HP 400 Wired Backlit Keyboard

The HP 400 Wired Backlit Keyboard is designed for professional settings, sporting 12 programmable keys with backlit LED illumination, allowing for quiet typing.

The keyboard comes with a USB-C cable, and it will include a USB-A adapter, for faster connectivity.

HP 430 Programmable Wireless Keypad

This one is a fully customizable Bluetooth mechanical keypad, with configurable keys and swapable keycaps.

From the look of it, as you can see below, it also seems to be ultra-portable, so users will be able to take it with them anywhere they go, as it can easily fit in a pocket.

HP 690 Rechargeable Wireless Mouse

This mouse has 6 programmable buttons, it’s capable of wireless Qi charging, and it will connect up to 3 devices, through Bluetooth or Microsoft Swift Pair.

HP 960 Ergonomic Wireless Keyboard

This fantastic keyboard features a split-zone layout which greatly reduces hand muscle stress, and a separate numeric keypad, with multiple ergonomic adjustments to fit your precise hand position.

It will be a great addition to office settings, but by the looks of it, it could also be used for more professional tasks, such as coding, due to its versatility.

HP Series 5 Monitors – 9 monitors

HP is also coming with 9 monitors ranging from 24 to 32 inches, 100Hz refresh rate across the board, 1500:1 contrast ratio, 2 HDMI ports on all 27-inch monitors, and Eyesafe Certification.

These will be perfect for every situation, as each monitor has a thin design, and can be easily carried over rooms, offices, and so on.

They can be used for Windows devices, sure, but the HP Series 5 Monitors are also capable of connecting to Chromebooks, so it can be the perfect choice for those who want to transform their home offices into a work setting.

HP Spectre x360 14 and 16

HP will also debut two new Spectre x360 laptops designed for content production, media editing, and office work. The laptops come with a new 9MP webcam with AI improvements and security features, meant to keep your files safe when you’re away from them. We’re talking about features such as privacy alert, or wake on-approach.

They also come with an OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, that will automatically dim at a glance, which means there will be a longer battery life all around.

HP Spectre x360 14 and 16 also sport Intel Core Ultra CPUs (H models thanks to new cooling technologies), Nvidia RTX graphics (up to 4050 on the 16-inch model), and the new NPU engine for sustained AI tasks, 4 speakers tuned in partnership with Poly.

All of these specs will make the laptops useful devices to have for content production, especially media editing in apps such as Photoshop, or Premiere Pro.

One important characteristic to mention is the AI-enhanced adaptable video calls, which means your video calls will automatically be enhanced with extra-security features, such as Automatic framing and Background Blur.

HP USB-C Travel Hub G3

This USB-C travel hub has plug-and-play connectivity, and it features a sturdy design with no less than 5 ports (USB-C, USB-A, and HDMI ports).

It is a universal travel hub, and most devices should connect to it.

Poly Voyager Free 20 Earbuds

With a sleek design and a small form factor, the Polu Voyager Free 20 Earbuds are capable of hybrid adaptive noise cancelling.

Plus, they have a battery life of up to 28 hours, so you won’t have to worry about recharging them often.

The HP’s productivity family also includes an array of new devices meant for gamers. Our trusted sources told us they will be unveiled at CES 2024 on the 8th of January, and we already have exclusive images and info about them.
