<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'm writing this email on my work PC, a Core i5 HP EliteBook 8540W (Win7). It's now 4 years old (has a Vista sticker :) ) and I'm looking forward to an upgrade, mainly because this thing is _heavy_. Bear that in mind, if you're thinking of going for one of these. </div>
<div><br></div><div>That said, the build quality is good, the display is decent (although I'd certainly want a higher resolution for my own purposes) battery life is slightly above average and it has a three-button touchpad! Linux support should be very good but I have no direct experience here.</div>
