"The HP EliteBook 1020 represents game-changing innovation in both materials and mechanical engineering to create the world’s thinnest and lightest business notebooks in a form factor that enables our customers to be more productive in more places,” said Serena Yong, GM, Printing and Personal Systems, HP Singapore and Malaysia. “Customers demand not only a stylish, thin and light notebook, but also a device that delivers advanced security and can withstand the rigorous demands that come with a highly mobile lifestyle – and the HP EliteBook 1020 delivers this complete solution.”
Both notebooks are designed with enterprise mobility in mind, with up to nine hours of battery life2 to power a full work day. Like the rest of the EliteBook family, these are designed to pass military-grade (MIL-STD 810G) testing – drops, shocks, and exposure to extremes of temperature and humidity, and high pressure testing3. The notebooks also deliver both speed and near-silent operation with a fanless design and solid state storage, supported by latest Intel CoreM processor technology. Both devices come with HP Client Management Solutions and optional LANDesk4 and Intel vProTM technology5 to easily integrate and deploy into an enterprise IT environment.
The notebooks include HP’s enterprise-class security, including certified Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2/2.06 , pre-boot authentication, fingerprint reader and the exclusive HP Sure Start self-healing BIOS to help better protect the device, data and identity. The HP EliteBook 1020 with optional touchscreen and HP EliteBook 1020 SE offer a 12.5" diagonal Quad HD (QHD) display, and are the first EliteBooks to come with the HP Premium Keyboard, a newly designed keyboard that provides optimised, consistent key responses.
The 720p webcam, front firing speakers, featuring HD Audio with DTS Studio Sound and HP Noise Reduction Software, make web conferences and collaboration on-the-go more productive.
Today’s announcement also includes updates to the HP EliteBook line of notebooks and convertibles, which will feature the latest generation of Intel Core processors. All new HP EliteBooks include the HP Noise Reduction Software for greater clarity in collaborative environments, and come pre-loaded with the company’s cloud-based management solution HP Touchpoint Manager7 to easily manage and secure multi-OS devices in an IT environment and can also be deployed on customers’ existing devices. The devices also include enhanced security features with HP Client Security8 and HP BIOSphere9 to help keep data and devices safe. In addition, HP EliteBooks have undergone more than 115,000 hours of testing to multiple military reliability standards.
