Why Laptop Design Matters
reprinted with permission from the HP Small Business Center
In these difficult financial times, you need to make sure your technology purchases and partners are reliable and solid over the long haul. HP is the world leader in PC technology and our notebook PC portfolio is already well-known for its reliability and high quality.
The new HP EliteBook Notebook PCs are raising the bar for durability and business-rugged design. There’s a lot on the line if your notebook can’t handle the bumps and scrapes of travel and a busy, mobile work environment. A cracked display, broken case or bent hinge could leave you without a working laptop when you need it, which is at all times.
Built for durability
The HP EliteBook series is ready for the everyday challenges that face mobile professionals with advanced features and design, such as aircraft-inspired construction, a shock-mounted hard drive, a spill-resistant keyboard and HP DuraCase, which is the heart and soul of our outstanding design.
The HP DuraCase offers a complete set of reliability features to address the needs of the most discriminating mobile professional, including a full magnesium alloy chassis, anodized aluminum surfaces, magnesium/aluminum display enclosure, composite metal hinge, and reinforced display latch for 4 point lockdown, to name a few. These features ensure enhanced reliability and mean less downtime, fewer repairs and a better return on your IT investment. And, most importantly, helps ensure your laptop keeps up with the rigors of mobile life.
Built for extreme demands
To ensure the HP DuraCase is tough enough for the most brutal business or travel environment, we tested it using select military standards. We know that if it’s tough enough to meet these standards for drop, vibration, shock, dust, humidity, altitude and high and low temperatures**, then it’s ready for the rigors of everyday life.
Committed to quality
The HP EliteBook is just one of our high-quality business notebook series. We design and build all our Business Notebook PCs to deliver a superior experience with quality improvements and features based on years of direct customer feedback and exhaustive development, testing, validation and analysis. Three areas we’re particularly proud of are:
-
Battery quality: We’ve always employed strict quality controls in designing, constructing and using batteries in our business notebooks, and these controls are revised continually as battery technology improves.
-
Total Test Process: All of our HP Business Notebook PCs are subjected to 95,000 total hours of testing covering 50,000 individual steps. We call this our HP Total Test Process. This comprehensive, rigorous testing helps ensure superior quality and reliability in a wide range of applications and operating environments.
-
System architecture: We spend approximately 20,000 man-hours on software and integration testing, which involve more than 30,000 steps and 240 industry-standard hardware and software products per operating system. This considerable amount of time, energy and resources are compounded by constant feedback from the field as we strive to improve software to make it more reliable and easier to use.
Unprecedented up to 24 hours of battery life*
HP understands that mobile professionals need to work and stay productive all the time. Fortunately HP has broken through the 24-hour battery life barrier, meaning you can work all day and all night (only if you need to!) on a single charge, with a properly configured HP EliteBook 6930p Notebook with an Ultra Capacity Battery. Visit the HP battery life website for full details and availability.
World-class service and support
Our focus on quality doesn’t end when the product is launched and shipped to you. HP Total Care goes beyond standard limited warranties with optional extended service contracts that cover your needs at every stage of your computing technology’s lifecycle. HP Total Care helps maximize your initial return on investment while reducing loss of productivity.
Additionally, HP Instant Support solutions deliver a seamless support experience that helps you manage your technology and your business. These solutions maximize your availability and your evolving environment.
