The EliteBook 2740p carries a 12-inch multi-touch display that also supports pens, but has a more durable body than mainstream PCs like the TouchSmart 2. A combination of stainless steel outside and magnesium outside helps it meet the US military’s 810G specs for resistance to dust, humidity and vibration.

Inside, the system is also much faster and uses a low-voltage Core i5 or i7 which can last up to five hours on a single battery cycle.   While HP hasn’t given a base configuration but expects the system to start at $1,599 and carry between 160GB and 250GB of disk space as well as up to 8GB of RAM. An 80GB or 160GB SSD is an option, as is a Qualcomm Gobi modem for 3G and a new Ultra-Slim Docking Base ($299) that includes a DVD burner, DisplayPort out and eSATA.

The 2540p comes in at just under 3.4 pounds, it’s considered the lightest EliteBook.   you also eqip one with a full-power Core i5 or i7 chip in addition to the low-voltage i7.   You can chose hard drives between 250GB and 500GB.   The 2540P has a battery life that runs up to eight hours on a standard six-cell battery and 10.5 hours on an extended nine-cell unit. Those using the low-voltage i7 also have a secondary drive bay that can either take a DVD burner, a secondary 250GB drive or an empty space to save weight.

System will start at $1,099.
