Design

As with the HP EliteBook 8460p, the 2560/2570p sports a platinum-colored DuraCase design. The lid's bead-blasted brushed-aluminum finish with a slightly raised HP logo exudes austere elegance and cuts down on unsightly fingerprints and smudges. The interior deck is also done in brushed aluminum and houses a black matte keyboard. The gray touchpad and mouse buttons add subtle contrast. We especially liked the engraved EliteBook logo located directly below the keyboard and found ourselves continually running our finger over the delicate detail. You'll find a fingerprint reader to the left of the touchpad.

Keyboard

It was a pleasure typing on the EliteBook's black matte island-style keyboard. Sitting in a slightly recessed deck, the large flat keys were generously spaced and provided firm feedback. However, the Enter and Up and Down keys are on the small side. We were hoping for a backlit keyboard; a small LED light located next to the webcam pops out to shed some light, but we found that only a small portion of the keyboard was illuminated. The power button sits above the keyboard in the top left corner, while buttons for Wi-Fi, launching Internet Explorer, and muting the sound are on the right.

Display and Audio

The EliteBook 2560/2570p's 12.5-inch matte, anti-glare display is great for working both indoors and outdoors. Although images were bright and vivid as we watched The Green Hornet DVD, we had to tilt the display back to prevent image washout. We noticed that the horizontal viewing angles were narrow as well. Adjustments aside, Jay Chou's red sweater popped against the backdrop, as did Seth Rogen's green leather jacket. Streetlights danced gracefully along the Black Beauty's sleek chassis as it patrolled the streets looking for criminals.

Ports and Webcam

The right side of the EliteBook 2560/2570p houses a USB 2.0/eSATA port combo, a 2-in-1 card reader, an Express Card/34 port, a combo headphone/mic jack, a secure lock, and a docking connector for the HP 2560 Series Docking Station. A Smart card reader, a DVD burner, modem, and an Ethernet jack sit on the left, while an additional two USB 2.0 ports (one of which can charge devices) and a VGA port reside in the rear. Too bad this ultraportable doesn't support the faster USB 3.0.
