HP EliteBook 8460p 14 inch Notebook Core i5 (2540M) 2.6GHz 4GB 320GB DVD±RW SM (DL) with LS WLAN BT Webcam Windows 7 Pro 64-bit (Intel HD Graphics 3000)

Good deal. Its arrival beat the estimated delivery date by several days (in December too) & it's exactly what I wanted: a reasonably speedy machine to use for certain leave-it-to-get-on-with-it tasks while I'm on my more modern laptop. Windows 7 is fine for my purposes. Not stylish by any stretch but I wasn't expecting it to be. Battery is a bit knackered, but again no surprise. No signs of significant wear & tear.No bloatware you have to spend ages uninstalling, which is one advantage it has over new machines.Pleased to receive a solidly fit-for-purpose laptop for under £200. :-)

A good laptop fits my needs perfectly, upgrading from an older dual core Toshiba Sat Pro, drawbacks are the USB 2.0 ports don;t seem to work but I'll look into that more later. It's a little slow to boot from the HDD but all in all it is a great step up from the Toshiba. It's a used laptop, you get what you pay for and shouldn't expect any more. The HP Elitebook is an easy laptop to 'upgrade' easy to access all the drives and memory etc... The Elitebook also appears to be sturdy with a nice aluminium feel to it. It's a lot lighter than the Toshiba and appears to be more physically robust too. Other than the low cost don't be too taken by the numbers, as stated above the bits and bobs can all be replaced, add an SSD, increase memory etc... I'd recommend getting one

Well packed, clean and started no problems straight out of the box. Would have given five stars but one of the 4 USB ports is damaged - something I'll live with. DVD drive also took some software 'fiddling' to get to work properly - wasn't reading burnt discs originally. Downloading and running Nero Discspeed fixed the problem (was suggested online) - though apart from working the drive hard I have no idea why!

Got this as an urgent replacement for a 6-year old 13" Vaio that went on the blink. Needed something smaller than the regular 15.6" models, but with plenty of oomph to run GIS, image processing, big complex spreadsheet models, edit huge reports etc. Received quickly, under stated delivery (less than 48 hours from order) and all seems to be good. My 3 stars come because system was older than I expected. I understand used, but there is used and well-used, and this falls into the later category. The only date I could find was on the battery pack, which gave 2012, so the system is 4 years old. As notified, there was an external scratch, nothing to worry about. More serious, on the keyboard around the touch stick, the letters G, V, B all had some yucky deposit or visible wear. Came as advertised with Windows 7 professional which I updated to Win 10 professional for compatibility with my other systems, no problem with that. Also came as promised with 500 GB HD as promised, 4 GB RAM etc. I have yet to use it seriously on the road, so we will see how the performance is, but I think it will be OK for what I need - a portable machine with good performance, not too big, at a price I won't cry over if it gets nicked, driven over or etc. Would I buy again? I will double check the age of the machine before doing so, and it would save time if that info was up from online.

I received this within 36 hours so a great start. I checked the new cost on the hp sure and it showed £1240 so great value! It is quick and I mean really quick. The USB didn't work on the right and the seller called me immediately and guided me to install the drivers. I wish I could give more stars!! Thank you so much! :-)

Very happy with this so far. Everything works as it should. No, it’s not the latest and greatest, but at this price it’s great.EDIT: After owning this for a while, I’ve now discovered that this laptop is NOT as advertised. The CD/DVD drive is a read-only drive, not the stated DVD/RW. Not impressed.

I don't normally purchase HP products, after a bad problem I had with one of their printers. I much prefer the T series ThinkPad. but this elitebook 8460p was a good price for a second laptop just for running M$ Windoze. the build quality on this elite book is excellent. it is very sturdy and obviously built with business in mind. The unit I received from marketplace seller was in terrific condition. The model I received, had a slightly lower spec processor. I ordered i5 2540m 2.60GHz - but actually received i5 2520m 2.5GHz. the rest of the specs were as listed. this CPU still scores in excess 3550 in cpu passmark Not bad for an older machine. this laptop has USB 3.0 ports, FireWire, USB 2.0 Ports, DVD writer, modem, card slot (express card) and a few other ports not mentioned. The only omission appears to be the lack of a HDMI or display port. my model arrived with a radeon graphics card outputting at 1600x900 rather than the stock 1366 x 768. so that was a nice bonus. the keyboard isn't great, as I am not fan of the island style keys and silly layout of the arrow keys may prove to be a problem in the future. The stick pointing device is okay but not as responsive as the red nipple on the T series ThinkPads. I don't use the touch pad very often however this appears to be the only way to scroll down without using the keys, as there is no scroll button near the pointing device – just left and right mouse click.Ihave taken out the 4gb Ram, replaced it with 16 GB (two sticks of 8GB) that was on sale at crucial for less than 60 quid. I have also replaced the hard drive with an SSD that was a good price here on Amazon a few weeks ago. This Isn't that bad machine for 199. After I factor in the upgrades, (£60 for the RAM and £40 for the 240 gig SSD) then my total investment here is to £299. I know I could have got a cheap plastic laptop from one of the big chain stores such as Currys or PC World – but that we have only bought me a lower spec machine possibly an AMD processor and eight GB of RAM and a screen of lower quality. Overall, not a bad laptop and the seller was terrific. The seller packaged the product very well and they shipped quickly. If the seller has, in the future, any T series ThinkPads - then I would definitely order again.
