I missed out on the IBM deal yesterday but this one popped up today, seems even better value!
The hard drive seems small at 80GB but they have upgrades and id prefer to upgrade to an SSD anyway.

Rectech have the 8460p and 8470p (check they're not listed as damaged) and SCC Trade get them in all the time.
They make nifty little Hackintoshs.
Really tempted by the 25*0s, but I don't need one (I have an 8470P). If it had been a 2570p at this price, I might of had to bite, for a "travel" laptop.

they have a 2510p for sale (several gens older) for £100 so this is good value. a little concerned that might have dents, but otherwise looks good (voted hot). def v. good, business-quality (compact) laptop.

I have one of these and while the metal lid is susceptible to small dings they still look great. I paid a lot more for my one that this :disappointed:

I have three of my cousins running with the HP 2570p EliteBooks - all three systems are running with Gen 3 i7 Quad Core CPUs and 16GB of RAM for they're respective university courses. For such a small system they are quite nice units and listed below is a link to a really good thread covering the 2570p model range...of course I don't like them myself as I'm a die hard IBM/Lenovo Fan (have maxed out T420 ThinkPad for my needs)! :smile:
For those considering going for the 2560p model range here's a couple of handy links for you to check out - they are relatively cheap to run & upgrade but the only catch is the lack of hardware whitelist removal I'm afraid.
PS - Both the 2560p and 2570p models can support 2 x 2.5" HDDs/SSHDs/SSDs with the use of a 2nd HDD Caddy - all three of my cousins have them, with 1TB SSD (running the OS & Virtual Machines) and a 2TB HDD (for data storage & backups).

Aren't all the **70s whitelist-free? My 8470p is, I thought that was just a universal decision.

My dispatch email also had a discount voucher on it (£5discount) if someone wishes to use it on the website.
