HP’s Ultimate Travel Companion. Optimized for Windows 8 Pro, HP's smallest, light-weight EliteBook offers an 11.6-inch diagonal HD display, business rugged design, extensive connectivity and Intel’s ultra-low voltage processor.
Travel friendly
- Stay productive during business travel with HP’s smallest, light-weight EliteBook. Starting at under 2.9 lb, your carry-on luggage just got lighter.
- The 11.6-inch diagonal HD display won’t weigh you down. The sharp resolution provides a crisp view of business documents and more.
- Work efficiently on a full-sized keyboard, even in dimly lit conference rooms or on red eye flights. The backlit keyboard makes it easy.
- Its business rugged design protects your laptop against the bumps common with mobile use so your PC looks as good as you do.
Work on the road or at the office
- Whether you’re across the street or around the globe, HP’s extensive wireless technologies have you covered. From the included WiFi to the optional integrated HP Mobile Broadband featuring 3G and 4G LTE, you can conveniently access the internet, corporate networks, email and mission-critical information in more places around the world.
- Enhance presentations, reports and more with impressive visuals, using UMA graphics.
- Keep up with your demanding workload, thanks to Intel’s ultra-low voltage processor that also delivers long battery life. Consider how much more you’ll accomplish when worrying less about charging your notebook on the road.
Cost cutting made easy
- Easily share docking solutions with colleagues. The HP EliteBook 2170p is compatible with most docking stations used across HP’s w-, p- and b-series, so you can take advantage of hot-desking without spending more on additional docking options.
- Engage in video conferences, web-based trainings or streaming videos with smooth audio quality that'll surprise you coming from a notebook. SRS Premium Sound PRO also allows you to share crisp, powerful sound directly from your notebook. Forget the extra speakers during your presentations.
Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT)

Protect Your Identity and Business
Intel® Identity Protection Technology (Intel® IPT) protects enterprises from being penetrated by stolen credentials and online user account access with an added layer of hardware-based security and authentication as well as a multifactor authentication framework to manage different authentication methods.
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology

Higher Performance When You Need It Most
Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.01 accelerates processor and graphics performance by increasing the operating frequency when operating below specification limits. The maximum frequency varies depending on workload, hardware, software, and overall system configuration.
Intel® Quick Sync Video Technology

Create, Edit, and Share Video in a Flash
Intel® Quick Sync Video uses the dedicated media processing capabilities of Intel® Graphics Technology to make video encoding tasks—such as creating DVDs or Blu-ray discs, creating and editing 3D videos, converting 2D video files into 3D, and converting video for portable media players and social networking sites—faster and easier.
Conflict-Free processor

Does not contain "conflict minerals": tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.
