HP EliteBook 8740w Gets Huge Boost To Graphics

HP's Elitebook 8740w Will Offer Option Of New Nvidia Quadro 5000M GPU

Now here’s a lump of exciting for you, folks–we haven’t heard a lot out of the HP EliteBook 8740w since back last March, but there’s fresh news, especially for you graphics buffs. Seems that the EliteBook 8740w is going to be just a bit more elite with the announcement that they’d be getting the Quadro 5000M GPU added to them as an option.

Now, the interesting thing here is that the Nvidia GPU was only recently announced, but it’s already being slotted in the EliteBook, making me wonder if this wasn’t set up in advance. Anyway, not only is the Nvidia Quadro 5000M getting added to the party, but there will also be some attendant upgrades involved, like 320 CUDA cores, two gigs of dedicated graphics memory, DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 compatibility and even more.

And finally, a bit of disappointing news: the price on this one isn’t specifically available, but the current price on an HP with Quadro is running over $3,000. This in turn means that the brand new iteration of same is likely to not cost less. But still, for superpowerful laptop capability, well, sometimes it’s worth the price.
