ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital!

HP has released a new range of devices and solutions for the Nigerian and other markets, designed to help people boost productivity, collaborate with ease, and work anywhere, with strong security, reports ITREALMS.

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted work environments around the world and it’s clear that hybrid working environments are the new normal. Nearly half of business professionals are working remotely and the importance of productivity at home is clear: people want faster PCs and faster internet. For IT organizations, 60% are finding ways to support more flexible work arrangements to provide the same level of support at home as users get in office. At the same time, more than 40% of IT departments are prioritizing built-in security on employee endpoint devices.

“With workspaces at home becoming the status quo and businesses supporting their workforce both remotely and for those back in the office, the PC is essential in these hybrid working environments,” said Andy Rhodes, global head of Commercial Personal Systems, HP Inc. “We’re making our most premium experiences more accessible with new laptops that offer greater mobility to work from anywhere, desktops that bring powerhouse performance to small workspaces, monitors that enable collaboration and support wellbeing, and services that offer comprehensive and flexible solutions – all to support the business transformation happening today.”

One of the new products is the HP ProBook 635 Aero G7, equipped with the latest AMD Ryzen™ Mobile Processor for powerful performance and has connected modern standby to get users working in seconds. With a starting weight of under one kg and long battery life, it is designed to keep users productive around the home, in the office, or on-the-go. HP Sure View Reflect allows users to work discreetly, Wi-Fi 6 and 4G LTE makes it easy to get connected, and the keyboard provides a smooth and quiet typing experience.

Sleek and built with sustainability in mind, it has an elevated design that provides a premium feel that is compact yet sturdy, and an all-metal design that has over 62% of mechanical parts made from recycled materials – a proud addition to HP’s world’s most sustainable PC portfolio. Built to provide a solid performance, the HP ProBook 635 Aero G7 boosts productivity when powered with the latest AMD Ryzen™ 4000 Series Mobile Processors, optional Ryzen PRO 4000 Series Mobile Processors, and latest integrated AMD Radeon™ Graphics. It also comes with sanitation features designed to withstand 1,000 cycles of disinfection with household wipes.

HP also introduced the HP ProBook 600 G8 and HP ProBook 400 G8 PC Series built for professionals at growing companies who move from desk to meeting room to home. With an enhanced design and optional quad-core 11th Gen Intel® Core™ processors, the latest ProBook 600 and ProBook 400 PCs continue to deliver the commercial performance, security, and durability that users need.
