook 2570p-B6Q06ET
Source: Notebookreview.com Archive.org version
As we said at the beginning of our review, the HP EliteBook 2570p isn't the newest or sexiest Windows PC, but it is an extremely appealing notebook for enterprise businesses with a large mobile workforce. The durability, serviceability and expandability of the 2570p are second to none. If you can look past the boxy all-business exterior and the somewhat average performance for its class, you're left with a very useful work laptop.

The HP EliteBook 2570p may look like an anachronism. After all, ultrabooks and similar sleek systems are all the rage right now, if reviews and ad campaigns are to be believed. Sometimes, however, business users need systems that offer lots of flexibility and options while remaining compact. The 2570p should serve those users well.

This range of display format is largely the upper limit for tablets and the lower limit for subnotebooks.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small in size and therefore easily portable. The tiny display has the added advantage of requiring little power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is exhausting for the eyes. High resolutions, which one is used to from a standard laptop, are almost not usable.
The same applies to tablets in this size range.

70%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
