30bit color on a laptop, that is a quality mobile workstation for any DCC (graphics, video, photos, 3D content, etc), or CAD workflow. The on board display port and eSATA port are a nice touch with the spill-proof keyboard. A 2MP webcam with LED and Dual-microphone array for mobile conferencing adds a nice business touch.
(note: this beast will run with a number of docking station options)
The question for Nvidia: would the Quadro 5000m handle running a second display at 1920 x 1200 and 30bit color, where both the laptop screen and the second display have independent color profiles?
Question for HP: What is the Business Card Reader slot? Is it a built in Business Card scanner; if yes, can it also scan receipts?
Prime, does this have the touchpad that has the buttons built in (touch sensitive on the buttons) that last year's elitebooks had?
god i hate that touchpad, but a friend needs to build one of these for his job. it doesn't look like it but I need to know before I recommend it to him.
I got a look at the new HPs with the buttons built into the touchpad, and let me say I am not a fan. They don't feel right, they don't click right, and they cause the trackpad to seize if you click a button with more than one finger and try to move the pointer.
As an HP to Mac convert (due to "apparent" ease of use and FCP), I gotta tell you, I'm oh so very jealous. The allocation of RAM option sounds like a dream come true. As much as I like a 2 hour theater break in the middle of my day because of rendering... my lips are moist at the thought of what sounds like "on the fly" rendering.
I didn't check out your previous video, did you do that in Premiere on this bad boy? I know you're busy, but if you've got a few minutes, I'd like to sit down with you (or, more importantly, IT) and see some non linear editing and the capabilities of this monster. I just completed a motion animated movie project on my brand new MacBook and it hesitated every 3 or 4 minutes. Nightmare.
The video I made yesterday was not made on the EliteBook. I wanted to wait until I have Premiere Pro CS5 installed and running so that I can test out the CUDA acceleration in rendering.
Looks like a monster.... do you know if there is a integrate GPU in addition to the Quadro and if so, can the Quadro be turned off in favor of the integrated GPU? I know several other laptops are going that route. It can be a GREAT power saver.

If you could PM this to Prime, it would be more stylish too.
