HP has introduced the HP EliteBook 1030, a premium business-class Noteboo$k. The EliteBook 1030 sits right between the EliteBook Folio and EliteBook 1040.
In a statement by the company, it is a premium business-class portfolio that is perfect for a customer who loves the versatility and mobility of a smaller notebook but could benefit from a larger screen.
The EliteBook 1030 is based off of the successful EliteBook 1020. This device features a 12.5-inch (31.75cm) CNC-machined aluminum body, and includes a 13.3-inch (33.78cm) screen with an optional QHD+ (3200×1800) display. This gives you a thin and light notebook that’s designed to pass MIL-STD (a United States defense standard used to help achieve standardization objectives) tests at only 15.7 mm thin and 2.55 lbs (1.16kg).oll
Other features of the 1030 are the 6th generation Intel® Core™ M processor – which is up to 20 percent faster than the previous generation – and features up to a 512 GB SSD and up to 16 GB of memory, enabling power and performance with a silent, fanless design. It packs a 4-cell 40 WHr battery for up to 13 hours of battery life, 40 percent longer than the EliteBook 1020.
On the outside, HP Premium keyboard, provides consistent and comfortable key strokes, and a ClickPad for Windows 10 gestures for a more intuitive user experience with Windows 10. The Notebook touts the premium audio features of its EliteBook lineup for voice-based collaboration, using Bang & Olufsen technology for built-in speakers, with HP Noise Cancelation Software and HP Clear Sound Amp for greater audio and video collaboration; and the device is Skype for Business certified.
