As we step into the latter half of 2023 the time has come to properly assess the technology we use for work. With loadshedding becoming more frequent and reaching higher stages, the reliability of our notebooks has become even more crucial. Ensuring that you have a dependable notebook is paramount to accomplishing daily tasks, even during power outages.
HP’s ProBook range of notebooks can deliver precisely that. This range of 15.6″ notebooks are the perfect size for portability while still giving you a large enough screen for spreadsheet work allowing multi-windows for multi-tasking. With a full HD resolution (1920 X 1080) screen, an IPS panel, anti-glare and high brightness, you can count on an optimum performance screen.
The thin bezel means that HP has packed the largest screen possible into this notebook without increasing its footprint, so you can have more display with less weight to carry.
HP ProBooks are available with a range of CPU, RAM and storage options to suit your needs and budget, but all come with a Windows Pro licence, a one-year carry-in warranty, and great battery life across the range.
For a workhorse CPU, consider the Intel i5 processors, which offer an ideal trade-off between price, performance and power usage. Power users should look to i7 variants for more serious tasks and the higher storage of 512GB. Those with fewer storage needs can instead opt for 256GB but regardless of your choice, HP ProBooks use SSDs for faster storage speeds.
Moving across to the accessories
While there is already a huge market for notebook accessories, HP has you covered with a range of accessories to compliment your choice of notebook, tailor-made to work with your new HP ProBook and other HP devices.
The first of these is the HP USB-C G5 Essential Docking Station which you can see in the image above. This sleek little black box opens up a world of possibilities through a single cable. Access a SuperSpeed USB Type-C port, four SuperSpeed USB Type-A ports, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, one HDMI 2.0 port, an Ethernet port and even a Kensington lock.
These intelligent gadgets unlock the best of both worlds: a sleek notebook to take around with you and the total desktop PC experience with multiple ports for all your accessories and screens once at home – all through the simplicity of plugging in one cable. On top of supreme convenience, this also makes the perfect combination for hybrid workers who are alternating between the office and home.
And for those trips between work and home, HP has you covered with a range of backpacks. Choose between great options such as the HP Prelude 15.6″ Backpack or the HP 15.6″ Classic Backpack. Both offer superb protection for 13.3″, 14.2″, or 15.6″ notebooks as well as superb comfort for those longer carry sessions.
While professions usually go the all-black route and pick the Classic option (pictured below right), the Prelude in grey with just a hint of blue and black highlights is a great choice for those who would like to stand out from the crowd (pictured below left).
The decision of which HP ProBook notebook to acquire and the accessories to complement it is entirely in your hands. Regardless of your choices, make sure you choose Pinnacle ICT as your preferred distributor.
