HP launches largest-ever notebook collection

HP marked the broadest and most innovative notebook rollout in its history with the introduction of 16 new models designed with new materials and software features.

Unveiled at its Connecting Your World event, the newly redesigned notebook families are available in an array of sizes and configurations - including the all-new HP Elite Book premium series - providing a broad selection of mobile computing options to meet the personal style and performance needs of most anyone.

"HP is creating notebook computers that captivate users with striking design and the right features to deliver a great user experience," said Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP. "Our new line-up further enhances our brand leadership with notebooks that are tailored for the ever-changing mobile lifestyle."

HP's new line-up of consumer notebooks features the sleek new liquid-metallic HP Imprint 2 surface design, while the durable, aircraft-inspired HP EliteBook is one of 10 additions to the company's business notebook portfolio.

HP notebooks are designed with the environment in mind, with energy-efficient features and select materials for easier recycling. Several HP notebooks are available with the choice of an optional mercury-free Illumi Lite LED display, which is lighter and more energy efficient than standard notebook display technology. HP has set a goal to remove all mercury - a material commonly found in notebook screens - from its entire notebook line by the end of 2010.

The HP notebook line-up is also one of the first to offer a choice of the latest processor technologies, including AMD Turion 64 X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile Processors and the Intel Centrino 2 and Intel Centrino 2 with V-Pro technology.
