Want to defend your life .. Want to make a movie .. need absurd storage space and RAM slots .. need a screen larger than most compact cars .. need a laptop that the kids won't be able to destroy :-) then this is the one for you this laptop is made of magnesium aluminum and steel and feels like it too. Yes it's a bit heavy but you have to full sized hard drive spaces and 3 m 2.5 - 1.0 spaces for upgradability as well as 4 Ram slots. This thing is heavy but it's a workstation replacement meaning it suited more for your desk than portability but it still gives you that option to be able to take it with you in a heartbeat. Even with all its weight and everything running I still get a good three hours out of the built-in battery pack with two mechanical hard drives installed and a quad-core i7.

This has got to be undoubtedly the best computer I have ever owned. I bought it mainly for the speed and durability, not to mention the 2 USB 3.0 jacks and its wire-fire jack. Also it has a back lite keyboard, which is nice, and a very quiet cooling fan. I chose it over the Mac because of the rugidness of the chassis and that the case itself is made of metal and not plastic. The notebook I bought has 16GB of memory, not 8 as it states in the description. However, the Intel Core i7 is correct as is the 500GB hard drive. You can also remove the optical drive and add another hard drive in this slot if needed. I chose to keep it and used external hard drives of which I have 5, that's why I kept the optical drive as it is. I would definitely buy this machine again. If there is a drawback, it is the weight and battery life. But since I bought it to replace a desk top unit, weight is not a factor nor is the battery. I leave it plugged in. The plus is that if I need it to go with me, it can, weight or no weight. You can not go wrong by buying one of these laptops. I wish I had bought one before I bought my last one. I would have saved money and I'm confident that this computer will last for a good long time. If you are on the fence about this HP EliteBook 8770w, I hope this helps you to make the right decision. As for all major purchases, do your homework first. I studied and compared computers for months before I bought this one. I was looking at the HP Envy computers and almost bought one when I found this one. I'm glad I researched for months or I would have made an bad choice since I didn't know HP EliteBooks were so powerful and tough. Not that the HP Envy is bad, it is just not what I was actually looking for. I need the wire fire jack for my video camera. Wire fire is much faster than USB.Read full review
