HP has just introduced its new portable Probook 6445b and 6545b which are distinguished by a drainage system for disposal of liquid and the possibility of using Outlook without booting Windows.

Configuration

The company talks about a range of 8 hours and 15 minutes, an AMD Turion II (2.4 GHz or 2.3 GHz) or Athlon II (2.1 GHz) or Sempron (2 GHz) following models up to 8 GB of DDR2 (800 MHz), a hard disk of 160 GB to 500 GB or 128 GB SSD, a GPU ATI Radeon HD 4200, the HSDPA, Wi-Fi n, and Bluetooth 2.1.

The little extras for the pros

HP tries to distinguish itself from its competitors with a system protecting the computer from a payment accidental liquid substances. Understand by this that he should not survive a dip in a pool, but it will resist a cup of coffee spilled on the keyboard during a difficult morning.

The other feature is aimed at businesses using Outlook without booting Windows. This is a Linux environment that can read and write emails to send them once the operating system Microsoft has launched. This will take his haul faster and save battery. It is also possible to surf the Internet from a separate Windows environment using the Firefox browser.

Scheduled for mid-November (to be running Windows 7), the dollar price of these phones is not yet known, but they start at $ 799 (approx. € 540, although we believe that HP will sell around 799 €).
