Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the HP Laptop Battery
The HP EliteBook Revolve 810 with battery such as HP EL04XL Battery, HP 681949-541 Battery, HP 681949-001 Battery, HP 681879-541 Battery, HP 681879-1C1 Battery, HP 681879-171 Battery, HP 681879-121 Battery, HP Envy 4-1252LA Battery, HP TPN-C115 Battery, HP PL02XL Battery, HP HSTNN-LB6B Battery, HP HSTNN-DB6B Battery is a business hybrid notebook with a classic rotating hinge design.
Windows 8 has ushered in a slew of new hybrid notebook designs, but HP looks to return to basics with the EliteBook Revolve 810’s classic rotating hinge design. It would be easy to see the business oriented Revolve as a regression, but there’s a certain elegance to its simplicity. With a strong portable design and mSATA SSD, the EliteBook Revolve focuses on providing a solid level of usability in its versatile form factor.
However, with the device costing $1,450 (at the time this review was written) the notebook’s standard resolution display is a tough sell. Is the HP EliteBook’s return-to-basics a step in the right direction? Read the full review to find out.
The HP EliteBook Revolve employs an eye-catching layered design, with its smaller 11.6-inch display dropping off onto the larger bottom portion of the chassis. The magnesium soft-touch finish is comfortable to hold and helps to provide a clean aesthetic. Nothing is really new here; if anything, the device’s twisting display hinge is a regression in favor of a more traditional convertible notebook design. However, that doesn’t stop this notebook from feeling fresh. Where many ultrabooks opt for smooth curves the EliteBook Revolve embraces a squared angular design and stands out because of it.
To test battery life, we used our new PowerMark benchmark in balanced mode. The test consists of a combination of automated web browsing, word processing, gaming and video playback workloads. The test is far more strenuous than our previous test, measuring the machine under a litany of scenarios to better simulate real life use. With the test being far more demanding the scores are understandably lower than our previous benchmark.
In our test, the HP EliteBook Revolve 810 ran for 2 hours and 54 minutes before shutting down after reaching the 5 percent battery reserve limit. Running just shy of 3 hours the EliteBook Revolve offers sub-par battery life for a portable convertible notebook. The device did however score far better in our productivity test running for 5 hours and 21 minutes before shutting down. The discrepancy between the two scores likely is a result of the machine offloading a portion of the graphic workload to the CPU. This means that business users whose workload consists mostly of office and web functions can expect far longer battery life. Just don’t start viewing media and expect the notebook charge to last all day.
Equipped with a 1.9 GHz Intel Core i5-3437U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB mSATA SSD the HP EliteBook Revolve 810 offers a strong level of performance for a convertible notebook on par with most business notebooks.
Basic world processing and web functions prove to be no challenge for the device, as it’s able to juggle multiple tasks with no drop in responsiveness or functionality. The device is also able to take on more strenuous business functions such as Microsoft Office Excel with no drop in performance.
The major limiting factor for this notebook is its Integrated HD graphics. The machine will struggle with graphically intensive functions (HD video editing, high-end gaming) as a result, but that’s certainly not the focus of this business oriented device.
Data retrieval is relatively fast thanks to the machine’s mSATA SSD. Applications load fast and it only takes a few seconds to resume from sleep mode. Boot up speeds proved to be a bit slower, taking around 16 seconds for the machine to go from its shutdown state to the Windows 8 screen.
