HP EliteBook 2570p Video Review

[@williampollard4759]

I’m totally amazed at the level of detail that this gentleman put into this presentation. Very very very well done!

[@hughhughes4488]

I just bought 4 of these on ebay for $110 each, and they came with 180gb ssds, i5 2.8ghz processors, 4GB of RAM and batteries, only missing the AC adapter (which are another $6 each). I already bought 2 from the same seller for $125 each, they are AWESOME, they are even capable of Playstation 2 emulation. All 6 of my nieces and nephews (ranging in age from 7 to 10) will be having a PC Christmas. It has bothered me for a while that none of them have their own REAL COMPUTERS, considering I had my own at age 8. Sorry, but an ipad and xbox are not PCs.

[@hughhughes4488]

I own an i7-3520M (2.9ghz) version myself, and I don't notice any difference between it and the i5-3360M (2.8ghz) version. SSDs are a MUST though, like night and day.

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

That's awesome! Great price, and very generous gift. Agreed, when it comes to productivity a laptop is way more complimentary to getting stuff done. Tablets and phones are great for consuming online content and light work, but it's very cumbersome to hammer out long emails, papers or multi-task on a mobile device.

[@DanielAbreu1984]

Recently, I acquired this model (HP Elitebook 2570p); and I am very pleased with the acquisition. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit (Originally it came with Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit, and previously it had Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit). This computer works like a marvel, with the Fingerprint Scanner, Turbo Boost; and Bluetooth 4.0, which I very much enjoy using. I also like its classic look and colours (Black And Silver). If you ask me, I'd say James Bond would've had one like this one.

[@imoldovann]

I recently bought one second hand from a seller who buys them in bulk from multinational companies who scrap them, with a 128 GB SSD and it cost only around $200. I have to say I am really impressed with its performance and battery life.

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

Wow, that's a great price! Glad the EliteBook is working out for you and thanks for the comments.

[@Fistful2923]

Bought this used 5 years ago. Still using it as my main laptop, hooked up to 3440 x 1440 monitor, no issues. Mine is an i7 and recently have upgraded the hard drive to 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM. Shame can't get 1080p panel for it.

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

I haven't used an HP business notebook since 2006 and I have to say after using the 2570p I came away impressed at how nice the build quality and ease of upgrades are, even down to upgrading the processor which most other manufacturers would never think of making possible. Now, I still favor my ThinkPad keyboard and pointing stick but frankly I'm so used to those now that anything else feels strange and an adjustment.

[@elijahbulthuis8856]

Should I buy this, or the Dell Latitude E6430s?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

I don't like the keyboard as much as the ThinkPad keyboard, but then when you've used a certain keyboard for several years it's hard to adjust to any other! HP provides what they call "3D Drive Guard" for the EliteBook 2570p, it's mounted in a special way to reduce shock and does also have an accelerometer built in like ThinkPads.

[@metal571]

thats great, at least they do have hard drive reliability measures. seems like the build quality is fairly solid as well. just too bad about the keyboard, programmers may not be so happy. i'm personally not a big fan of the look of the unit either but that's personal preference.

[@Electric-Lady]

How is the camera on it? I'm thinking of getting a refurb. I'll be teaching online. Thanks for a great review.

[@islander31]

Just got mine and its pretty cool. Thx for the review.

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

The 2570p didn't get too hot in my usage at all, the right side was the warmest area and it stayed well within comfortable range. Workstations are a different story, I don't know how the larger EliteBook "w" series do.

[@jilianjing7549]

i am going to buy the 2560P, the predessesor to this one, as i buy that one with i7 would it be fast?

[@rvreqTheSheepo]

I'm getting a factory new one for 80 euro, feels like a steal for retro gaming 😊

[@atibor]

Where did you get it from ?

[@rvreqTheSheepo]

@@atibor Allegro, polish Ebay clone

[@metal571]

Ugh the lack of a scroll button in the pointing stick button cluster is a deal breaker

[@jamesbaynes6580]

Nice review. Very complete and well done.

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

I agree, that is something I use a lot on the ThinkPad

[@metal571]

but does it have: 1. a thinkpad quality keyboard 2. a pointing stick as responsive as a thinkpad (most HPs and Dell business class machines i've used have much laggier pointing sticks), and 3. active hard drive protection based on an accelerometer?

[@AndyAndrei123]

Actually you can use The expresscard slot to plug în external gpus so yeah. Also you can get any i7 quad core but The problem is the overheating but it can be fixed by limiting The processor to 35w in throttle stop. Also i7 3920xm works but limited at 45w.

[@adrianafayad6774]

Excelent review! The only thing I still couldn't figure out is how to do the print screen. I mean there's the button, but when I click on paste it, nothing happens. Great video, thank you!

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

That's weird, try installing a 3rd party app like lightshot or greenshot to see if that works for doing screenshots when you hit print screen

[@adrianafayad6774]

@@LaptopReviewsDotCom I'll try that, thank you 😊

[@adrianafayad6774]

@@LaptopReviewsDotCom I´ve just tried both, and neither made it work... And Greenshot won´t let me uninstall it, it says it can´t uninstall because it´s running, but it isn´t, I´ve closed everything and still won´t uninstall it... 😐

[@6King6Krow6]

May sound obvious, but have you tried combinations of CTRL + PRT SCRN or ALT + PRT SCRN

[@0w3nn]

Prntscrn to copy, windows + prntscrn to save to screenshots folder. You may need to use the fn key to enable to prntscrn first though. If that is the case, just add fn to my combinations above.

[@metal571]

oh yeah, these run a lot hotter than thinkpads too. it's kind of funny how hard HP and Dell have tried to make their business line to at least match lenovo/ibm's but they never quite made the cut it seems

[@jeremymunene5304]

I want to get a laptop for drawing that I'll connect my graphics tablet to draw on, will it work? The one I found 2.5 processor 320hdd and 4gb ram refurbished

[@jeremymunene5304]

@Blue B thanks man I appreciate the advice

[@jeremymunene5304]

@Blue B Thing is, where I live these gadgets are much more expensive for a refurb6one I'll be paying up to $300😬😬 but thanks for the tips though they are so helpful

[@mattym6749]

What's the brightness like?

[@gabe321]

it's $129 now

[@alunrhys1]

Excellent review, well presented

[@josefzemed6447]

Is it possible to remove the dvd Rom? If so, can you give me the info

[@Udayiplification]

Howmany hours battery backup

[@anaibah8789]

which one is better HP Elitebook 2570p or 2560p for bussiness and programming???i really confuse

[@BensBoringVideos]

The 2560p came out in 2011, the 2570p is just the upgrade that came out in 2012. Besides the 2570p having slightly faster processors, they're almost exactly the same.

[@mikemar3751]

Is this laptop good for ceh?

[@ronin5776]

very nice review thank you so much

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

Thanks for watching and for your feedback!

[@tamasjakaba2941]

can you use it with an external battery?

[@kathyfann]

I wanted it for Email and Open Office and Some Google Maps Will it be ok 👌 I paid $207. On Amazon it’s refurbished

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

Yes, it will definitely be powerful enough to meet those basic computing needs!

[@B.AAlive]

Can I do web development and programming stuff on it ?

[@theswagman1263]

Could you run reasonably new games if you upgrade the RAM to 8 or 16 gb?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

Only if you reduce graphics settings to medium or low. If you have more RAM then maybe playing games that are a couple of years old on high settings is possible.

[@sonisaac9637]

Can you play fifa 16 on this PC (Core) i7

[@RaviVarma-my9mt]

I found one like this on Ebay for 200$ i7 sec gen 8gb RAM 128GB SSD and 1.5GB Graphic Card worth taking it??

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

Sounds like a decent deal, if you're buying from eBay make sure pictures are clear and pay attention to the cosmetic condition as well. You don't want a laptop that's really beat up with a lot of dents and scratches. Also make sure to confirm with the seller it's in good working condition.

[@sarahmoon6876]

Can i play the sims 4 with this ??

[@flushed9335]

Sarah Moon, it depends on your ram and specs, you should search up the minimum requirements for the game as well as the specs of the laptop and compare.

[@allaboutln]

How many Gb for core i7? 4Gb or 8Gb

[@RanmaChanAndKunoKun]

That ease of access, not one screw to get into the case

[@Powerpixel7837]

this laptop better or Thinkpad x230?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

my personal preference is the ThinkPad X230

[@0305976]

Hay! Is it good for photo editing, like photoshop? Thanks!

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

If you put enough RAM (memory) into the laptop it will perform fine for Photoshop, the processor isn't the fastest when compared to the most current processors but Photoshop really relies a lot on memory for its speed so adding say 16GB of RAM will help a lot.

[@PensoLogoCresço]

Can this notebook run some games?

[@blakemurphy3698]

Can you play steam on this computer?

[@MahmoodSaeedB]

I'm watching with this laptop!😂

[@aakziommedia]

Hi, Anybody got a wifi+BLUETOOTH 5.0 card working on this laptop (2570p) ? thanks.

[@kaaslie8184]

is HP EliteBook 2570p - 12.5" - Core i7 good for gaming

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

I would not say it's good, it is old at this point and does not have dedicated graphics. However, it could be fine for playing some older or less demanding games.

[@kaaslie8184]

Laptop Reviews I buy it 😅😅😢 it is HD graphic 400

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

@@kaaslie8184 Yeah, you won't be playing fast moving 3D world action games on that graphics card. Tetris will run great though.

[@kaaslie8184]

Laptop Reviews you are right....... okay what is your about laptop Dell corei5 2450m ram 8 2.50ghz graphic 2gb is it good?

[@therunawaykid6523]

Can this rocket league well?

[@adriancleary2753]

Does it have a HD port so I could connect to the tv?

[@aniel1211]

HDMI

[@jjoksudude4836]

should i buy the 2560p i5?

[@alexromero7615]

did you buy it i just found it for $150

[@RaoulB.]

+Alex Romero mee to, i think i will buy it

[@alexromero7615]

ITALIAN PLAYER 05 it's great i bought a i5 2nd gen and they gave me a i7 2nd gen.

[@CitroenGames]

Alex Romero lucky :D

[@PrincePalmUwU]

I will get this but in Intel I5 is this good for gaming?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

You'll be able to play some older games on low to medium graphic settings, but not the latest Far Cry game or other new releases that use intense graphics.

[@PrincePalmUwU]

eh, that's fine I have a ps4 for those sort of stuff just need to know if it works for like, Minecraft, League Of legends those the only two pc games I actually play on the PC, But someone said built to last is that true? Do you still have it?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

I don't have this laptop anymore, but you could definitely play Minecraft or League of Legends with the Core i5. It's a business notebook so the build is good, take care of it and it will last your a few years for sure.

[@kristiantiiis8119]

can this download bluestack?

[@tkbfanboy3583]

Can this laptop record Xbox S gameplay with OBS ?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

I've never tried that but based on what I know there's no reason why not, you just have to connect to the XBox from your PC and the system requirements are basic, this laptop would meet them.

[@yudianamuharam5713]

thanks man

[@PipingHotBurritos]

how do u open the bottom cover?

[@emarsuanes1718]

Can it handle AutoCad and Adobe Photoshop?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

It can, but make sure to upgrade the RAM to as much as possible since PhotoShop and AutoCad rely heavily on RAM. Having an SSD will help too. The processor is old but still powerful enough to run both of these applications.

[@emarsuanes1718]

Laptop Reviews thank you so much for your response. God bless.

[@ianwanjohi7350]

does it have a webcam

[@MuhammadTariq-fi8vj]

yes

[@ianwanjohi7350]

Thanks

[@aniel1211]

and a small light

[@emanuelberinde9284]

Can i play cs go on this laptop on low settings ?

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

So long as you're on low settings and have more than 4GB of RAM you will be able to play CS on this yes.

[@snipezz2069]

anyways this laptop can run pretty good games example:counter strike global offensive roblox left 4 dead etc

[@theswagman1263]

also is the gpu soldered

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

You can't replace the GPU, it's part of the processor, so no upgrading.

[@rajukuncha]

any one no about this laptop how to connect tv

[@davebalsom3805]

good vd very inforrmative

[@remdelgamers8867]

Can play Cities Skyline smooth? (NOTE:PLS REPLAY YESTERDAY I BUY THESE)

[@LaptopReviewsDotCom]

You really need a dedicated graphics card to run that game smoothly, but the EliteBook 2570p has Intel Integrated graphics so I would not expect the game to run smoothly.

[@jankristofferferrer8155]

Yes

[@MezeiEugen]

Is the display as shitty, pracitcally unusable, as in the 2170p? Resolution is the sam (aka shit) but the screen is half an inch wider.

[@iqbaloctavinsya8483]

how about DOTA 2?

[@param802]

Can in this machine play gta4 games?

[@therunawaykid6523]

OMAR XGAMER 99 really?

[@zragevii4705]

Got one free... the memory died and the guy stopped using it
