Longer battery life could be achieved by turning the monitor brightness down. In tests of real world battery life, the workstation was able to run for two hours at 100 percent charge.

The DreamColor LCD option is an additional $800 versus the standard 1080p LCD option. The other advantage to having an LED backlight is it consumes less power, which in turn increases battery life.

In short, the DreamColor LCD is brighter and has custom adjustments for more accurate color.

The goal of DreamColor is to eliminate this the image seen on the LCD is close to the image seen when printed or on the TV. Attempting to configure a standard LCD to look the same as a printed image can be a major ordeal and true representation can rarely be achieved. For a video/image editor, accurate color can be a big deal. For the average user this isn’t a huge advantage. There is even a setting to adjust the color temperature. The HP Mobile Display Assistant 2.0 lets you select preset color ranges like AdobeRGB, sRGB, Full/Native, etc. What this means is on top of the color range the LCD can display, the backlight can be adjusted to provide more accurate color. The major difference between a standard LCD and an HP DreamColor LCD is the LED RGB backlight. One of the features this workstation boasts over other workstations is HP DreamColor technology. The LCD comes with an optional HDintegrated webcam, so you can shoot video from your workstation! You can view it all on a 17.3″ LED backlit DreamColor HP FHD. The workstation supports many types of media and has lots of plugs to support various devices like: two USB 2.0, two USB 3.0, DisplayPort, eSATA, FireWire, VGA, Blu-ray, DVD, and even a SD/MMC memory card reader. For data storage there are two 320GB 7200 rpm Seagate drives, which is one of the least impressive components and this creates a bit of a performance bottleneck. Only a couple other graphics cards even have 4GB of memory.

Now the question is: how many 1080p videos can you have open at once to use it all? The new NVIDIA Quadro 5010M comes with 4GB of memory and has 384 CUDA cores. The workstation comes with 16GB of DDR3 1333 RAM. But with the four physical cores and eight hyper-threaded cores the turbo boost isn’t really needed. The CPU is a quad core Intel Core i7 2820QM 2.3ghz capable of 3.4ghz on turbo boost. Internally, the workstation has all the latest and greatest hardware. The biggest design drawback is the large three-button mouse pad finding the right-click can take some getting used to. The unit even comes standard with a fingerprint reader for quick and secure logins. The illuminated keyboard makes typing in the dark easy. All the I/O ports, like USB, are conveniently labeled and located. The 8760w has a nice clean brushed metal look and a relatively seamless design with a screwless removable under panel allowing easy access to the hard drive, memory, and optional add-in cards. The HP 8760w we received has all the bells and whistles that HP currently offers, showcasing the raw power that these workstations are capable of. The base cost for the quad core model is $2,099 and $1899 for the dual core models. The HP EliteBook 8760w is HP’s current top of the line mobile workstation.
