When we watched an HD trailer for "The Avengers," the blue in Captain America's costume and the red in Thor's cape both seemed true to their shades in the movie, but didn't pop like they do on the MacBook Air 13-inch's screen. However, we still found using the stick more pleasant than moving around on the tiny touchpad.Ĭlick to EnlargeThe EliteBook 2570's 12.5-inch, 1366 x 768 matte display delivers wide viewing angles and accurate colors. It also has only left and right click buttons, lacking the middle scroll button found on Lenovo ThinkPads, Dell Latitudes and some larger Elitebooks. The stick itself is a little too low relative to the keys and its rough, concave surface felt rough on our finger. While we like pointing sticks in general, because they provide more accurate navigation around the desktop than touchpads, HP's implementation leaves much to be desired. Like other EliteBooks, the 2570p also has a pointing stick between its G and H keys. We appreciated the dedicated left and right click buttons, which provide solid feedback, but we wish there was more room on the pad. Whether we were pinching to zoom, performing a rotation move or doing three-finger-flick to browse between photos in the gallery, we often ran off the touchpad without being able to perform the action.
