HP is unveiling its spring lineup of computers for work-from-home employees, with products including a 3.1-pound workstation laptop and low blue-light monitors to keep workers happier.
The idea is to give employees the technology they need to be more productive at home. HP is targeting companies that are trying to make the home office into a connected, collaborative, and secure experience, said Mike Nash, chief technologist for personal systems at HP, in a press briefing.
HP said its data shows that 50% of remote workers say they don't have what they need to be efficient at home. Meanwhile, information technology (IT) managers worry about security as the line between work and life blurs. But HP's own survey says that 87% of its employees believe they can be successful working at home, Nash said.
"We've realized the line between work life and home life has blurred, and we're now moving from a world where we're working at home to now working from home," Nash said. "Seventy-six percent of workers are working from home right now. I think it's interesting to see that the PC is transitioning from being super important to now being very essential."

As workforces adapt to remote work, 56% of companies say they are considering deploying a higher proportion of portable devices.
"The feature improvements that we're making … are incredibly relevant in today's world," said Cory McElroy, director of product management at HP, in a press briefing. "We need to acknowledge that the world that we're living in today is far different [from] the world that we designed the products for 16 or 18 months ago. Our personal lives and our work lives are blended together in a way that is truly unprecedented. Those lines are essentially gone."
The company calls the ZBook Firefly 14 the world's brightest 14-inch mobile workstation. It is built with sustainable ocean-bound plastics and is 8.8% smaller and 5.2% lighter compared to the previous generation, with an 84% screen-to-body ratio. It also has HP Sure View Reflect and defends against firmware and malware attacks with HP Sure Start Gen6.
The ZBook Firefly 15 is HP's lightest-ever 15-inch mobile workstation. It is 9.5% smaller and 1.8% lighter compared to the previous generation and has an up to 86% screen-to-body ratio.
The new ZBooks have options for Nvidia Quadro P520 graphics with 4GB of RAM and up to 10th Gen six-core Intel Core processors so users can stay productive.
The HDR 400 4K UHD display has 500-nits brightness so it can be used outdoors in high ambient-light environments.

HP recently conducted a study that showed 56% of companies are focusing more on well being, with 38% focusing on such features as low blue-light and ergonomics, the company said.
The HP E-Series Monitors featuring HP Eye Ease helps protect tired eyes after staring at a monitor for 12 hours and addresses blue light without affecting color accuracy or introducing any yellow shift.
"You can have great health and wellness as you're spending a lot of time in front of the screen," Nash said.
These are the world's first monitor series to receive the TUV Low Blue Light Hardware Solution certification, the first certification of its kind from the industry leader in low-blue-light certifications. This means that there is no longer a compromise between accurate color and limiting low blue light, which can cause eyestrain and affect your sleep, HP said.
The HP E14 G4 Portable Monitor brings the power of dual-screen productivity and gives users the freedom to work anywhere – whether it's from the kitchen table or the outdoor patio. The world's brightest 14-inch portable monitor weighs only 1.4 pounds and is less than 4.75 millimeters thick, or 36% lighter and 25% thinner than the previous model.
The HP U27 4K Wireless Monitor is the world's first 4K wireless sharing PC monitor. Users can seamlessly connect their PC with the HP Quick Pair Bluetooth App or by pressing the Windows Key + K on their keyboard.
