HP gives offices a powerful makeover with new desktops and AiOs

HP has announced new commercial desktops and all-in-ones as part of its ‘world’s most secure and manageable PC’ lineup. In addition to the company’s leadership in security, the new HP Elite desktops and AiOs pack powerful performance and versatile designs that modernise a company’s technology dress code while helping keep devices, data and employees’ identities secure.

Desktops and AiOs account for nearly half of commercial PCs sold, representing a critical technology for businesses and organisations. The features of the new HP EliteDesk 800 Series desktops and HP EliteOne 800 AiO include:

• The newly redesigned EliteOne 800 G3 All-in-One is one of the first commercial AiOs with dual-facing cameras and a non-glare touch screen, making this device the perfect companion to greet customers or to easily collaborate with others.
• The all-new HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Tower is one of the world’s most powerful commercial and configurable desktops, and it is the first VR-certified commercial PC, perfect for companies wanting to future-proof their technology and deliver state-of-the-art capabilities.
• Its smaller sibling – the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop Mini – is one of the world’s smallest business-class desktops, and is HP’s most durable ultra-small form factor business-class desktop, ideal for customers who want to hide a desktop behind a monitor or take up minimal space on a desk.
• Proving that size doesn’t matter, the HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Desktop Mini 65W is the desktop mini on steroids, taking the title of the world’s smallest, most powerful business-class desktop for customers who are tight on space but big on productivity.

‘The millennial workforce is clamouring for sexy devices that inspire creativity and an open exchange of ideas, and employers are demanding technology that looks beautiful in their open floor plans yet are powerful and secure with no barriers to their employees’ productivity,’ said Benoit Bonnafy, Vice President, Business Personal Systems EMEA, HP Inc. ‘The newest lineup of Elite desktops and AiOs reflects the vision of a business while reflecting the desires of employees, pairing beautiful designs with exciting features and performance that meet and exceed security requirements critical to all business environments.’

More than 100 million commercial desktops still in use are greater than four years old, leaving businesses vulnerable to the 200 per cent rise in breaches targeting endpoint devices, and lack the performance and energy savings of today’s devices. When businesses upgrade to the new EliteDesk 800 series desktops and EliteOne 800 AiO, they will have built-in, not bolted on, security out of the box, including the world’s first and only self-healing BIOS-level protection with SureStart Gen3 with Runtime Intrusion Detection and recently announced HP WorkWise, the world’s first smartphone app for PC Tamper Detection.
