The gear is resistant to strong cleaning materials which means they can be cleaned within nine inches of their lives and are being targeted for hospitals.

There are three products – the HP’s EliteOne 800 Healthcare Edition All-in-One desktop, there’s the 27-inch HP Healthcare Edition Clinical Review Display, and the EliteBook 840 Healthcare Edition notebook.

 All three products are built to withstand deterioration from being cleaned with germicidal wipes, which may help reduce the spread of healthcare-related infections.

HP has included a few other features specifically meant to help hospital workers. The Notebook’s touchpad recognises touch from people wearing surgical gloves. The notebook, desktop, and display also have RFID readers so that workers can sign in by tapping their work badges on the touchpad. The laptop also has a fingerprint reader.

The HP EliteBook has a physically isolated security controller, which will supposedly make it more difficult for hackers to access. It also has a privacy screen so that onlookers can’t read the screen from the side. The Elitebook is slated for release in May, while the display and desktop are expected in June.

Of course there is still no cure for a buggy operating system.
