HP EliteBook6930p
Reference price: 12999 yuan.
The design of HP 6930p is inspired by aviation technology.
Perhaps it is not ostentatious and ambitious, but it is mature and restrained, both inside and outside, and always shows its refined style. I believe this is the most ideal image of a business notebook in the hearts of every business person. Maybe you won't always choose to wear a solemn black suit at any business meeting? Or put on an introverted gray suit, which will make your traditional image show an extraordinary side. Just like HP 6930p, the metallic gray top cover, with the effect of wiredrawing and the HPlogo embossed in the middle, can give people a mature and introverted temperament, and it is both internal and external, always showing a refined style.
Although there is no slight curvature around the top cover, it does not affect our good feel when holding HP 6930p, and there is no obvious feeling of slipping when picking up the notebook with one hand. Because the top cover is made of all-magnesium alloy and adopts the honeycomb structure of internal medicine, when we gently press the middle part of the top cover with our fingers, the top cover only sinks slightly, and the surrounding forces quickly decompose, so that the middle part of the top cover immediately recovers its original appearance, so this material and design structure make the whole machine have good protective ability. In addition, the whole machine also has HPDuraFinish super wear-resistant coating, which can prevent the laptop from being worn and scratched.
Compared with the mirror screen, the frosted display screen used by HP 6930p will not reflect light in strong light. Although the matte screen surface is rough, the definition is not as high as that of the mirror screen, but the matte screen is not easy to be scratched, and the eyes will not be too tired after long-term use, and the images on the screen can still be seen clearly under strong light. So this kind of screen is more suitable for business. 14. 1 inch 16: 10 is also very popular among business people, which supports the resolution of 1280800 to the maximum.
The built-in microphone and camera at the top of the display can facilitate business people to conduct business meetings and remote negotiations anytime and anywhere, and can also record the wonderful moments in life in time. What is worth mentioning here is the keyboard lighting on the right side of the camera. At first, many business people have always admired ThinkPad, which is a very practical function when operating at night. Now HP 6930p also has it, so it can be pressed in when it is not needed, which also plays a certain role in dust prevention and lamp holder protection.
Although HP 6930p continues the classic snap-in design of business series, it is different from the traditional hook-shaped snap-in design, so that when the notebook is closed, the circular cover passes through the slot, and the baffle in the slot will cling to the column, so that the top cover is firmly stuck in the slot, and the top cover can only be opened by the switch button on the front of the fuselage. HP 6930p uses a set of traditional two-stage screen hinges. The shock absorption design of alloy hinge with reinforced steel pin makes this notebook provide a very balanced shock absorption force when opening and closing the screen top cover, and when we pick up the notebook and shake it gently, the screen will not be abnormal or loose at all.
Thanks to this hinge design, the maximum opening angle of the screen top cover of HP 6930p notebook can exceed 180 degrees. In addition, there are two situations when lifting the screen top cover. If you slowly turn on the dial key and lift the top cover of the screen, you can complete all the operations with one hand. But for impatient users, the cooperation of two hands is inevitable, otherwise the keyboard base will be stubbornly lifted together with the top cover.
Experience sharing and weight test of Hp 6930p operation
At the top of the operation area, there is a metal start button and a black mirror decorative strip. A large number of touch buttons are used on the surface of the black mirror decorative strip. When the whole machine is running, these colorful touch key lights can bring some sense of science and technology to the whole machine, and at the same time, they can also help business users to relieve their nervous office mood. I believe that most netizens who pay attention to HP have long been accustomed to the highlighted keyboard design. Although this keyboard looks beautiful and feels good, it is easy to get fingerprints, leaving oil stains and sweat stains, but HP 6930p does not adopt this keyboard design. When our fingertips touch the HP 6930p keyboard, the delicate matte effect on the surface can instantly bring a comfortable feeling. A more detailed description of keyboard operation, don't worry, look down slowly. In addition, a set of left and right buttons are added at the bottom of the keyboard frame, which brings a lot of convenience to skilled business people.
There is no doubt that the keyboard operation surface and the frame part form a certain sinking, which is in line with the habit of users knocking on the keyboard, and this sinking design can make the keystroke as moderate as possible. The keyboard keycap of the machine itself has also been treated by frosting technology, and the characters printed on the white screen can also be guaranteed to be knocked off for a long time through HP's special treatment.
The keys of HP 6930p are designed in trapezoidal form, which can increase the touchable area of each key, and the sliding edge around the trapezoid also widens the spacing of each key, which can effectively reduce the error rate of fast combo input. In addition, a black mouse joystick is designed in the middle of the keyboard, and a set of left and right buttons are added at the lower part of the keyboard frame, which brings convenience to business people without enviing the design of ThinkPad Little Red Riding Hood.
The palm rest also has a large area, and the rough grinding process combined with the design of wear-resistant coating can provide good durability on the basis of good hand feeling. At the same time, when the palm rest surface of metal wire drawing is in contact with the wrist, it has a good skin contact feeling, but it will feel cold in winter. On the edge of the left palm rest, a set of four system status indicators can display wireless network, external power supply, charging status and hard disk status. And with the recognition of the edge of the screen top cover, the current running state of the system can be clearly seen when the whole screen is closed.
Considering that business people often travel in different places, we made a weighing test on the weight of HP 6930p. Fortunately, the size of HP 6930p is only 14 inch, and users can easily put it into ordinary backpacks. In terms of weight, business people have to bear its bare metal weight of 2.4kg or travel weight of 2.9kg. I remember that when HP 6930p first came, many colleagues looked at it curiously. Everyone thinks that the weight is not light, but it is not too much burden.
The interface types of HP 6930p fuselage are introduced in detail.
Although business notebooks don't need to be as fancy as home entertainment, and the interface is naturally not so comprehensive, the necessary daily application interface should be comprehensive. It can be said that HP 6930p abandoned the multimedia interfaces such as HDMI and MiniAv-in, but the daily application interfaces were involved, and several very traditional interfaces were retained. In addition, it is specially equipped with SC smart card, which can provide more secure protection for important data in the notebook. First of all, I saw the interfaces on the left side of the fuselage. From left to right, there are 2USB2.0 interface, IEEE 1394 interface, ExpressCard slot and a set of audio interfaces.
The interfaces at the right rear end of the fuselage are USB2.0 interface, RJ-45 Ethernet interface and RJ- 1 1 interface in turn. There is a 1 DVDSuperMulti double-layer recording optical drive at the right front end, which supports optical disc lithography technology. At the same time, HP 6930p also supports the dual disk mode of RAID 1/0 technology. The dual-disk support function of this mode reaches the server level, which allows business people to install the second standard SATA hard disk into the optical drive bracket of the system. When the RAID 1 function is turned on, even if the main drive fails, business people can continue to work uninterrupted.
There is also a SC smart card slot in the front of the right side of the fuselage. The main function of this card is to equip notebook users with authentication function. If the function of SC smart card has been set, users must use this card to insert the SC slot to complete authentication and log in to the Windows operating system when using the notebook. If you don't have this card verification, you can't use this laptop, which can protect you from security. SC card slot is mainly designed for business users.
HP 6930p also has some interfaces at the front and rear ends of the fuselage. There is a row of system indicators on the left side of the front end, which matches the small icon on the top cover. Without turning off the computer, users can observe the running state of the system at any time even after the notebook is completely closed. There is a quick-acting switch button in the middle of the front end, and an all-in-one card reader on the left side of the button, which is convenient for the use of digital products. There is also a notebook security keyhole on the left side of the back, and a power interface and VGA video output interface on the right side.
Looking carefully at the front and rear ends of the whole machine, it is not difficult to find a thin mesh structure at the bottom of the front end, which contains a group of speaker units. The design of the speaker is closer to the operator, and it can bring clear sound when users conduct remote video business negotiations. In addition, the power interface and VGA video output interface on the right side of the back are also cleverly designed, which separates the interface with connecting wires from other interfaces, reducing the influence of complex lines on users during use.
Introduction of HP 6930p Simple Disassembly and Expansion Function
The bottom of HP 6930p machine is made of engineering plastic, which is thicker than the top cover. The hardware area at the bottom is well organized, each hardware board is marked with corresponding small illustrations, and many openings of heat dissipation grids are also handled very carefully. It is not difficult to see from the overall picture at the bottom that HP 6930p is consistent with the previous EliteBook series, and we have also simply disassembled some hardware areas.
Located above the battery slot is the 3G template slot. Gently unscrew the screw in the lower right corner of the baffle, and users can easily add 3G modules to meet the requirements of 3G Internet access. For business people who travel frequently, this function is very meaningful. There are 1 memory slots in the middle of the bottom of the whole machine, which is also very convenient for users to upgrade their memory capacity. At the same time, there are a number of cooling grid openings around the memory, which provides a good guarantee for the cooling of the memory. The other 1 memory slot is located in the lower right corner, under the processor fan.
Because the black disk is faster and more stable than the general products, it represents the high-performance hard disk of Western Digital. Because of its slightly higher reading and writing performance and good stability, it is often chosen by ordinary high-end users or enterprise users. Fortunately, HP 6930p chose the Western Digital Black Disk. In addition, the whole hard disk is fixed in an aluminum alloy frame. With HP3DDriveGuard technology, HP 6930p can provide active/passive protection. Among them, active hard disk protection measures are also realized by three-axis impact induction chip.
As a habitual design of HP business models, the 6930p also has a travel battery expansion slot and docking station interface at the bottom of the fuselage. By convention, these two pieces of equipment naturally belong to optional accessories. It is worth mentioning that there is also a SIM card slot above the battery slot, so that even if the user does not install the 3G template, he can still use the 3G mode of SIM type to surf the Internet.
HP 6930p continues to capture the seventh sword of Tianshan Mountain.
Hewlett-Packard has always had a good habit, that is, when the user starts the HP computer for the first time, after the computer releases the system, HP's humanized prompt function will be displayed in front of the user, and following each step of this software will simplify the complicated computer setup. In addition, HP SupportAssistant software will help users in maintenance, troubleshooting and learning, and even guide users to get online help. HP's user-centered concept is still admirable.
Through the HP Advisor function, business people who are unfamiliar with computers can clearly know the current status of their computers. If a business person encounters a simple computer fault, he can easily find the relevant information of each state through the icon prompt in the troubleshooting function, which can greatly improve the self-maintenance and repair technology of business people and reduce the trouble of looking for customer service for general minor problems. In addition, in the knowledge learning function of PC, there are guidance and help in network, computer setup, office, software, technology and warranty.
The function of HPProlectToolsSecurityManager will be very professional compared with the previous basic functions. First of all, the file shredder in HPProtectTools can permanently crush the hard disk content, and the deletion level meets the military requirements. What's more, this technology can accurately delete personal files, folders and personally identifiable information. HPSpareKey technology will confirm the identity of the login according to the answers to your three personal questions, and help to open the system smoothly. From now on, you don't have to worry about being rejected because you forgot your password.
LoJackPro's theft recovery function allows you to remotely monitor, manage and track your computer, even after reformatting or replacing the hard disk. If the computer is lost or stolen, Absolute's recovery team will cooperate with the sponsoring organization to try to recover the important data and files in the computer. HPSoftPaq Download Manager provides a shortcut to download software updates for computers. After the initial setup, by using a user interface, you can download various hardware drivers and software in three simple steps, which greatly speeds up the search and download of updates. In addition, the VIP exclusive service that HP 6930p also enjoys will sweep away all worries, the whole machine will be repaired at home, and ADP will be protected for one year, so that your business can beat the quartet.
Introduction and simple test of HP 6930p hardware configuration
Although business people don't value the hardware configuration of notebooks as much as gamers do, they hope that the computing power of processors can be as fast as possible, because time is money for business people. According to the hardware information of HP 6930p detected in Everest, we can see that it uses Intel Core 2P8700 dual-core processor and PM45 chipset motherboard, loads ATIMobilityRadeonHD3450 discrete graphics card, and is equipped with 2GBDDRII-800 memory, 250GB hard disk and DVDSuperMulti double-layer recording, as well as 802.1kloc-0/b/g wireless network card and Bluetooth module.
Through the detection of CPU-Z, it can be seen that this Intel dual-core processor is manufactured by 45nm technology, with a main frequency of 2.53GHz, a front-end bus 1066MHz and a secondary cache of 3MB. At the same time, it also supports SSE4. 1 instruction set, which can achieve better performance in multimedia applications such as video codec, graphics processing and games. This processor also supports the latest generation of SpeedStep technology, which can provide longer battery life, reduce fever and provide users with a stable and longer office environment.
Cinebench only uses CPU to render a high-precision 3D scene through testing, and it only runs once under single processor and single thread. If the system has multiple processor cores or supports multithreading, only one thread will be used the first time, and all processor cores and threads will be used the second time. Finally, the single-core and dual-core test scores of this processor are 28 16 and 5 138 respectively. It can be said that Intel Core 2P8700 is the mainstream dual-core processor in the high-end notebook market, and its performance is more than enough for daily applications.
ATIMobilityRadeonHD3450 is actually a high-frequency version of HD3430 and HD34 10, which belongs to the low-end level in HD3000 series graphics cards. This graphics card chip is designed based on 55nm process, the core code is M82, it has 40 stream processing units, the bit width of the graphics card is 64 bits, the graphics card type is GDDR3, and it also supports DirectX 10. 1 and Shader4. 1 technologies. This graphics card can run mainstream 3D games smoothly, and the picture quality is not high. Its main competitors are NVIDIA's 9200M and 9300M series, but it is completely enough for ordinary business people.
Through the test of HDTune, we can see that HP 6930p uses a 250GB hard disk of Western Digital. Through simple disassembly, we all know that this hard disk belongs to Western Digital Black Disk, and the black disk represents Western Digital's high-performance hard disk, which has faster reading speed and better stability than ordinary products. After a complete test, it is not difficult to see that the average read rate of this hard disk is 53.6MB/ s and the burst transfer rate is 1 16. 1MB/ s, which is already very good in notebook hard disks. At the same time, there is no big fluctuation in the test chart, which shows that the operation of the whole hard disk is very stable
Basic performance and daily office ability test of the whole machine
In the performance evaluation of the whole machine, we will refer to the test results of Windows7 performance evaluation tool and PCMark05 performance test software. The official Windows7 Professional Edition pre-installed by HP 6930p, although many friends think that the results of system evaluation are not objective, this software, which can be measured by hardware indicators, can still provide an effective reference for the performance trend of the whole machine, especially its score directly shows the performance ability of the current Windows7 system. Compared with the former, PCMark05 is more professional and sensitive to the performance of the same hardware in different states. The mutual complement of the two can give us a comprehensive understanding of the performance of the system under test.
The basic score of Windows7 system for the whole machine is 4.5, which is also the score of graphics card. Among them, the processor scored the highest, while the performance scores of memory, games and hard disk were very balanced. PCMark05 is a software for testing the comprehensive performance of the system. After the test, we can see that the total score of PCMark05 is 4998, which is exactly the same as that of Windows7. The highest score is still the processor, memory and hard disk also have very good results, but the performance of the graphics card is slightly poor, but for ordinary business people, the computing power of the processor is much more important, and Intel Core 2P8700 can completely provide abundant dual-core power for the whole machine.
If you are dealing with an emergency, turning on your mobile phone quickly can help business people to reduce their anxiety more or less, and you also like to turn it off faster. We tested HP 6930p with a stopwatch under Windows7 system. After all non-Microsoft startup items are closed, the time for booting into the system is 4 1 sec. The shutdown speed of Windows7 is very satisfactory, and it only takes 6 seconds to complete the whole shutdown process.

The shutdown speed of Windows7 is very satisfactory, and it only takes 6 seconds to complete the whole shutdown process.
In the Internet age, there is a huge amount of information that needs to be read and saved every day, so it is also essential to communicate and transmit information with each other. At the same time, we also tested the data transmission between peripheral storage and local disk. It takes 34 seconds to transfer a 605MB file from a mobile hard disk to a local disk, and it takes 16 seconds to transfer between local disks. It takes 94 seconds to transfer a 2.97GB file from the mobile hard disk to the local disk, and it takes 144 seconds to transfer between local disks. It takes 43 1 sec for a 13.8GB file to be transferred from the mobile hard disk to the local disk, and 546 seconds for the transfer between local disks.
The daily accumulation of files and data will be more and more, and the best way to facilitate the whole and reduce the capacity reservation is compression, and it is also very convenient for some files to be transmitted through the network to be packaged before mutual transmission, so we will also test the performance of HP 6930p in compressing and decompressing files, and also list the average utilization rate of processor and memory at runtime. For testing, we chose WinRAR3.90 software. Although the processor utilization rate is high in compression operation, the overall speed is satisfactory.
Evaluation summary of internal and external temperature and durability of the whole machine
For business people who are often busy with meetings and negotiations, they often run back and forth between the conference room and the office area with their notebooks. Imagine that if the items they take are overheated, the taste will be very uncomfortable, so the performance of notebook in temperature control and heat dissipation is also one of the factors they consider before buying. At the same time, the heat dissipation of notebook completely affects the stability of internal hardware operation, and also affects the comfort of users when operating. However, the performance of HP 6930p in heat dissipation is still very satisfactory.
We started running all the test software at room temperature of 26℃ (heating room) for 2 hours, and then continued to use FurMark software for replication test. We modulate the resolution of FurMark to 1280800 to turn on the anti-aliasing ability of 4X and turn on the extreme torture mode. When FurMark runs 1 hour, the internal core hardware temperature is basically constant, and the processor and GPU temperatures are 57℃ and 59℃ respectively, which are acceptable to us. At the same time, compared with many notebooks, HP 6930p is better in temperature control. In addition, the temperature in the upper left corner of the operation area and the left side of the bottom of the whole machine exceeds the human body temperature, which is caused by the heat dissipation mode of the high-speed hard disk, memory and processor at the bottom, and this temperature will have a little impact on the comfort of operation when we use the notebook for a long time.
HP 6930p adopts 6-cell 10.8V49 10mAh lithium battery. The cell of this battery comes from South Korea and is processed and assembled in China. In terms of power options, we chose energy-saving mode and tested the endurance of HP 6930p with BatteryMark. The final score is 4 hours and 37 minutes, which also shows that users can use this notebook without worrying about its endurance when they go out for a short trip or have a half-day meeting.
Evaluation summary
It can be said that the HP EliteBook6930p notebook is indeed an orthodox and excellent business notebook, which inherits the necessary quality of business products in both design and workmanship. For business notebooks, performance will not be the primary consideration. Relatively humanized design, ease of use, heat dissipation and endurance of the whole machine will replace performance and become the main consideration for consumers in business.
In terms of heat dissipation, which most netizens care about, HP 6930p is very satisfactory in temperature control and has better comfort in operating experience. In addition, in terms of software, HP has also done a very good job, so that the whole machine can be matched with software with different functions, from basic entry-level to improving office efficiency and information security, all aspects are considered very humanized.
