HP has updated its Personal Systems portfolio with new business laptops to help employees stay connected and productive while working from home.
The latest EliteBook 800 Series PCs, ZBook Firefly 14 and ZBook Firefly 15 feature new capabilities that allow business users, IT teams and creators to be productive from anywhere while also doing so securely.
HP’s new devices can be configured with Wi-Fi 6, 4G LTE or 5G and new AI-based noise reduction will offer improved video conferencing as it can suppress background noises and keyboard clicks during conference calls. Meanwhile HP QuickDrop can be used to transfer photos, videos and files quickly and securely between an HP PC and smartphone.
In terms of security, HP has added new intrusion detection technology, called HP Tamper Lock, to its devices which can lock your PC if it has been physically opened or compromised. The company’s new laptops will also be hard to misplace as newly embedded Tile capability allows end users and IT teams to easily locate PCs whether they’re nearby or far away.
