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 blend of magnesium-lithium alloy and reusable carbon fiber to achieve a weight of only 1 kg (2.2 lbs.). The HP EliteBook 1020 and the ultra-lightweight HP EliteBook 1020 SE are designed with enterprise mobility in mind, which shows with up to 9 hours of battery life to power a full work day. They passed military-grade testing, so there should be no worries for road warriors.
Both devices come with HP Client Management Solutions and optional LANDesk and Intel vPro technology 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 feature 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. That way, the keyboard, one of the best part of all HP notebooks, is even better now and that's a detail every business user will appreciate very much.
There are also 720p webcam, front speakers featuring HD Audio with DTS Studio Sound and HP Noise Reduction Software, and all that make web conferences and collaboration on-the-go more productive. Thanks to the fanless design and solid state storage, supported by Intel Core-M processor technology, these notebooks are fast and silent at the same time. The HP EliteBook Folio 1020 is a very interesting device, obviously targeted to stand long working hours, a lot of work on the road, and with plenty of power for tough use. ■
