How about HP 6930p? HP provides products covering IT infrastructure, personal computing and access equipment, global services, printing and imaging for individual consumers, large, medium and small enterprises, etc. . I believe everyone is familiar with HP notebooks. Like the editor, there are many friends who have already bought HP notebooks and want to buy HP notebooks. Next, let’s take a look at the review of HP Elite Business Laptop.
HP EliteBook 6930p
Reference price: 12,999 yuan.
The design of HP 6930p is inspired by aviation technology
Maybe it is not flashy or ambitious, but it is mature and restrained, both internally and externally. Show your refined style at all times. I believe this is the most ideal image of a business notebook in the mind of every business person. Maybe you don’t necessarily choose to wear a solemn black suit when attending any business meeting? Or maybe changing to a restrained gray suit will make your traditional image show an extraordinary side. Just like the HP 6930p, the metallic gray top cover adopts a brushed metal effect, and paired with the embossed "HP" logo in the middle, it can give people a mature and restrained temperament that is both internal and external, and always shows a sophisticated style.
Although there is no slightly arc processing effect around the top cover, this does not affect the good feel when we hold the HP 6930p, nor does it have any effect when picking up the notebook with one hand. There is a clear sense of decline. Because the top cover is made of all-magnesium alloy and has a honeycomb structure, when we lightly press the middle of the top cover with our fingers, the top cover only sinks slightly, and the surrounding areas quickly decompose the force, making the top cover The original appearance is restored immediately in the middle, so this material and design structure give the whole machine good protection capabilities. In addition, the entire machine also has HP DuraFinish ultra-wear-resistant coating, which can prevent the notebook computer from being worn and scratched.
The matte display screen used by HP 6930p, compared with the mirror screen, will not produce reflection when the light is strong. Although the surface of the matte screen is relatively rough and its clarity is not as high as that of the mirror screen, the matte screen is not easily scratched and your eyes will not be too tired after long-term use. You can still see clearly what is on the screen under strong light. image. Therefore, this kind of screen is more suitable for commercial use. The 14.1-inch 16:10 size is also popular among business people and supports a maximum resolution of 1280×800.
There are built-in microphones and cameras above the display screen, which can facilitate business people to conduct business meetings and remote negotiations anytime and anywhere, and can also record the highlights of life in a timely manner. It is worth mentioning here thatThe keyboard lighting on the right side of the camera has always been envied by many business people at first. This is a very practical function of the ThinkPad when operating at night. Now the HP 6930p also has it. It can be pressed in when not in use, which is also good for the lamp head. It plays a certain dustproof and protective role.
Although HP 6930p continues the classic buckle design of the business series, it is different from the traditional hook buckle and adopts a round buckle design, so that when the notebook is closed, the round buckle design The round cap passes through the slot, and the baffle in the slot will be close to the cylinder, so that the top cover is firmly stuck in the slot. The top cover can only be opened through the switch button on the front of the fuselage. The HP 6930p uses a traditional two-stage screen hinge. The alloy hinge-type damping design with reinforced steel pins allows this notebook to provide a very balanced damping force when opening and closing the screen top cover, and when we pick up the notebook and shake it gently, the screen does not make any abnormal noise at all. Or loose, etc.
Thanks to the design of this type of hinge, the maximum opening angle of the screen top cover of the HP 6930p notebook can exceed 180 degrees. In addition, two situations will occur when opening the top cover of the screen. If you slowly open the button and lift the top cover of the screen, all operations can be completed with only one hand; but for impatient users, two hands are required. Cooperative operation is inevitable, otherwise the keyboard base will stubbornly lift up together with the top cover.
HP 6930p operating experience sharing and weight test
There is a metallic power-on button on the top of the operating area, as well as 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 button lights can bring a sense of technology to the whole machine, and can also help business users relieve stressful office hours. mood. I believe that most netizens who follow HP are already accustomed to the bright keyboard design. Although such a keyboard has a beautiful appearance and feels good to use, it is easy to be stained with fingerprints and left oil stains and sweat, but HP 6930p does not use it. This keyboard design. When our fingertips come into contact with the HP 6930p keyboard, the delicate matte effect on the surface instantly brings a comfortable feeling. For a more detailed description of keyboard operations, don’t be anxious and read down slowly. In addition, a set of left and right buttons are added to the lower part of the keyboard frame, which brings a lot of convenience to skilled business people.
The keyboard operating surface and the frame form a certain sinking. There is no doubt that this is in line with the user's keyboard typing habits, and this sunken design can make the key travel as much as possible. More moderate. The machine's keyboard keycaps themselves are also treated with a matte process, and HP's special processing of white screen-printed characters ensures that the paint will not peel off after being tapped for a long time.
The buttons of HP 6930p adopt a ladder-shaped design, which can increase the touchable area of each button, and the sliding edges around the trapezoid also widen the distance between each button, which can effectively reduce the time required to input quick combos. error rate. In addition, there is a black mouse override lever designed in the middle of the keyboard, coupled with a set of left and right buttons added at the lower part of the keyboard frame, which brings convenience to business people in operation, and at the same time, they no longer need to envy the ThinkPad's "little red riding hood" design. .
The palm rest also has a large area. The rough matte treatment process and the design of the anti-wear coating provide good durability while achieving a better feel. At the same time, the brushed metal palm rest surface has a good skin contact feeling when it comes into contact with the wrist, but it will feel cold in winter. A group of four system status indicators located on the edge of the left palm rest can display wireless network, external power supply, charging status, and hard drive status. And with the logo on the edge of the screen top cover, the current operating status of the system can be clearly seen when the screen is closed.
Considering that business people often travel to different places, we conducted a weighing test on the weight of HP 6930p. Fortunately, the HP 6930p is only 14 inches in size, so users can easily fit it into an ordinary backpack. In terms of weight, business people have to bear its 2.4kg bare metal weight or 2.9kg travel weight. I remember that when the HP 6930p arrived, many colleagues came to "watch" it curiously. Everyone thought that the weight was not light, but it was not too much of a burden.
Detailed introduction of HP 6930p body interface types
Although business notebooks do not have to be as fancy as home entertainment models, the interfaces are naturally not as fancy. Comprehensive, but the necessary daily application interfaces still need to be comprehensive. It can be said that although HP 6930p has abandoned multimedia interfaces such as HDMI and Mini Av-in, the interfaces used in daily applications are involved, and it retains several very traditional interfaces. In addition, it also has SC smart cards, which can provide Important data in the notebook provides greater security. First look at the interfaces on the left side of the fuselage. From left to right are 2×USB2.0 interfaces, IEEE1394 interfaces, Express Card slots and a set of audio interfaces.
The interfaces on the rear end on the right side of the fuselage are the USB2.0 interface, the RJ-45 Ethernet interface and the RJ-11 interface. There is a DVD SuperMulti dual-layer burning optical drive on the right front end, and supports disk surface laser engraving technology. At the same time, HP 6930p also supports dual hard drive mode with component RAID 1/0 technology. The dual hard drive support function of this mode has reached the server level, allowing business people to use the second standard SAThe TA hard drive is installed into the system's optical drive bay. When the application RAID 1 function is turned on, even if the main drive fails, business people can continue to work without interruption.
There is also an SC smart card slot on the front right side of the fuselage. The function of this card is mainly to provide authentication function for notebook users. If the SC smart card function has been set up, then when the user uses the notebook, they must insert the card into the SC slot to complete authentication and log in to the Windows operating system. Without this card for verification, the laptop cannot be used, so it can play a protective role in terms of security. The SC card slot is mainly designed for business users.
HP 6930p also has some interfaces on the front and rear ends of the fuselage. There is a row of system indicator lights on the left side of the front, paired with small icons on the top cover. Without shutting down, users can always observe the operating status of the system even after the notebook is completely closed. There is a snap-on switch button in the middle of the front end, and there is an all-in-one card reader on the left side of the button, which facilitates the use of digital products. There is also a laptop security keyhole on the left side of the back, and a power interface and VGA video output interface on the right side.
Looking closely at the front and rear ends of the whole machine, it is not difficult to find that there is a thin mesh structure at the bottom of the front end, which contains a set of speaker units. The speaker is designed closer to the operator to provide clear sound when users conduct remote video business discussions. In addition, the power interface and VGA video output interface on the right side of the back are also cleverly designed. This separates the interface with connecting cables from other interfaces, which also reduces the impact of complex circuits on the user during use.
Introduction to the simple disassembly and expansion capabilities of HP 6930p
The bottom of the HP 6930p machine is made of engineering plastic, which is not the same as the top cover. The materials used appear thicker. The hardware area at the bottom is distributed in an orderly manner, with corresponding small legends on each hardware plate to indicate it, and there are multiple heat dissipation grille openings that are also processed very finely. From the overall view at the bottom, it is easy to see that the HP 6930p remains consistent with the previous EliteBook series. At the same time, we also briefly disassembled some hardware areas.
Located above the battery slot is the 3G template slot. By gently unscrewing the screw in the lower right corner of the bezel, users can easily add a 3G module to meet their 3G Internet needs. For business people who often travel, this feature is very meaningful. There is a memory slot in the middle of the bottom of the machine, which is also very convenient for users to upgrade the memory capacity. At the same time, there are multiple heat dissipation grille openings around the memory, which provides good protection for the heat dissipation of the memory. The other memory slot is on the bottom right, below the processor fan.
Because the reading speed of "black disk" is faster than that of ordinary products,And the stability is better, so it represents Western Digital's high-performance hard drive. Due to its slightly higher reading and writing performance and good stability, it is often chosen by general high-end users or enterprise users. Fortunately, HP chose the Western Digital "black disk" for the 6930p. In addition, the entire hard drive is fixed in a set of aluminum alloy frames. Relying on "HP 3D DriveGuard" technology, HP 6930p can provide active/passive protection forms. The active hard disk protection measures are also implemented by three-axis impact sensing chips.
As a customary design for HP business models, the bottom of the 6930p fuselage also has an expansion slot for a travel battery and an interface for a docking station. As usual, these two pieces of equipment are naturally optional accessories. It is worth mentioning that there is a SIM card slot above the battery slot, so even if the user does not install the 3G template, the Internet access function can still be achieved by using the SIM type 3G mode.
HP 6930p continues to attack with the "7" sword under the Tianshan Mountains
HP 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 user-friendly prompt function is displayed in front of the user. Operating according to each step of the software's prompts will simplify complex computer settings. In addition, HP Support Assistant software will provide users with assistance in maintenance, troubleshooting and learning, and will even guide users to obtain online help. HP's user-centered philosophy is still worthy of admiration.
Through the HP Advisor function, business people who are not very familiar with computers can clearly know the current status of their computers. If business people encounter a simple computer failure, they can also use the icon prompts in the troubleshooting function to easily find relevant information in each status. This can greatly improve business people's self-maintenance and repair skills, and at the same time It also reduces the trouble of running to customer service when minor problems arise. In addition, the PC knowledge learning function provides guided help in network, computer settings, office, software, technology and warranty aspects.
Compared with the previous basic functions, the HP ProlectTools Security Manager function will appear to be very professional. First of all, the file shredder in HP ProtectTools can permanently shred the hard disk contents, and the deletion level has reached the military requirements. What's even more rare is that this technology can accurately delete personal files, folders and personal identity information. HP SpareKey technology will confirm the identity of the login based on your answers to three personal questions to help open the system smoothly. From now on, you no longer have to worry about being rejected because you forgot your password.The embarrassment encountered outside the door.
LoJack Pro’s theft recovery function allows remote monitoring, management and tracking of computers even after reformatting or replacing the hard drive. If a computer is lost or stolen, Absolute's recovery team will work with the originating organization to recover the important data and files on the computer. The HP SoftPaq Download Manager provides a shortcut for downloading software updates for your computer. After completing the initial setup, you can use a user interface to download various hardware drivers and accompanying software in three simple steps, thus greatly speeding up the search and installation process. The speed at which updates are downloaded. In addition, the VIP service that HP 6930p also enjoys will eliminate all worries. The whole machine will be repaired at your doorstep and one-year ADP accident protection will make your business adventures feel like a leisurely stroll.
HP 6930p hardware configuration introduction and simple test
Although business people do not value the hardware configuration of notebooks as much as game and entertainment players, they do want to deal with The faster the computing power of the computer, the better, because for business people, time is money. Judging from the HP 6930p hardware information detected by Everest, we can see that it uses an Intel Core 2 P8700 dual-core processor and PM45 chipset motherboard, is equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 independent graphics card, and is equipped with 2GB DDRII-800 memory and 250GB Hard drive and DVD SuperMulti dual-layer burning, as well as 802.11b/g wireless network card and Bluetooth module.
Through the detection of CPU-Z, it can be seen that this Intel dual-core processor is made using 45nm process, has a higher main frequency of 2.53GHz, front-side bus is 1066MHz, and second-level cache is 3MB. It also supports the SSE4.1 instruction set, which can achieve better performance in multimedia applications such as video encoding/decoding, graphics processing, and games. This processor also supports the latest generation of SpeedStep technology, which can provide longer battery life while reducing heat generation, providing users with a stable and longer-lasting office environment.
Cinebench is a test that purely uses the CPU to render a high-precision 3D scene image. It only runs once under a single processor and a single thread. If the system has multiple processor cores or supports multi-threading, the second Using only one thread at a time, the second run uses all processor cores and threads. The final single-core and dual-core test scores of this processor were 2816 and 5138 points respectively. It can be said that Intel Core 2 P8700 is the mainstream dual-core processor in the high-end notebook market, and its performance is more than sufficient for daily applications.
ATI Mobility Radeon HD3450 is actually HD3430 and HDThe high-frequency version of 3410 belongs to the mid-to-low-end level among HD3000 series graphics cards. This graphics card chip is designed based on the 55nm process technology. The core code is M82. It has 40 stream processing units, the graphics card width is 64Bit, the graphics card type is GDDR3, and it also supports DirectX 10.1 and Shader 4.1 technology. This graphics card can run current mainstream 3D games smoothly at low image quality. Its main competitors are NVIDIA's 9200M and 9300M series, but it is completely sufficient for ordinary business people.
Through the detection of HD Tune, we can see that the HP 6930p uses a Western Digital 250GB hard drive. Through the simple disassembly earlier, everyone also knows that this hard drive belongs to Western Digital's "black drive", and the "black drive" represents Western Digital's high-performance hard drive, which has faster reading speed and better stability than ordinary products. After we have completed the test, it is not difficult to see that the average read rate of this hard drive is 53.6MB/second, and the burst transfer rate is 116.1MB/second. These speeds are already very good among notebook hard drives. At the same time, there are no major fluctuations in the test curve, which shows that the operation of the entire 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 use the Windows 7 performance evaluation tool and the PCMark05 whole machine performance test The test results of the two softwares are for reference. As for the official Windows 7 Professional version pre-installed on HP 6930p, although many friends think that the system evaluation results are not objective, this software that can use hardware indicators as a measurement standard can still provide an effective reference for the performance trend of the entire machine, especially Its score also directly illustrates the performance capabilities of the current Windows 7 system. Compared with the former, PCMark05 is more professional, and it is very sensitive to the performance of the same hardware in different states. The two complement each other so that we can have a full understanding of the performance of the system being measured.
The Windows 7 system gives the entire machine a basic score of 4.5, which is also the graphics score of the graphics card. Among them, the processor has the highest score, while the memory, game and hard disk performance scores are very balanced. PCMark05 is a software that tests the comprehensive performance of the system. After passing the test, it can be seen that the total score of PCMark05 is 4998, which is exactly the same as the score result of Windows 7. The highest score is still the processor, while the memory and hard disk also have very good results. However, the performance of the graphics card is slightly worse. But for ordinary business people, the computing power of the processor is much more important, and Intel Core 2 P8700 is fully capable of providing ample dual-core power to the entire machine.
If you are dealing with an emergency, a quick startup can more or less help business people reduce their anxiety, and they also like a faster speed when shutting down. We used a stopwatch to test the HP 6930p under Windows 7. After closing all non-Microsoft startup items, the time it takes to boot into the system is 41 seconds. The shutdown speed of Windows 7 is very satisfactory. It only takes 6 seconds to complete the entire shutdown process.
If when dealing with emergencies, fast startup can more or less help business people reduce some anxiety, and they also like faster speeds when shutting down. We used a stopwatch to test the HP 6930p under Windows 7. After closing all non-Microsoft startup items, the time it takes to boot into the system is 41 seconds. The shutdown speed of Windows 7 is very satisfactory. It only takes 6 seconds to complete the entire shutdown process.
In the Internet age, there is a huge amount of information to be read and saved every day, so mutual communication and transmission of information are also indispensable. At the same time, we also tested data transmission from peripheral storage and transmission between local disks. It takes 34 seconds to transfer a 605MB file from the mobile hard disk to the local disk, and 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 144 seconds to transfer between local disks. It takes 431 seconds to transfer a 13.8GB file from the mobile hard disk to the local disk, and 546 seconds to transfer between local disks.
The daily accumulation of files and data will become more and more. The best way to facilitate the overall storage and reduce capacity retention is to compress them. Some files that need to be transferred through the network must be packaged before being transferred to each other. The latter is also very convenient, so we also tested the HP 6930p in compressing and decompressing files, and also listed the average processor and memory usage during runtime. In terms of testing, we chose the software WinRAR 3.90. Although the processor usage is relatively high during compression operation, the overall speed is still satisfactory.
Summary of the evaluation of the internal and external temperature and battery life of the machine
For business people who are often busy in meetings and negotiations, they often go back and forth with their notebooks Between the conference room and the office area, imagine if the items you hold are overheated, it will definitely feel uncomfortable. Therefore, the performance of the notebook in terms of temperature control and heat dissipation is also one of the factors they consider before purchasing. At the same time, the heat dissipation of the notebook completely affects the stability of the internal hardware operation and also affects the user's comfort during operation. However, the performance of HP 6930p in terms of heat dissipation is very satisfactory.
We started and ran all the test software for 2 hours at a room temperature of 26°C (in a heated room), and then continued to use the FurMark software for the copy test. We divide FurMark’s scores intoThe resolution is modulated to 1280×800, the 4X anti-aliasing capability is enabled, and the extreme torture mode is enabled. When FurMark runs for 1 hour, the temperature of the internal core hardware has been basically constant. The temperatures of the processor and GPU are 57°C and 59°C. We can accept these two highest temperatures. At the same time, compared with many notebooks, the HP 6930p has a lower temperature. The control aspect is better. In addition, the temperature in the upper left corner of the operating area and the left side of the bottom of the machine exceeds human body temperature. This is due to the heat dissipation method of the high-speed hard drive, memory and processor at the bottom. This temperature affects the operation when we use the notebook for a long time. Comfort will be affected a bit.
HP 6930p uses a 6-cell 10.8V 4910mAh lithium battery. The cells of this battery are originally produced in South Korea and are processed and assembled in China. We selected the energy-saving mode in the power options and used BatteryMark to test the battery life of the HP 6930p. The final score was 4 hours and 37 minutes, which also shows that users can use this notebook without worrying about its battery life when doing short-distance work or half-day meetings.
Evaluation summary
It can be said that the HP EliteBook 6930p notebook is indeed an orthodox and excellent business notebook, both in terms of design and workmanship. Essential quality for business products. For business notebooks, performance will not be the primary concern. On the contrary, user-friendly design, ease of use, heat dissipation and battery life will replace performance as the main consideration for business consumers.
In terms of heat dissipation, which most netizens are concerned about, HP 6930p controls the temperature very satisfactorily, and in terms of operating experience It also has better comfort. In addition, HP has also done a very good job in terms of software. The whole machine is equipped with software with different functions, from basic entry-level to improving office efficiency and information security, all of which are very user-friendly.
