$100 is far too much these days for one of these, indeed. I got this one in the video for $5 from a local thrift shop and they should be widely available on eBay and Amazon for $35-$55
Yes, if anything I should be making those videos myself! But nowadays the honest response is to buy a new or used gaming laptop. They really aren’t much more expensive than organizing everything together on one of these
That would have been cool! But I used this laptop mostly for emulation, which it barely handled at 60fps and the real bottleneck was the CPU. I believe these are about equivalent to a brand new Celeron
@@RealElementProductions That's fair, there are good upgrade paths for the CPU, though. I upgraded mine to a 2670QM quad core i7 for about $15 and it made a world of difference with some good thermal paste. I love these laptops, they're well made and they're reliable.
@@RealElementProductions yeah been fixing buy/sell laptops for many years and have a hundred of these era business level laptops ,mainly operational that i guess ive been hoarding ,hoping something would come up giving some value to them ,yet its prob time to send them away to the dumpster
@@DanKirchner5150 You’re not trolling, right? Box them up and I’ll pay shipping if you’re going to throw them away, I’ll make a video about them and I’ll make sure they get into the hands of people who need them
Search “HP EliteBook 8460p drivers” on Google, then click the HP drivers and support link, input your operating system, find Realtek Audio driver, and install
You will need to download the drivers from HPs website, if you’re running Windows 10 it’s possible the fingerprint reader might not work, if you’re unable to find the fingerprint drivers for Windows 10, try selecting Windows 7 on HPs website
Yes, Windows 10 is fully compatible and supported on the 8470p, but will stop receiving security updates alongside all devices running Windows 10. You can install Windows 11 using unofficial methods but there will likely be compatibility and performance issues
These seems much better built than something like an HP envy. Probably because this is a business laptop.
Yes! Compared to many different Envy models these EliteBooks have better hinge designs and drastically fewer cooling and motherboard issues
The express card is also lit!! you can add 3 more usb 3 ports if you buy a usb 3 express card adapter, its 54mmx34mm
@@BeastmodeBeats That’s awesome, wow I never knew such a thing existed
reason i hit this vid is i saw one of these on marketplace for $100 and thought "who would want one of these doorstops ?"

put an ssd in this joint and your back in the game!!!!
@@BeastmodeBeats Oh yeah, you already know :)
could you put some of the video examples you used (such as the egpu vid) and a link to the adapter product in the description?

Do you plan on getting the external GPU add on? That would be cool to see and I know they're about $40-50.

kool just learned some good news today -so u think theres a market for these era laptops ?
Yes, they run cool and are among the last machines natively compatible with Windows XP, the 8460p only with its 2nd gen i5/i7

@@DanKirchner5150 1 is around $15, 5 is around $20, 10 is around $30, 50 is around $40

How do you use the fingerprint reader
You will need to download the drivers from HPs website, if you’re running Windows 10 it’s possible the fingerprint reader might not work, if you’re unable to find the fingerprint drivers for Windows 10, try selecting Windows 7 on HPs website
How much storage we can upgrade in it ?
4TB is probably the most attainable cost wise but I think you can go up to something like 200TB? Maybe more
Can windows 11 work on this PC?
@@jesseezekiel5615 No
Yes, but with some regedit modifications.
@@PLWINXP Too risky. Might as well buy an 8th gen Dell laptop for $50 or so more
@@RealElementProductionsWhy too risky? This is the same Windows 11, but run on old hardware.
P.S Sorry for my bad English. I’m not native English speaker.
Can we doenalod wondow 10 on 8470 p and what about its ferformane after upgrade on 10
