3HP EliteBook 820 G1
The EliteBook 820 also offers multiple connectivity options, is compatible with the UltraSlim Docking Station, supports multiple displays and includes storage options like an additional mini-card solid-state device (SSD). It can behave as a hotspot for up to five devices, includes HP’s new Sure Start security software and is now available at a starting price of $799.
4Easy to Repair
The new EliteBooks are less boxy than their predecessors, now featuring rounded edges, and were also given backlit keyboards and magnesium covers with a four-coat finish for a better appearance over the course of a deployment. Additionally, the bottoms of the notebooks pop off easily to reveal a design that makes parts easily accessible for repairs or updates.

10HP Sure Start
Exclusively for its EliteBook 800 line, HP has introduced Sure Start, a self-healing BIOS technology. HP says that its Sure Start Crisis Recovery mode can “immedately and automatically” detect the effect of an attack or corruption and replace the corrupted BIOS Boot Block with a clean copy in just 30 seconds. In short, it can turn a nightmare scenario into a non-event.
11HP Security Jacket
HP has also introduced a Security Jacket for its ElitePad. The jacket, which surrounds the tablet like a frame, includes integrated smartcard and fingerprint readers, making multiple-log-in procedures possible in sensitive environments. The jacket starts at $249, or at $439 with the optional optical fingerprint reader.
