More Power To Your Fingers

WE ALL know that screen times have spiralled in a post-pandemic world, HP's internal research nails it down to a number. The company estimates that consumers spent 60 hours per week using laptops in 2021, up from 35 hours in 2019. Laptops are getting slinkier and more powerful. They're not just work machines anymore, they have the entertainment quotient to quickly morph into binge watch devices.4

THE BOOK 2 PRO FEATURES 12TH GEN INTEL CORE PROCESSORS THAT ALLOW YOU TO WORK, VIDEO CALL AND GAME WITHOUT A FUSS. THE TOP-END VERSION HAS 16GB OF RAM AND 512GB OF INTERNAL STORAGE

SAMSUNG GALAXY BOOK 2 PRO

YOU'RE unlikely to find a lighter premium laptop - the 13.3-inch version weighs just 870gm and is 11.2mm thin. Samsung's new notebook sets a new standard for slim Windows laptops. It will slip into your thinnest portfolio bag, perfect for that one-day business trip.

Don't let the slinky form fool you, this one's sturdy with an all-metal build that looks every inch premium. Samsung's display creds come to the fore in a vibrant 13.3-inch AMOLED display (1920 x 1080 pixels) with a 60Hz refresh rate. There's also a 15.6-inch display version. Both come with multiple ports busting the myth that lightweight laptops compromise on connectivity options.

The Book 2 Pro features the latest 12th Gen Intel Core processors that allow you to work, video call and game without a fuss. The top-end version comes with a generous RAM and 512GB 16GB of internal storage. Battery life is quite impressive for a ultra-thin laptop, you should get through a typical work day.

In case you don't, the 65W Type-C charger has you covered. This universal charger can also power your Android smartphone, doing away with the need to carry two chargers on a short trip.
