    Do EliteBooks have page scrolling capabilities with the trackpoint?

  2. efjay says:

    Don’t think they come with a trackpoint.

  3. inco says:

    They have a trackpoint, but at least the 14 inch models have only two buttons with it. Not sure about 15.

    No 10 key
    No DVD drive
    Does not look near as rugged as the 8560p
    Not a business notebook in my book.

    The advantage of computers and its related technology has
    made a lot of adjustment and changes in the business sector but in a
    very good way. Apple batteries need a cycle of discharging to 3%
    and then fully charging twice a week. In
    conclusion, Asus is the brand to go for reliability, and they even put out laptops with
    decent specs.
