HP ProBooks: Security and Performance

Business as usual has changed dramatically, and professionals at home and in the office know better than anyone. You need systems that adapt and move easily from home to office to desk to meeting room to everywhere in between, all while operating securely and at peak performance.

HP ProBooks are such PCs. Built for business, they were designed for performance, security, and durability. In this article, we’ll explore how these HP ProBooks offer all of these features and more in a comfortable and versatile design.

A little background on the HP ProBook family

In a world where notebook PCs often sacrifice power for portability, or portability for power, one of those two important attributes —especially for mobile professionals— ends up having to be sacrificed. Not so for the HP ProBook family of laptops and convertibles.

The HP ProBook was created especially for business users on the go who need high-performing and secure devices that are slim and light enough to be genuinely portable. The full line of the HP ProBook series includes convertibles, laptops, and detachables with a variety of screen sizes ranging from 13.3-inch to 15.6-inch (diagonal).

Most have thin profiles but pack a lot of power into those form factors with high-end processors and commercial-grade security features. And most have long battery lives of least 14 hours or more to power through long days. These features also ensure that, beyond business use, they work really well as gaming systems and for college students.
