Underexposed. HP's Elitebook 2570p is a subnotebook that bucks the trend towards increasingly lighter and slimmer systems. Its sturdiness, durability, battery life, performance, and communication interface options seem to make it the perfect ultra-mobile companion for professionals. We uncover the shortfalls of the notebook in our review.

regarding the lower than expected graphics performance - was this a single channel memory configuration? if so, 20-30% lower than normal is about what I would expect. OEMs really need to make dual channel a standard (or you need to ask for/upgrade to dual channel); otherwise graphics performance will suffer.
Laptop has a USB 3.0 port. Something you would have known if you actually had the device in hand in order to surmise a proper review.
Great Notebook! Maybe one of the best ever build (I had a lot) Fast & solid.
For 2 years I travelled around the world with it, I bumped it, mistreated it but it is still like new.
