News highlights:
HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ) today unveiled a range of new devices,
displays and accessories designed for the modern workforce,
including the rollout of several award-winning premium features to
the best-selling
HP EliteBook 800 series and
HP ZBook 14u/15u mobile workstations. As the
world’s most secure and manageable PCs and mobile workstations,
these devices – along with the all-new
HP Thunderbolt™ Dock
G2 and expanded portfolio of
four new HP
4K displays – will bring powerful
innovation and premium experiences into the mainstream workforce.
“The game has changed and standard issued corporate devices of
the past no longer meet the needs of the workforce of the future,
particularly among Gen X to Gen Z professionals,” said Alex Cho,
vice president and general manager, Commercial PCs, HP Inc. “Our
latest EliteBook and ZBook offerings set new standards for design,
performance, and functionality. Whether it’s the world’s thinnest
devices or the industry’s most robust security features, HP is
redefining the commercial PC experience for the modern
workforce.”
Insights-Driven Innovation
Today’s modern workforce requires greater flexibility in where
and how work gets done. Sixty-two percent of people work from more
than one location9 and 81 percent work during their personal
time,10 illustrating the need for devices that seamlessly connect
any time, any place.
As boundaries around traditional workplaces are erased, security
becomes even more important. Nearly 70 percent of organizations
have reported compromised laptops in the past 24 months,11
demonstrating the need for robust security features that provide
constant protection and resiliency in the event of an attack. At
the same time, as workplaces become more collaborative, the need
for innovative tools is on the rise. The PC is at the center of
this shift, with laptops the most frequently used device for
meetings and collaboration.12
Premium Design & Experiences
Today’s announced devices each feature HP’s premium design
language previously only available on the HP EliteBook 1000 series,
with chiseled linear wedge profiles and anodized aluminum covers
for sleek and strong devices that can hold up to the challenges of
the workday. A standout feature for users who work in multiple,
diverse locations, the EliteBook 800 series is the world's first
business notebook with an ultra-bright display that automatically
adapts to changing light conditions,13 a feature also available on
the ZBook 14u/15u.
Durability and sustainability go hand-in-hand as more businesses
look to maximize their hardware investment and minimize their
environmental impact. The EliteBook 800 series and the ZBook
14u/15u passed MIL-STD-810G testing14 and are more easily
serviceable than previous generations. The ZBook 14u/15u have
industry-leading durability in a thin and light 14 and 15-inch form
factor, as they passed two additional MIL-STD tests for bench
handling and crash hazard shock for unpredictable conditions in
technical environments. The devices in this lineup are ENERGY STAR®
certified and EPEAT® Gold15 registered, reflecting HP’s commitment
to sustainability.
The EliteBook 800 series features the world’s first notebooks
with a world-facing, noise-cancelling microphone,16 which removes
unwanted sounds when in individual mode or enhances for 360-degree
voice pick-up when in conference mode. The ZBook 14u/15u also
carries this innovative feature for collaboration. All these
devices come with the HP Premium Collaboration Keyboard, which
features built-in keys to easily manage calls, and include
HP PhoneWise, the world’s only Windows solution to
text and call from the PC across iOS and Android™ devices.17
New PCs and Workstations include:
- The HP EliteBook 800 series is the first of
several HP business notebooks to feature 8th generation Intel®
Core™ vPro™ processors, with up to 14 hours of battery life18 to
easily power a day’s worth of hard work and HP Fast Charge to
charge 50 percent of the battery in just 30 minutes19.° The
HP EliteBook 830 G5 replaces the previous HP
EliteBook 820 G4 with a 13-inch screen in a 12-inch notebook
profile.° The HP EliteBook 840 G5 is
the world's thinnest 14-inch business notebook with 8th generation
Intel® Core™ processors and discrete graphics20.° Both
the EliteBook 840 and the HP EliteBook 850 G5
include AMD Radeon™ RX540 discrete graphics for users who need
greater performance for graphics-intensive workloads and
collaboration applications.
- The HP ZBook 14u/15u mobile
workstations now feature the popular HP Sure View for
greater user and data privacy for technical mobile professionals,
and are the world’s first mobile workstations with an integrated
privacy screen. Both mobile workstations feature 8th generation
Intel® Core™ Quad Core Processors with vPro™ technology and AMD
Radeon™ Pro graphics for fast and reliable performance and 24/7
workloads, with more than 24 ISV certifications for CAD and design
work and other professional applications. ° The
HP ZBook 14u G5 is the world’s thinnest
workstation21 at just 17.9 mm and weighing 3.27 lbs.22 The
impressive design of the ZBook 14u is 28 percent thinner than the
previous generation and includes an optional 4K touch display with
anti-glare technology, ideal for technical professionals on the go.
° The newly refreshed HP ZBook 15u
G5 also features Intel® Core™ i5 and i7 Quad Core
Processors23 with vPro technology, AMD Radeon™ Pro 3D Graphics for
performance and reliability, and up to 2 TB with the HP Z Turbo
Drive high speed storage, for power users traveling to a conference
room or across town. HP Performance Advisor assures optimal
configuration, compatibility, and performance.
For a clean, sleek and productive desk, HP is announcing a new
dock and 4K displays:
- The new HP Thunderbolt™ Dock G2 is the world’s
most versatile Thunderbolt™ dock24 and its highly innovative design
gives users a clean and functional working space while enabling IT
to support any HP or non-HP device notebook with Thunderbolt™ and
USB-C™ functionality. This compact dock provides power, supports up
to two 4K displays, and is the world’s first Thunderbolt™ dock
featuring an optional audio conferencing module25 – great for
closed offices, small huddle rooms, or focus rooms – all through a
single cord.
- Pair the new dock with a variety of new 4K displays from HP for
multitasking with clear, crisp content and applications. The
HP EliteDisplay S270n is HP’s first 4K
EliteDisplay that can pull video and data and send up to 60W of
power to the PC with just one USB-C™ cable connection. To address
the high standards of engineers and designers who need a consistent
color calibration, the new HP Z27 and HP
Z32 are factory color calibrated to meet the requirements
of these users’ unique workloads. The HP Z43, HP’s
largest 4K display, is for users who require a larger screen. All
three 4K HP Z Displays offer 10-bit color so users can view over 1
billion colors, millions more than standard 6-bit or 8-bit
displays. Also, each of the new 4K Z Displays offer a USB-C™
connection that not only connects video and data but delivers 65W
of power back to the PC.
Industry-Leading Security
As security continues to be a priority for businesses and users,
choosing the right PC hardware is increasingly becoming a security
decision. This is why HP designs its EliteBooks and ZBooks to be
the world’s most secure and manageable PCs and workstations5, now
with even more security and manageability features to combat
today’s threats.
Along with HP Sure View, HP Sure Click, Windows Hello, optional
privacy camera, and HP Multi-Factor Authenticate,26 the EliteBook
800 series and ZBook 14u/15u also includes HP’s Endpoint Security
Controller. This embedded hardware controller is part of HP’s
built-in, not bolted-on, security solution that monitors, protects
and recovers the BIOS, the operating system, and critical
applications in the event of an attack. Unique to today’s announced
devices, this physically isolated, cryptographically secured chip
enables:
- HP Sure Start Gen 4: In the previous
generation, HP Sure Start protected both the BIOS and the copy of
the BIOS running in the system memory; Sure Start now offers
enhanced encryption for better protection of the device and
enhanced resilience and event logging for third party
firmware27.
- HP Sure Run: Leveraging the Endpoint Security
Controller, this newest feature extends hardware-enforced
self-healing protection into the operating system by monitoring key
processes and applications, such as antivirus, alerting both the
user and IT if there are any changes, and restarting those
processes automatically if stopped28.
- HP Sure Recover: Another new feature for 2018,
this capability offers secure, automated, network-based software
image recovery with only an internet connection. Without the help
of IT, employees will be able to reimage a PC with HP’s or a
company’s own software image even if the entire hard drive is
wiped.29
“Security is a constantly evolving space – an area where no one
can claim that they’ve solved security and how a PC OEM approaches
security needs to be top priority when a business is making a
purchase decision,” said Patrick Moorhead, principal analyst, Moor
Insights & Strategy. “I applaud HP’s approach to endpoint
security and its commitment to hardware security, as security
should be an important consideration factor for anyone looking to
purchase a PC.”
