HP updates business laptop line with new EliteBook, ProBook laptops

Summary: Between the large number of new laptops are a pair of Ultrabooks.

 

Just a couple of weeks after announcing its first mobile workstation Ultrabook, the 14 ZBook, HP is more to renew its line of laptop business, introducing a series of new notebooks today with more style and more security, according to the company.

For more budget companies, 400 ProBook series starts at just $499. That model, the G1 455 ProBook has AMD processor options and a 15.6-inch screen. Other models, such as the 440 of 14 inches (from $559) and 13.3-inch (from $649) 430 are equipped with Haswell Intel processors instead. The 455 G1 features a touchscreen option, as well as an optional hybrid hard drive. These portable main are available today on the HP website.

The alignment of 600 ProBook will begin in November as a step above the 400 series, with options like full 1080 p HD screens and 4 G LTE support shipping. You can choose between several AMD and Intel processors and HP aims to the ProBook G1 655 19 percent slimmer than the previous generation models. The Iran price from $699 per the 640, 645, 650 and 655.

800 EliteBook series adds a couple of Ultrabooks to list of HP business. The 14-inch EliteBook 840 G1 is certified Ultrabook early on, while the 15.6-inch 850 G1 will offer a setting that qualifies as a Ultrabook. Ironically, the 800 smallest elitebook - the 820 12 inch G1, which weighs less than 3 pounds - is not a Ultrabook.

These EliteBooks are starting at $799, thanks in part to the magnesium chassis that meets the military standard MIL-SPEC - 810G of roughness and secure hardware-based technology Start of HP, which works to block BIOS attack automatically. If the BIOS has been attacked or corrupted, recovery mode start safe Crisis replaces impacted BIOS. G1 840 EliteBook can also equip a slice of optional battery that increases the duration of the battery 33 hours, according to HP.

While HP is clearly trying to refresh the corporate notebook seriously with these new offerings, not all are convinced that enterprise, which not long ago was willing to abandon the production of parts altogether, has found a recipe for renewed success.
