Correct - these do not have an actual HDMI port. They do however have a DisplayPort which will output an HDMI signal with a cheapo ($5) passive adapter. I’ve deployed many of these at work. HP does tend to go with DP over HDMI for their business products.
They are a solid laptop, but it’s a shame that these have the standard HD screen and not the higher resolution version.
Got a similar model a year and a half ago for the seam price. However…
Mine had an I5, but it was a generation newer than the i7 on this model.
Mine had 8gb of ram, this one has 4.
My SSD was 240gb, this one is only 180 gb.
The specs say this one doesn’t have a webcam or microphone. The description on my model said the same thing, but when it arrived it had both. No guarantee, but one can hope there is an error on this model too.
The other BIG difference is that mine came with Win 7 Pro, this one comes with… Win 10 Home. Yech. But I guess that’s personal preference.
I love mine. Only problem is that I haven’t been able to get the USB 3.0 ports to operate at speeds above USB 2.0. Annoying, but not critical.
I think my model was a fantastic deal. This one… eh. It has an older processor, less RAM, smaller SDD and Win 10. If you can live with a SDD that small and are willing to spend $30-$40 to upgrade your memory, I guess it’s an okay deal.
Oh, and its a peach to open up and replace parts. Bottom panel comes off with the flick of switch. No screws. And it’s chunky and built to last. Not a commuter model.
No. Not even close. i3, i5 and i7 do not denote the generation. They are performance tiers. i5 performs better than i3, i7 performs better than i5. The generation is denoted by the numbers that come AFTER the i3, i5, i7.
For example:
My i5-3320M is a 3rd generation “i” processor.
The i7-2620M is a 2nd generation “i” processor.
I’ll accept your apology anytime you feel inclined.
Here you go:
The 2012 HP Docking Stations (A7E32AA, 90w) have USB 3.0 ports, while the
2011 HP Docking Stations (VB041AA, 90w) have USB 2.0 ports.
There are other higher wattage docking stations, not sure if you need it. 90w is what came with my 8470P from Woot.
