Top HP PC Accessories Every Small Business Should Consider | HP® Tech Takes (2024)

Computers help boost productivity by working smarter, using tools and accessories to get better quality results with less effort, and resolving issues in less time.

Enhancing productivity and streamlining operations with more efficient working practices can help you work harder and faster while expending less effort - a win-win for your business. When using IT, better efficiency can come through completing tasks quicker or reducing errors, so you don’t need to spend as long resolving problems.

We’ll also look at how LaserJet printers can handle typical hardcopy tasks of small businesses, and the benefits of the HP Smart system in getting your computer and printer working in harmony.

Next, we’ll look at how external monitors can transform a business laptop into a workstation supporting image-intensive tasks, whether graphic design work or reading through large volumes of text or numeric spreadsheets. Then, we’ll see how external keyboards and mice can make a big difference to the ergonomics of your environment if you regularly undertake typing or data entry work.

Finally, we’ll look at how headsets and microphones can make a difference in online collaborative working and conferencing, particularly if you work in a noisy environment.

Accessories for PCs can help make work more accessible, improve working ergonomics, make information easier to see or reduce the time you spend setting up equipment.

HP docking stations

Docking stations make light work of connecting your devices, peripherals and accessories without having a mess of wires and cables running across your workspace. Eliminating desktop clutter makes it easier to work. You can use your mouse without worrying about getting tangled and find those crucial pieces of paper quicker when your space is clutter-free.

Docking stations also remove the pain of linking devices from various manufacturers that can sometimes use different connector types. The station sorts the compatibility issues and reduces the cables you need to keep close. This interconnectivity can save valuable time when connecting to a new device or moving your computer to a different location.

Docking stations mean you can plug your computer into the docking station at the start of the day, and you’re ready to start work. Then, at the end of the day, you unplug and take the computer with you. Gone is the need to spend time trying to find all the necessary computer accessories and cables to make the PC work.

HP LaserJet printers

Printers are an established element of any small business, able to handle any print task, from one-off correspondence to mass-produced marketing materials. As any small business owner, there is still a need to generate paper copies of certain contractual, legal and regulatory documents. LaserJet technology is ideal for printing high volumes of monochrome documents with fast print rates relative to inkjet technology.

HP LaserJet printers offer enormous flexibility in printing capabilities in a small physical footprint that won’t hog desk space. Economical models are available for low production volumes, while higher performance models can handle high volume, high-quality print runs. If your business generates retail products, our HP LaserJets range can handle that too.

HP business monitors

HP’s business monitors offer a range of high-resolution displays that make visual interpretation easier thanks to brighter, clearer, larger images. External displays can help improve work output and reduce the risk of eye strain when working for extended periods. This feature can be vital if your work involves closely studying the screen when working on heavily populated spreadsheets or creating graphical designs.

Our business monitors are also available with Eyesafe® certification, which means they meet TÜV low blue light requirements and the Eyesafe standards for protecting your eyes from any harmful effects of blue light without distorting colours. This feature actively reduces eyestrain issues associated with long periods of usage. This can be vital where your role involves long periods of concentrated screen viewing with limited opportunities to take breaks.

Large area screens can also improve multitasking by allowing you to have more windows open and visible at the same time, reducing time spent switching between different windows that sit over each other or need to be minimised when not in use due to screen size limitations.

Business monitors can significantly enhance work comfort for laptop users, with additional large-screen monitors offering enormous ergonomic benefits. External business monitors let you position the screen optimally to make work more comfortable. You can ensure the screen is at your eye level and arm’s length, irrespective of where you set your computer.

HP wireless keyboards and mice

One of the best ways to improve productivity on the computer is to have a good-sized keyboard and ergonomic mouse that you can place in front of you in the most comfortable position. Laptop users will know that it’s not always possible to have the computer positioned in the best place to type using the integral keyboard and the touchpad pointer control.

Having the ability to have your hands in the optimum typing position can reduce stress and strain on your wrist joints and arm muscles. Having a separate mouse on one side makes switching between different controls easier.

Choosing wireless keyboards and mice will also reduce the number of trailing wires across your desk and offer greater flexibility in where and how you work. The latest wireless technology allows batteries to last up to 2 years before replacement or recharging.

An additional benefit of a separate keyboard and mouse is that these accessories are immune from laptop size and design constraints, meaning they can have a more ergonomic design and better button spacing and positioning. Consequently, they can improve your typing speed and accuracy, reduce strain, and contribute to better work efficiency.

HP headsets and mics

Small businesses were the first to recognise the benefits of remote and hybrid work practices and the advantages of a decentralised workforce to stay agile and competitive. However, collaboration across different locations only works if everyone can communicate clearly with each other.

Internet-based phone calls and video call technology have significantly progressed over the last few years. They are now the tool of choice for staying in touch, managing supply chains and holding online meetings.

The ability to hear others and for them to hear you impact effectiveness. Struggling to understand what everyone is saying, especially when several people talk at once, can considerably hinder getting the job done. Accessories are available to solve these issues and boost online collaboration.

Headsets can allow you to hear clearly, especially when working in a noisy environment. The latest microphone technology can also eliminate unwanted background noise so others can listen to you more easily and be less likely to mishear or miss entirely any important details.

Summary

HP small business accessories can increase productivity in business settings by allowing you to work more efficiently and complete tasks faster with better accuracy - producing better business results. They help improve comfort levels so you can work for longer and allow you to concentrate better.

HP business accessories can offer significant working improvements for laptop users, offering features and ergonomics that you would generally find due to the design constraints imposed on portable computers. The ability to move the keyboard, mouse, screen and computer apart to optimal working positions can have a significant impact on how easy and comfortable it is to use.
