HP Targets SMB Markets with New Hardware

HP (Hewlett-Packard) Company is introducing a new hardware to a computing environment for small and medium sized businesses and upcoming global markets. This company is disclosing its ProLiant Server at a price range of US$499 based on the configuration and a desktop computer for the dealers at a price below $1,000. HP Company has also decided to unveil two notebook computers at a price tag of $649. These hardware products will be introduced in San Francisco and Beijing.

The hardware does not contain the rapid and newest characteristics of the Hewlett Packard’s more costly products. For example – Higher end servers are available with two and more cores and the HP ProLiant ML115 server comes with a single core processor. According to HP, the SMB marked machines contain features that can be beneficial for the small businesses. Vice President (Ray Boggs) claims that these new hardware are easy to utilize, easy to purchase and easy to preserve. This company has made this hardware by keeping in mind the requirements of the small businesses and upcoming economies. Smaller businesses do not have sufficient wealth or an IT department to preserve their computers; therefore, traders attempt to emphasize on the pricing and design of their products. On the other hand, similar case is to be considered with the upcoming economies who desire to buy their first computers.

According to the vice president of the company, other competitors like Dell Inc. and IBM Corp. are also leading the SMB market specifically in certain countries like Russia, China, Brazil and India. A huge amount of money has been spent ($400) on the IT market internationally in the year 2006. This news has fascinated in drawing the attention of lots of people. The new invention of HP involves Compaq 6715B and 6515B notebook. 6715 notebook PC provides about a 15.4 inch diagonal screen and 6515 notebook PC is available with a 14.1 inch diagonal screen as stated by the director of HP Company (Carol Hess-Nickels). They are prepared to be utilized on the wireless networks and are generally available with a docking station.

The hardware contains few special features which are really treasured. For example – A security element encrypts the whole information into the hard drive in which it is being saved and written. The company also launches the rp5700 desktop computer which has been introduced in the market as an exchange of rp5000. It also provides 10 USB ports which are connected to the peripheral devices like a receipt printer or credit card reader and a bar code reader. It also contains the features such as data storage capacity. This company is also launching the dx3200 (a microtower server) which will also lead the SMB market very soon with a price tag of $379.

Therefore, I hope that the new hardware launched by the HP will be released soon in the market with an attractive price lists and will definitely lead the market.

It seems that after a long siesta, the HP giant has finally awakened to launch its new series of pavilion notebooks which are multimedia-centric and includes dv9014tx. It represents smart looks, it represents sleek body and it represents almost all the features that should be there in a multimedia notebook.
From the last few years HP is in the notebook market, but it has never made an effort to accentuate the design or looks of the notebooks. This time the company has raised a significant step in the direction of appearance and design of the notebooks. Influenced by the fascinating VAIOs from Sony, HP has finally decided to do something creative in this field. This time HP is launching something for its users in combination with the Pavilion dv9104tx.

The main emphasize is given on the exterior of the device, the side contour dock a variety of expansion slots and ports and this I feel is one of the most munificent multimedia collections that I have ever seen. It has USB 2.0 ports; two on each side, a 4-pin Firewire port, a modem jack and Ethernet, a port for propriety expansion, a 5-in-1 card reader, an ExpressCard/54 and there is also output port for HDMI to ensure that it is well equipped for the next generation. This is not the first notebook to provide an output port for HDMI.

If we compare it with the VAIO Sony then you will observe that HP dv9014tx does not support a HD DVD or Blu– ray drive.

There is an infrared port just below the touch pad. Two audio jacks and one microphone jack are also placed in that same area.

The HP notebook runs on Windows XP, Media Centre Edition Operating System. If we talk about the memory then it is nothing to worry about. The device offers 1GB of DDR2-667 that is divided in two parts of 512 MB each; then it has two DDR2 SO-DIMM slots, which can provide maximum memory of 2GB.

Physical dimensions of this alluring HP notebook are 396 x 285 x 31.6- 41.8 mm and it weighs just 3.52 kg. Its battery is also quite effective. HP provides an 8 cell Li-Ion Battery of 4375mAHa and can be used uninterruptedly at 14.4V for two hours.

HP Pavilion dv9014tx multimedia notebook can be regarded as a smart investment. It has few alluring features that can be taken as fresh step in the fild of multimedia notebooks.

When we talk about rare computing power, the laws of Moore are still moving strong during the current years. The main emphasize is given from a gigahertz and megahertz battle to one for which objective is to create a single die with large amount of processors onto it. Even after doing so many efforts, the exterior appearance of the PC is just the same as it was before ten years. The bulky and huge CRT monitors have now been reinstated by the slim and sleek TFT and LCD panels. Even after putting of many efforts on the appearance, the old rectangular framework accommodating the entrails of the computer is still the same.

But now I feel time and technology has completely changed the framework and exterior structure of the PCs. It happened for the first time in 1998 when Apple had introduced its first line of iMac computers. Apple replaced those heavy boxes by incorporating hardware processing into the demonstration. The standard iMac had a little overstuffed but colorful CRT screen monitor. By following the basic trend of model structures, the iMac happened to start using flat LCD panels but its design objective still remained constant and reliable, which is to combine the processor and the display into amazingly pleasing unit. On one side where designs of Apple have quite often inspired the legions of impersonators and there are still few duplicates of iMac out there, where on the other side it hasn’t been any original decent work increasing or civilizing this concept.

This is a sort of challenge that the company has accepted in the form of its new TouchSmart IQ770 PC. Its black and silver exterior, paired with a pioneering touch screen based design can be taken as a contrast factor with the elegance and simplicity of the iMac. But spiking buttons and the multiple connectors and ports of HP IQ770 PC clearly deliver a message of pure power and technology. Instead of simply going for Apple’s traditional design, where technical widget evolve into stylish accessories, the company has opted for its very own, Pc-centric pattern of loading the TouchSmart with as many capabilities and functions as a contemporary multimedia will have need of.

Specifications of HP TouchSmart IQ770:

It has an AMD Turion 64 x 2 D Dual core processor of 1.6 GHz. The chipset is NVIDIA GeForce Go 6100 (ASUSTeK). The operating system is stunning Home Premium Edition of Microsoft Windows Vista.
