Hi,

 

There are many differences depending on the product (ie model) which is a combination of many options (CPU, RAM, video card, display ...) . You can config 2 machines which are very close and you can't see which one is which. Basically the p machines are for portable and lighter, the w machines are for workstation and could be heavier. Here are 2 datasheets:

Hope this helps.

Hi:

 

Below is the link to the quickspecs for both PC's

 

8570p:

8570w:

 

http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14315_na/14315_na.pdf

 

My non-technical analysis is this:

 

The 8570p is lighter and can only be upgraded to 16 GB of memory and offers different graphics than the 8570w. 

 

The 8570w is a mobile workstation rather than a laptop. It can take up to 32 GB of memory with a quad core processor, and has more robust graphics.  You pay for this in that the notebook is about a pound heavier.

 

Compare the above spec links and you can determine which model is better suited for your needs.

What is the significance of a "Workstation" vs. a laptop/notebook?

HP Recommended

Normally a workstation offers better graphics, is a more powerful PC, and has a higher wattage power supply to handle the demands of the more robust hardware.

 

It normally has more ports than a notebook has.

 

It is more like a desktop PC than a notebook as far as its capabilities.

 

You can also expect to pay more for the workstation.

HP!  I am so dissapointed that the HP8570P  I purchased does not have a keyboard back light.  Now I think I have found that the 8570w does have a back light on the keyboard.  

 

Am I able to upgrade the keyboard on my 8570P to the keyboard used in the 8570w?

 

Please please let me know asap! 

 

Thanks!
