#Elitebook 8540w bluetooth driver windows 7 64 bit keygen#
The touch pad has multitouch support, but with it being so small, it's not always the easiest to use. Each has a set of three buttons for left and right clicks and scrolling up. If you're the type not to carry a smartphone or have one but want fast access to all your messages, appointments, and contacts-past and present-it's a valuable addition.īelow the keyboard is a disappointingly small touch pad (also clear-coated to reduce wear), though it is joined by a pointstick. We're still not sure anyone uses these preboot environments-especially with Windows 7 booting reasonably fast-but it's there if you want to give it a try. The e-mail and Web keys work when the system is completely shut down by opening HP's QuickLook 3 for reading e-mail and contact information from Outlook and QuickWeb for simple Web surfing. Above the keyboard are touch-sensitive keys for turning the touch pad and wireless on and off launching a calculator and e-mail and Web applications and volume and mute controls. It's not a backlit keyboard, but HP built in a small pop-out LED lamp above the LCD next to the 2-megapixel Webcam that provides enough light to make working in the dark possible. The keys are clear-coated to reduce wear and the keyboard is spill-resistant and has drains should something spill on it. The DuraKey keyboard is extremely comfortable to use, with good response and no flex while typing. It's definitely made to take the abuse of travel, though our review system's travel weight was 9 pounds, 2 pounds of which is the power brick. To protect against bumps and drops, the 3D DriveGuard uses a three-axis digital accelerometer that parks the hard drive to minimize damage to your data. The display enclosure is a magnesium shell bonded to anodized aluminum able to withstand up to 300 pounds of pressure. HP's DuraCase chassis design is constructed from a magnesium alloy with scratch-resistant anodized aluminum surfaces and metal alloy hinges with hardened steel pin axles.
HP touts that it's built to meet military standards (MIL-STD 810G) for vibration, dust, humidity, altitude, and high temperature, but you wouldn't know it from its stately appearance. What's nice about the design of the EliteBook 8540w-and its 17-inch linemate the 8740w-is that it doesn't look like a rugged notebook despite being, in fact, very rugged.
