\n\tThe EliteBook 8460p and 8560p are each housed inside HP’s own DuraCase, which has met MIL-STD 8710G military-standard testing specifications to combat against wear and tear.
\n\tThe major differences between the 8460p and 8560p are the 14- and 15.6-inch diagonal lengths for the HD LED-backlit displays, 4.56- and 6.10-pound weights and the 8460p boasts a staggering battery life of up to 32 hours.
\n\tBoth EliteBook models support the HP 90W Docking Station and the HP 120W Advanced Docking Station. Additional customizable specs include second-generation Intel Core i7 quad-core processors or Core i3/i5/i7 dual-core processors, up to 16GB of DDR3 memory, AMD Radeon HD 6470M discrete graphics and USB 3.0 connectivity.
\n\tHewlett-Packard is also introducing eight new, budget-friendly laptops under the ProBook umbrella, with display sizes ranging from 12- to 17-inches.
\n\tThe 6360b, 6460b and 6560b sport 13.3-, 14- and 15.6-inch diagonal HD, LED-backlit displays respectively.
\n\tEach of these B-Series notebooks sport a magnesium-reinforced ABS chassis, a 360-degree rubber frame to protect the display, bead-blast aluminum display enclosures, and a spill-resistant keyboard with bottom-case drain ready to handle minor spills.
\n\tThe B-Series is focused on productivity and “ultimate configurability.”
\n\tCustomizable specs include second-generation Intel Core i3/i5/i7 dual-core processors or an Intel Celeron CPU, optional 3G connectivity, and up to 750GB of hard drive space or 160 of solid state drive space.
\n\tThe S-Series and the B-Series start at $579 and $799.
