HP has taken on Microsoft and Lenovo with several new premium laptops aimed at the travelling business professional – including the HP EliteBook x360 1040 G6 with up to 24 hours of battery life
The new HP Elite x2 G4 also claims to be the world’s first “business detachable” with a leather keyboard folio, reminiscent of the Spectre Folio released last year, boasting added privacy with an integrated dual camera shutter.
The laptop mirrors the fabric embedded folio style of Microsoft’s popular Surface Laptop and Surface Go range.
The company has also added its HP Sure Sense to the new EliteBook line, which provides deep learning malware protection to the new PCs.
