• HP Elitebook 8730w Mobile Workstation - Date: May 4, 2010
- User Rewiew - "I bought this laptop at the end of last year because I needed another tax deduction. I didn't really think it would be something I'd use all that much for another year or two because I got it with Windows 7 64-bit. I work as a software engineer, independent contractor. Most of my clients still use programs that are not compatible with Windows 7.
I was sure surprised at what a great machine this turned out to be. Part of the reason is because Windows 7 has the XP virtual PCs (as a free download from Microsoft), which are so well integrated, unlike previous versions of Virtual PC. So I setup several XP virtual PCs, configured for different clients. Having the 8 GB of RAM allows me to run 2-3 virtual PCs at the same time, no problem. I'm using XP in virtual PCs most of the time, rather than being in native Windows 7, and it works great. You can't even tell that you're in virtual PC, since it runs so fast and smooth.
