HP’s ProBook Challenges Dell, Lenovo in SMB Space
Posted by: Ecomer In: HP&Compaq Laptop ()
First, Dell had the Vostro, then Lenovo introduced its ThinkPad SL line, and now, HP is getting in the SMB game with its ProBook line—pushing the Compaq brand even deeper down the value chain. Not as expensive as HP’s beloved EliteBook series, the ProBook is for everyday working folks. Available with both AMD and Intel platforms, the ProBook comes with three screen choices: 14, 15.6, and 17.3 inches, all 16:9 aspect ratio.
The ProBook series offers a built-in mobile broadband option, via Qualcomm’s Gobi technology. Also for the business user, HP includes all of its professional software, such as QuickLook 2, which grants access to e-mail, calendar, task, and contact information without booting into Windows;HP SpareKey, which helps you get access to your system when you’ve forgotten your password; and FileSanitizer for HP Protect Tools to completely delete files, among other applications.
