Does this make the 820 a light-weight that packs a punch, or a shadow of HPs past? Is lighter, better? For example, the Folio 9470m we reviewed less than a year ago was $1,549.Ĭutting the MSRP has required some sacrifices, however, most notably the luxurious (and heavy) metal construction that the Elitebook is known for. Our review unit, which boasts a Core i5-4200U CPU and a 180GB solid state drive, costs $1,274, but this price is reasonable compared to past systems. The new Elitebook 820, a 12.5-inch laptop that offers 4th-gen Intel Core processors, starts at only $874.
Now it appears that HP is changing tactics. This was justified, for enterprise users, by the company’s elaborate suite of security and network management software, but consumers have less use for such tools. Price has generally been to blame, as even systems with mundane specifications often sold well above $1,000.
