I can't think of a single thing that I don't like about this machine, except for possibly its weight and the fact that HP hasn't refreshed their docking stations to match the performance of the laptop. Even the best docking station they have available for this laptop has no modem pass-through, only 2 digital video ports at a time, and USB 2.0 instead of 3.0.
The keyboard on this laptop has a unique design that works and feels great. Its design prevents spills or dirt from getting into the machine.
The new touch-pad is gigantic and works great. There is an "eraser head" mouse in the center of the keyboard for people who prefer to keep their fingers on the keys. Both can be deactivated in the software if you prefer for them to be off while you use your external mouse.
The screen and audio is wonderful.
The hing is solid and firm. Much better than on the Dell's.
The performance of this machine is incredible. I rendered a video in Premiere, while running a various scan, copying a DVD, and playing HD contact from Netflix all at the same time. Incredible.
For the price, this is the best machine on the market. I highly recommend it, or a custom build version of it direct from HP.

Everything was as described. This laptop is everything I thought it would be. Absolutley loving it! If there were any cons, it would be a lack of documentation explaining ALL the features of this laptop. It is a little heavy, but very minor issue for all the benefits this laptop provides.Best Deals for Elitebook 8560P 15.6" I5-2410M
I am a long time Dell customer, who has had just about one of every version of the Dell Latitude in since the C series. Because of pricing differences, I decided to give HP a try with the HP 8560P and am very impressed with it. The design is well thought out, the build quality is first class, and the performance is unbeatable.I can't think of a single thing that I don't like about this machine, except for possibly its weight and the fact that HP hasn't refreshed their docking stations to match the performance of the laptop.

Honest reviews on Elitebook 8560P 15.6" I5-2410M
hp has had issues with their build quality / quality control as of late. Just take a look at my experience with the HP Pavilion dv6-6140us Entertainment Notebook PC (Silver).When my employer informed me that I was getting a new PC, I was hoping it would not be an hp. When the package arrived, and I saw the hp logo, my heart sunk. I got one of these hp EliteBooks. My model is the 8560p, with an i7 Quad Core (2.7GHz), 500GB HD, & 8GB of RAM.
The first unit I had produced BSOD's almost immediately, and repeatedly, right out of the box. It seems tech support ran into a few of these issues, and traced it back to some bad RAM from the supplier. I got a replacement quickly, and the replacement as been going strong with no issues.
The keys are well spaced and have a very solid feel to them. The PC itself is heavy & feels very well made. There is an anti glare coating on the 1600 x 900 display that makes viewing in bright light easy. The web cam is fantastic. The processor is lightning fast. Plenty of connectivity options, except for an HDMI port. This Notebook is a little on the heavy side. It's a lot to carry around, but at least hp was nice enough to include a case. I like the fact that it is ruggedized. The Notebook can handle some abuse. The top & bottom latch together for a secure fit.
Battery life is a little disappointing. I'm lucky if I get 3 hours out of it. I have adjusted the power settings without much of a difference. On the plus side, it runs very cool & very quiet. This silver / gray finish doesn't show fingerprints, or dust, and I like that. Sound quality is very good. I don't notice that the beats audio on my dv6-6140us is any better, to tell you the truth. The fingerprint reader & facial recognition software make this a very secure and convenient Notebook.
Nothing is perfect but this PC from hp is alright. It would be nice if there was consistency to their production. I'd like to see a back lit keyboard as well but you have to move up the line for that feature.
If I had to purchase a PC, I would probably avoid hp.
Just being honest.
Hope this helps.

The Elite book 8460P is an Excellent computer at an affordable price. I have 2 and was ordering another one, (First time from Amazon, for this specific computer) and had plans to order even more. Lots of number crunching power, great speed, good graphics and the company (Where I work at) uses hundreds of them.BUT the Amazon merchant "onSale" refused to complete my order, as they didn't think the UPS store (In Pompano Beach, Fl. USA) I was having it shipped to, was in the USA. In their email sent to me: QUOTE: "are prohibited from shipping products outside US and are not allowed to ship items to any freight or mail forwarder address". I have found another Amazon merchant for this computer and hope I will have no further shipping issues. For the many years I have done business with Amazon, this is the first unpleasant experience... :-( (Obviously not Amazon's fault though)
