New HP EliteBooks: Power for your business. Prices and availability for other regions have not yet been announced. The 810 EliteBook Revolve G2 will be available in the United States on December 20th. The compatibility with a docking station only sweetens the deal. So while it may not be quite as thin ( 0.87 inches) or light ( 3.08 pounds) as some of its competitors, the MIL-STD 810G rating and data security features offered here certainly have their appeal. With business users clearly in mind, HP designed its new Elitebook to be surprisingly rugged and included Gorilla Glass 3, a spill resistant backlit keyboard, and an all magnesium chassis. It's offered with a range of different Windows OS options, though the touchscreen and tablet modes make Windows 8.1 a logical choice. The G2 features an 11.6-inch 1366 x 768 anti-glare display, an Intel Haswell processor (Core i3, i5, or i7), Intel 4400 graphics, up to 12 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of internal storage, optional 802.11ac wifi, optional LTE, 2 USB 3.0 ports (1 charging), 1 Ethernet port, 1 DisplayPort 1.2, a side docking connector, a microSD slot, and DTS Studio Sound Audio. The 810 EliteBook Revolve G2 brings a long list of improvements to the convertible we saw earlier this year. The new products range from a new desktop to a new display, and includes updated versions of several earlier models. A better panel is not available at extra cost either.HP announced a list of new devices in Barcelona recently. We expected at least a Full HD screen here. Considering the device's price, this is unjustifiable. Fundamentally, the display they chose is a good one (bright, high-contrast, good color values), but the resolution is only 1366x768 pixels. HP used the same panel in this computer as in their Ivy Bridge model. Unfortunately, just like its predecessor, the Haswell model's display deserves some criticism. The EliteBook's hard drive has changed as well: While the Ivy Bridge model housed an mSATA Solid State Drive, HP equipped their Haswell model with an SSD in M.2 format. The new CPU helps the computer keep cooler, reduces the system's energy consumption rates and lengthens its battery life. The new EliteBook surpasses its older sibling in several areas, mostly thanks to its Haswell processor. We will therefore focus in our verdict on the differences between the two devices. With its many identical components, the HP EliteBook Revolve 810 G2 offers all the advantages of the Ivy Bridge predecessor model we reviewed in 2013. In normal use, throttling will not occur. All in all, the Core i5-4300U processor achieves good benchmark results. A look at the results confirms this to us. However, there is one small difference: If both CPU cores are in use, the Core i5-4300U processor's maximum clock rate is 2.6 GHz, while the Ivy Bridge processor worked at 2.7 GHz. Overall, the Core i5-4300U processor is supposed to deliver results that are about 5 to 10% better than the Core i5-3437U - at the same speeds. As a result, these two processors make an easy direct comparison. The Haswell processor runs at the same base clock rate and the same maximum turbo speed as the Ivy Bridge CPU in the EliteBook's predecessor model. In battery mode, the processor executed both tests at 1.9 GHz. The processor's full performance is available in AC power mode the device completed the Cinebench benchmark's single-thread test at 2.6 GHz and the multi-thread test at 2.5 GHz. Using turbo, the processor can kick up its speed to 2.6 GHz (two cores) or 2.9 GHz (only one core). It has two cores and runs at a base speed of 1.9 GHz. The EliteBook is equipped with a Core i5-4300U processor (Haswell architecture).
