Abstract: It’s very expensive, but this is a well-made notebook with a beautiful screen. There’s plenty of graphical horsepower available and a good range of features to back it up. The size and weight means that you won’t want to be carrying it around too often...

Abstract: It's not often we take the time to look at high-end mobile workstations, but rarely do they have much to offer beyond being big and powerful. Not so the HP Elitebook 8730w Mobile Workstation. For sure, it is still big and powerful, but it also comes with ...
