HP Unveils The World’s Thinnest Business Laptops

During the first week of December, HP revealed the world’s thinnest and lightest business-class notebooks. Available at Amazon, HP EliteBook Folio 1020 Standard Edition. PALO ALTO, CA– HP (NYSE: HPQ) introduced the HP EliteBook Folio 1020 family, the industry’s thinnest and lightest business-class notebooks.

The HP EliteBook 1020 and the HP EliteBook 1020 Special Edition (SE) are ultra-thin at 15. 7 mm, and the SE takes advantage of HP’s exclusive blend of magnesium-lithium alloy and reusable carbon fiber to achieve a weight of only 1 kg (2.2 lbs.)⁽¹⁾. Both share a tough, cutting-edge design that offers elite business-class performance.
“The HP EliteBook1020 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 Alex Cho, vice president & general manager, HP Commercial PCs. “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.”

 Focus on security and reliability
The HP EliteBook 1020 and the ultra-lightweight HP EliteBook 1020 SE are designed with enterprise mobility in mind, with up to 9 hours of battery life⁽²⁾ 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 testing⁽³⁾. These notebooks also deliver both speed and near silent operation with a fanless design and solid state storage, supported by latest Intel® Core-M™ processor technology. Both devices come with HP Client Management Solutions and optional LANDesk⁽⁴⁾ and Intel® vPro™ technology⁽⁵⁾ to easily integrate and deploy into an enterprise IT environment.

The notebooks include HP’s exclusive enterprise-class security, including certified Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 1.2/2.0⁽⁶⁾, pre-boot authentication, fingerprint reader and the exclusive HP Sure Start self-healing BIOS to help better protect your device, data and identity.

The HP EliteBook 1020 with optional touchscreen and HP EliteBook 1020 SE offer brilliant clarity on a high-resolution 12.5-inch diagonal Quad HD (QHD) display, and are the first EliteBooks to come with the HP Premium Keyboard, a newly designed keyboard that provides optimized, consistent key response based on user testing and feedback. 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 with a difference you can hear.
