HP Design was challenged to create a range that used sustainable manufacturing methods to create a premium machine. HP has used materials like aluminum with CNC machining to deliver machines with a superior look and feel.
The challenge was to make a high-performance laptop using sustainable materials. The HP Elitebook 800 series notebooks are designed for the enterprise space with an emphasis on sustainability, security, and conferencing experiences.
HP design focused on sustainability as a priority. The aluminum used in HP Elitebook 800 series notebooks is recycled with select internal contents manufactured from reclaimed ocean-bound plastics. Features:
• EPEAT GOLD
• Recycled plastics: 39%, 30% PCR in screen bezel, keycaps made from 50% PCR DVDs
• Ocean bound plastics: 5% in speaker boxes
• Sustainable recycled packaging.
The Elitebook 800 G9 has rounded sides that make it both more comfortable to hold, and also make it look thinner when viewed from eye level. The rounded edges also make it easier to open.
The trackpad is large and matches the ratio of the 16:10 display. Surrounding the trackpad is a diamond cut and polished ring, machined after anodizing the premium aluminum palm rest.
The 16:10 display makes a large difference for users. Productivity gets easier with more vertical height to see content on the display. Browsing requires less scrolling.
For the work-from-home professional, more screen to focus on your work means your work environment is better. The Elitebook 800 G9 is available in 13-, 14-, and 16-inch sizes, and all weigh under 3 pounds.
All metals used in the computer are recyclable. Internally, recycled ocean-bound plastics are used, and the paints are all water-borne, which release volatile organic compounds in the manufacturing process.
1. Weight reduction was a key point for designers. Making a 16-inch notebook that weighs less than 3 pounds was a challenge. It’s rewarding for users who need to travel, but also need the screen size for their work.
2. The 16:10 display gives the user more screen height for productivity.
3. The 5-megapixel camera with a privacy shutter makes sure the user looks good when they want to be seen and aren’t seen unintentionally.
The HP Elitebook 800 G9 series notebooks are designed for the enterprise space with an emphasis on sustainability, security, and conferencing experiences.
HP EliteBook 800 G9's audio and video were built for work-from-home. You can stand and move to stretch during your meeting and the camera will follow you with a 5MP+ camera with HP Auto Frame.
You can conference in front of a window and show up clearly thanks to Backlight WDR that improves challenging lighting conditions You can be clear on screen as evening sets in as the camera brightens my image in lowlight conditions (and don’t want the glare from lights).
