HP Elitebook 845 G8 Laptop

The 14″ anti-glare In-Plane Switching (IPS) display is powered by integrated AMD Radeon graphics and supports 1920 x 1080 FHD resolution, showing images, videos, and documents with exceptional clarity.

In addition to being equipped with a smart card reader, Trusted Platform Module (TPM), and webcam blocker, the fingerprint reader and facial recognition-compatible infrared webcam allow you to log into Windows without having to enter a password. The self-encrypting storage drive helps to keep your data safe and secure.

Connect compatible peripherals to the two USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C connectors to transfer video, audio, and up to 10 Gb/s of data using a single cable. The system also includes two USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A ports that can transfer up to 5 Gb/s. Attaching an external monitor to the HDMI 2.0 port allows you to give presentations and enhance your multitasking with a larger viewing space.

Be seen and heard clearly on video conference calls with clients and colleagues using the built-in 720p webcam, three-microphone array, and Bang & Olufsen stereo speaker system while connected to compatible networks via the fast 802.11ax Wi-Fi. A 3.5mm headset jack is available for added privacy, or you can pair the laptop with wireless Bluetooth devices. Once you’re done, slide the webcam shutter into place for extra security.

The durable backlit keyboard is spill-resistant, allowing you to type with peace of mind.

Microsoft’s digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.

After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.

For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.

The Pro version of Windows 10 includes all of the features of Windows 10 Home plus many designed specifically for business users, including Hyper-V virtualization, BitLocker disk encryption, and remote desktop access. Devices will also be able to join domains and the Azure Active Directory, and they can even access a specialized version of the Windows Store featuring custom, company-specific applications.

Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it’s not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.

Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.
