Chicago, IL, September 12, 2017 - Today at HP Reinvent, HP Inc.'s largest global partner conference, the company outlined its vision to design solutions for the way people work and live, with the introduction of new premium commercial notebooks and all-in-one (AiO), along with innovative displays and accessories. As people change where and how they work, the new HP Elite 1000 Series and collaboration solutions are designed to enable greater productivity, inspiration, and exchange of ideas beyond the traditional four walls of the office.
The idea of how and where work happens is evolving rapidly, with 54 percent of work being done outside of the cube or office1 and home office hours are expected to increase by 150 percent in two years2 . This evolution is driven by an increasingly millennial workforce, with 88 percent of this group expecting work and life integration of their technology3 . This same group expects technology to improve their productivity and processes - yet certain areas like collaboration are not up to par, with 59 percent of millennials dissatisfied with current solutions.4 And with this increase in technology usage comes increased security concerns: endpoint attacks have more than doubled over the last six years5 . With these insights in mind, HP is focused on enabling the next generation of the workforce to be productive and collaborative - and secure - no matter where they are throughout the day.
As traditional boundaries between work and life go away, HP is focused on designing customer experiences that allow users to seamlessly transition between the two, said Alex Cho,vice president and general manager, Commercial PCs, HP Inc. With new collaboration solutions and the latest Elite 1000 series, devices are engineered to deliver breakthrough thin and light design, best-in-class performance, industry-leading security and manageability, and experiences for improved collaboration that adapts to the work style and lifestyle of each user.
Recognizing that work increasingly takes place outside of the traditional office, the HP Elite 1000 Series is engineered for work and play with thin and light designs, phenomenal performance, includes the industry's brightest displays, and is designed to pass MIL-STD testing6 for the harshest environments. The Elite 1000 Series is optimized for collaboration and connectivity with: built-in collaboration keys to easily manage calls at the touch of a button, Skype for Business certifications, Audio by Bang & Olufsen, HP Audio Boost, and HP Noise Cancellation for optimized audio and video calls. In addition, The Elite 1000 Series will come with HP PhoneWise, the world's only Windows solution to text and call from the PC across iOS and Android devices7 for easier transitions between devices. Part of HP's most secure and manageable PCs8 , these devices feature HP Sure View - the industry's only integrated privacy screen9 - along with HP Sure Start, HP Sure Click10, Windows Hello, and HP Multi-Factor Authenticate11 with Intel Authenticate.
