HP Elitebook 2740p Intel Core i5
PROSHas a button to make the view turn 360 turns 180 each click. Light, Doesnt get hot on the bottom so you can hold like a book and not get burned. Quiet, Has drain holes so if you do accidently spill something easy fix. LoJack available. Not a ton of bloatware some but not a ton. Feels light.
