Five ways your laptop can save you money
Flexible, mobile, and affordable, laptops are the computing way to go for most small to medium businesses. Notebooks such as HP Probooks not only help you get stuff done wherever you are, they can save you some extra cash.
More bang for your buck
Laptops are more cost-effective purchases compared to desktops and the requisite tangle of monitors, keyboards, and accessories. Since laptops are meant to be mobile, they are compact, all-in-one machines, with everything including options such as web cameras, built right in. More features and less clutter for less money mean more savings. Plus, with trade-in programs like Trade up to HP, you can receive up to £150 for your old computer when you buy a qualifying HP business notebook.
Reduced energy costs
Laptops consume 85% less power over a year than desktops. HP’s notebooks are ENERGY STAR qualified, producing less heat and saving you on utility costs.
Reduced communication costs
Use internet calling options such as Skype to make free to cheap phone calls just about anywhere. HP Probooks also support video and web conferencing with a dual-microphone array for clear sound and less time asking, “Can you hear me?”
Work wherever
Notebooks let you work wherever you are. Make the most of your in-person meeting with clients by using your HP Probook to share information or show a presentation on its high-resolution, large screen. HP Mobile Broadband lets you securely plug into the internet in more places, including hotels and airports where there’s often an extra charge and in cafés where there are security concerns.
Additional benefits of mobility and portability are significant. HP studies in the UK found that 46% of employees would be happier if they could work from home and that greater flexibility would result in higher productivity. With laptops, you can foster happier and more productive employees, reduce commuting and travel costs for meetings, and offer a better work-life balance while remaining responsive to work needs
Reduced time costs
On HP Business notebooks such as HP Probooks, you can access the web in seconds with a push of the QuickWeb button, even if your laptop is shutdown. Avoid having to wait while the system boots and in seconds, you can use e-mail, Skype, check the news, pay bills in the additional write-protected security mode, and save files onto a USB drive.
When you’re on the go and you need to look up a phone number or that e-mail to check where you’re meeting your client, HP QuickLook boots up your notebook in ten seconds to let you access Outlook data and edit e-mail, calendar, contacts, and tasks, which syncs up next time you start the computer.
