The business notebook market has two types of systems; notebooks and mobile workstations. The workstation-class systems offer faster processors, better graphics options, and sometimes additional features over the regular business systems. In this review we take a look at the HP EliteBook 8540w Mobile Workstation and see how it compares to other systems we’ve reviewed.

The HP EliteBook 8540w performed quite well running off its battery, even with its Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M graphics. During our battery test with the screen brightness set to 70%, wireless active and refreshing a webpage every 60 seconds, and Windows 7 on the Balanced profile, the system consumed between 15 and 17-watts of power. The total time running off battery was 3 hours and 6 minutes, compared to 5 hours and 5 minutes on the slightly lower configured EliteBook 8540p. While this time isn’t anywhere near the insane 10+ hour mark of newer ultraportable notebooks, it is still plenty of time to get through most meetings or a handful of classes in a given day.
The HP EliteBook 8540w Mobile Workstation had very solid performance in our tests, combined with excellent looks and build quality, topped off with an equally impressive sub-$2,000 price-point. Right now the MSRP of $1,679 is the current going rate with sales few and far between. Compared to the standard EliteBook 8540p with a very similar configuration and performance, it’s roughly $300 and change more. With the recent drop in SSDs and hybrid hard drives we were surprised to see no higher performing drives trickle down into the pre-configured models. A slightly more affordable 8540w is also offered with a Core i5 processor and ATI FirePro M5800 for $1,469 for users on a tighter budget. Overall if you are in the market for a Workstation-class notebook, the HP EliteBook series is highly recommended.
