The HP Compaq, HP 8710w 's Top Premium model of the mobile workstation with some of the highest specifications currently available on the market, including options for a Full-HD-screen, Penryn processors more powerful and professional graphics card solution for laptops.
Reasons for the purchase
Once the owners 8510w, I realized that 15.4 "Notebook for a good balance, isn 't exactly a true desktop replacement . I wanted a true desktop replacement machine has an excellent graphics capability, a large and beautiful screen, fast processor and comfortable keyboard.
I seriously considered Dell's XPS M1730 is a possibility very much appreciated, but I decided that I value Statement Under the professional aspect, and the docking station supports more than SLI graphics capabilities and double drive configuration, the XPS. It is also much lighter and portable laptop as XPS and I can take the laptop with me to travel from time to time. The precision was M6300 is not an option for me in about the same price, offers less functionality and a less desirable good, the design of the previous generation Inspiron notebooks.
SPECIFICATIONS
8710w is configurable with a large number of processors, hard drives, RAM, optical drives (DVD / BluRay) and the graphics card (Quadro FX 1600M/3600M). A reader BluRay is an additional option for $ 500 and the Quadro FX 3600 graphics card adds approximately $ 600 to the configuration depending on the region. In the Asia-Pacific markets, the T9500 an additional option costs $ 400.
