Editor’s note: This article was first published in January 2015. The product line-up (EliteBook Folio 1040, ElitePad 1000 G2 with Intel Atom, EliteOne 800, EliteDesk 800 Desktop Mini, EliteDisplay S230tm) is from then; these models are long discontinued.
One of the most important things for any company or professional is having the best technology in the business: technology that offers security, reliability and good design, as well as support that covers our needs.
That’s where the HP Elite range comes in. It offers a wide variety of options and formats to suit every professional need, and it is designed to cover every work requirement through its combination of hardware, software and services.
The HP Elite range includes laptops, tablets and desktop computers, with a premium real-time support service available 24 hours a day, as well as strong security in the form of virus protection and data encryption.
The HP Elite range includes:
HP EliteBook Folio 1040: The most reliable business ultrabook on the market. It includes superior performance and security features to help keep you productive and protect your data.
HP ElitePad: A true tablet for professional use that is more than a tablet: a complete business solution. Thanks to its Intel Atom processor, the HP ElitePad 1000 G2 offers performance and flexibility that will change the way you work.
HP EliteOne 800: An all-in-one computer that is as reliable as it is elegant, with maximum flexibility and advanced connectivity options.
HP EliteDesk 800 Desktop Mini: HP’s most compact business desktop fits practically anywhere.
HP EliteDisplay S230tm: A fully tilting multi-touch monitor designed to make the most of your workspace.
The three main pillars that make HP Elite attractive are:
Premium support
HP Elite gives companies real-time support from a specialised team, available 24 hours a day, to solve any problem that may come up in day-to-day work. This support is included with the purchase of any HP Elite computer, with no extra charges or contracts. You can even schedule a call with a specific agent.
Security and management
HP offers solutions focused on security and privacy, from virus protection to data encryption. It also makes it possible to manage and set up an entire fleet of Elite computers quickly, which is ideal for companies and schools (several computers can be repaired, updated and set up from a single control panel).
You can also reduce downtime and IT support costs with HP BIOS protection.
Maximum reliability and rugged design
On the design side, Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2 is used so that both the HP Elite laptop and tablet look sophisticated and striking while also being tough.
The display enclosure of the HP EliteBook is an outer layer of polished aluminium bonded to an inner magnesium shell. Its chassis is made of magnesium alloy, 18 times stronger than a plastic casing, so it protects the main components. In fact, all the devices undergo 115,000 hours of additional testing.
