HP has made another office notebook which sets the standard for the competition in many respects with the 6570b. The first thing that stands out is the manufacturing quality. With aluminum and a comprehensive array of features and powerful components the 15 -inch notebook fits like a tailor made suit. On top of this, the bright display with a high contrast ratio and its anti-glare surface should make for a useful companion on the move. A further advantage is the bigger than usual selection of interfaces,
Case
The anthracite colored case has been adopted from the older ProBook 6560b without any changes, with the good manufacturing quality and the high quality materials which are definitely pleasing. The display lid is made of shiny pearl aluminum which is slightly concave towards the edges, and relatively sensitive in terms of fingerprints or other smudges. It also has a narrow inlay underneath which the wireless antennae that are concealed in order to ensure that good WLAN connectivity is not impaired by the aluminum cover. The lid is rigid and is held in place by stable hinges which only teeter marginally when moving the display or as a result of shocks. Furthermore, annoying reflections on the matte display remain limited. The hinges are not too stiff to allow the notebook to be opened without lifting the base unit, while a sliding mechanism at the top of the display frame releases two locking hooks which hold the display securely closed. Display
The business series HP ProBook 6570b has a 15.6-inch (39.6 cm) display with a 16:9 aspect ratio, that uses LED backlighting. The maximum resolution of the HD+ LG Philips LP156WD1-TLD3 panel is 1600 x 900 pixels. There is something interesting for people who use multiple monitors. With an external monitor, it is possible to get a maximum resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixels via the DisplayPort. Using the HDMI or VGA ports, a maximum resolution of 1980 x 1200 pixels is possible. More than three external monitors cannot be connected. The anti-glare surface of the display makes it less susceptible to reflections from direct light, so use outdoors or in bright rooms should not pose a significant problem, especially since the average brightness is 270.8 cd/m². In the middle of the display, our measuring device, the X-Rite i1Pro determined a maximum brightness of 310 cd/m², and while this value falls by up to 30 cd/m² towards the corners, it shouldn't be obvious during daily use.
