@@MikeDancy I suppose I'm an HP fanboi (when it comes to prebuilt... I mean, custom is always number 1) and I'm also partial to the 9470m from the same period.
I bought this laptop, used, 4 years ago - 12GB RAM 1 TB Storage. Not a single problem to date! I mostly use it for work but It can handle a few good games. I can run Sims 4, Counter Strike and GTA 5 at low settings. Newer games not so much. It is really bulky, so a chore to carry around and does not really look too impressive next to the sleek thin models at work. But it is very reliable in my experience.
If you do get one with a dedicated graphics card, and you purchase this for around 150 USD. Well then what you have is a budget gaming laptop. And you're also 2012 rich because these were expensive when released.
Yes Hp 8570p elite laptop i love it very hard working i7 cpu quad core 16GB ram 480GB solid state drive .I love my laptop with a little bit more weight.
I have one of these I bought and upgraded with an SSD and some extra RAM over time. I also have a USB soundbar, as I found the built in speakers abyssmal. I used it for the entirety of my paralegal 2 year program, as well as to watch DVDs and stream videos.

Yeah, it's a bulky machine that feels solid. I also have a 8460 i7 that I've been reviewing. I plan on keeping it since it's so comfy to type in and still pretty powerful even though it's 10 years old. Plus Linux helps :)

Hi Mike just a correction on the sim card. You have to remove the battery then you get the sim card slot at the back inside the battery bay. Have my old 8570P from 2013 and only issue picked up is with the CPU cooling heatsink. I gave my daughter my new 18 month old HP and back to my "prehistoric" 8570p. Just much smoother than the new one running up to nine open apps at a time with 16Gb memory.
Mine is not working. The screen is completely black but I hear the fans and everything running. I tried and external monitor but it says input not recognized. I tried swapping RAM with other spares and still not working. I tried changing the CMOS battery and still not good. Where is the graphics card for this? I think it may be it but I do not know where it is.
Above the smart card reader there is an Express Card slot u can use it for external EGPU Grafikcard ; ) I love this laptop I use this laptop with 16GB Ram and i7 3740QM Cleaning and upgrade is super easy ^ ^
I got one of these when I was desperate, mine came with a radeon graphics card which gave me the needed display port to run my cintiq for digital art. This thing worked great, and at very low voltage, granted mine is an i5-3something. Great little computer considering I got it for $150 refurbished. I eventually upgraded to a budget computer, but I miss having a janky little computer, and am down grading back to this laptop until I get a optiplex 9020sff setup to be my digital art station. The best thing about this lap top is the keypad, because I love using it while doing excel sheets, and even better is it cannot play games, because otherwise that's all I'll ever do.
the little space on the front is for the bluetooth module, if you do not have one built in to the wifi card. The Sim slot is in the battery compartment
I have this laptop too however unfortunately ive been having various problems with it, mostly with thermal throttling/shutdowns worst of all recently it does not even turn on. The lights come on but no screen or any sign of life of the CPU doing anything, just the hum of the fan and thats about it. Ive tried doing BIOS recovery via a USB flash drive and it worked but about 2 months later and the same issue came back and i tried the same method and now it does not work. any solutions?
I have an 8560p, I've upgraded its motherboard to a 8570p of this model (686970-001). Nearly everything is compatible, except for the processor (Sandy to Ivy), and the daughter board that provide the audio port and the two usb port on the right side). Work great, especially with a I7 quadcore. On Aliepress finding part at very good price is easy ! (way more than Amazon).
I have one of these but its bios locked. I can get into the os but i cant change bios settings. For some reason the previous owner disabled the dedicated graphics and has it running on the integrated graohics. I want to swap in a 1060m but i am unable to switch the video source. Wont let me do it in wondows.
I have a 8570W and a 8470W that I use religiously for DJing and I've upgraded both of them with SSDs. Both i7s with 8 gigabytes of RAM. Will probably never replace them as long as they keep working. I wish HP would rerelease these in a same design but slimmer form factor. Very fast computers both on Windows 10 pro.
The w series also has dedicated graphics cards provided by either Nvidia or ATI 1gb or 2gb depending on the specifications of the model you get. My 8470W has 1 GB of dedicated ATI graphics and my 8570W has 2 gigabytes of dedicated ATI graphics. I play Grand theft Auto on both of them and it plays them very well.
I have its little cousin, the 8460p. I have the second gen quad-core i7 in here, 16GB of RAM and a 240GB SSD, and believe it or not, Windows 11. I've had no problems with drivers apart from the fingerprint scanner. For that, I had to use a Lenovo driver because it was the same module. The only real complaint I have is the display, the viewing angles are absolutely abhorrent.
I bought an 8460w yesterday with the same i7 quadcore, Eight gigs of ram but it has a 500gb hhd and the only thing wrong with it is the same thing it doesn't recognize the fingerprint module Is it even worth fixing
Hello Mike, I own one of these and recently got myself an additional thinkpad, because I wanted to install Linux mint on it, next to a windows system. Windows ran fine on it, but under linux it seems impossible to control fan speed and it can´t get this quiet enough to work on it. Now I am pondering to use my old HP instead and trying a double boot, maybe fan speed is controlable with linux on the HP? Lenovo seems to be impossible to manage that.....
I have this laptop too, I want install windows 11 but it’s not compatible because I have TPM 1.2 and I need 2.0 , how can I upgrade to TPM 2.0 It doesn’t work with bios Thank you so much.
I have this from someone else, mine has a very dull and liveless display, the screen isn’t too bright. My old asus x45c even have a brighter display, the 8570p is hd+ btw. Do yours display is good, please let me know
