Promoted to business class. A premium-range laptop for corporate customers that relies on a processor from AMD - we haven't seen that for quite a while now. HP sees its new EliteBook product line as an affordable alternative for the seemingly omnipotent Intel competition without affecting the quality standard. Will this experiment be successful?

I own the F1Q56ET#ABZ version, which sports 8Gb RAM (single slot, so it can be later doubled) )and 500Gb HDD, and has a backlit keyboard (it should be standard on all models, are you sure yours wasn't turned off with Fn+F11?). Also, I paid 700€ for it at the end of August 2014.
