I have one of those that I found in the trash at a local car wash about 5 years ago. After giving it a chance to thoroughly dry out, I powered it up and other than missing its hard drive, it did post, so I installed an SSD, as well as a clean install of Windows 10, since the previous owner was kind enough to leave the product key, he also included the power adapter in the same trash can. mine has the Core i7 Vpro CPU, as well as Bluetooth and WIFI built in. While my desktop computer can run circles around it, it is a respectable laptop for when I travel, or if I'm "puppy sitting" at my brother's house.

These early elite books have serious driver issues. That’s all I know. I have an elite book 8440p. Great laptop if it weren’t for the driver issues. Constant black screens after waking from sleep. Also occasionally throttles the processor for no goddamn reason to just 0.19ghz. DisplayPort audio doesn’t work either with all but the oldest nvidia driver available and the quick launch buttons do not work properly on windows 10. The IDT audio control panel does not work properly on windows 10 either and the intel wifi occasionally stops working too. worst of all my 8440p had begun showing “product information not valid” out of nowhere and the microphone would stop working when the laptop goes to sleep. So I no longer like the laptop anymore.

It's 2023 and I still have 2 of these I use all the time. I like the keyboard layout, build and to me it is still a solid laptop. I found both used on ebay fully operational for under 80 dollars each. I've been using one of them for about 7 years and the only problem I every had was the adapter went bad, repaced it for 10 dollars.

Recently I purcased a lifebook E780 which is similarly specked (i5-520M), it is well built but it isn't seem to be very robust (compared to my t420). The point I want to make is that e780 runs windows 11 prety good for every day use from an HDD (I will replace it with a SSD). Who would have said that 10 years laptops could have such a long lifespan!

i use one as a linux/windows machine at home along side my macbook i have upgraded to ssd but strange enough the laptop doesn't allow me to upgrade the ram so its stuck at 4 gegs , its snappy enough but the fan runs crazy and the laptop overheats and shutsdown when doing some heavy web browsing, mine is the base core i5 any ideas on how can i make it a little less noisy ? or less overheating m just using it with light op systems like zorin os for linux and tiny 11 for windows 11

Sounds like an issue with the cooling solution. You could check the thermal paste and see if it needs to be refreshed but you could also be coming up against a usage problem.

I know I'm late to the party but I just pulled my 8440w out for whatever reason and went looking for recent YT videos on them. At top-spec, these are still pretty amazing machines. Currently running an i7 820qm, 16gb of 1333mhz ram, 500gb wd blue, oem bluray drive, 900p display and ultimate-n 6300 wifi card. She's hot/loud/slow compared to my modern thinkpad but I still enjoy getting it out every now and again just to think about how much 2010 me would've shit my pants to have one of these. Couple random notes.. There's a 90w and 150w charger. The quadro board from the w will also fit in a p model The manual for these laptops is absolutely glorious SUPPOSEDLY, you can change the top quicklaunch buttons for mail/browser in the registry. Mine refuse to comply. I'm actually amazed the one in the video opened edge, mine opens IE despite Firefox being my default for all filetypes and protocols lol.

About the quick lauch buttons, I'm in the same situation. I've got everything else working but those darn quick launch buttons. That quick launch driver and software is poorly designed. I don't even remember them working on the native Windows 7. I've got an i7-740QM HP Elitebook 8440p, NVIDIA NVS 3100m, 6GB RAM, 1TB Sandisk SSD, 768p display. It's a very pretty laptop with all those LEDs.
