HP EliteBook is a brand of premium business-class notebooks and mobile workstations made by Hewlett-Packard. The EliteBook series, which fits above the lower-end ProBook series, was introduced in August 2008. The Elitebook brand included mobile workstations until September 2013, when they were rebranded as HP ZBook. The EliteBook mainly competes against computers such as Acer's TravelMate, Dell's Latitude, Lenovo's ThinkPad and Toshiba's Portégé and Tecra.
The HP EliteBook line is engineered to meet military MIL-STD-810 standards for reliability and performance under extreme conditions, namely for temperature, altitude, humidity, dust, shock and vibration. The notebooks feature a magnesium alloy chassis, anodized aluminum lid and palm rests, spill-resistant keyboards, active hard-drive protection and dual pointing devices (touchpad and pointing stick). Earlier EliteBook models featured the HP Night Light keyboard light (similar to the ThinkLight found on many ThinkPads), while in subsequent generations HP has added a backlit keyboard option to some 15" and 17" workstation models. Select models have SSD storage options.
The current generation of EliteBooks was announced on December 2, 2014, with refreshes to the 800 series models as well as a new 700 series. Additional AMD-based models were announced on September 29, 2015.
The current generation comprises the following models:
The Intel-based models were refreshed with fifth generation Core i series (Broadwell) processors, while the AMD-based models use Carrizo processors based on the Excavator microarchitecture.
