Just in time for CES 2010, HP has sent out an update to its line of business notebooks. Bringing the updates to six professional models, the new options include Intel’s new Core i7 processor for all, as well as plenty of other high cost, high-end accouterments. The ProBook models include the 6440b (14-inch), 6540b (15.6-inch) and carry a starting price of $949. The aluminum EliteBook 8440w and 8540w start at $1299 and $1499 respectively.

Rounding up the bunch is the platinum aluminum 8440p and 8540p which start at $1,099 and $1,249. The differences between all models is barely noticeable to the untrained eye but such things as spill-resistance drains on the EliteBook models and 24 hour battery life on the 8440p / 8540p are just some of the things that sets the notebooks apart.

All models are set to go on sale in February and we’re hearing that USB 3.0 will be offered on some of the EliteBook lineups.
