Hewlett-Packard has announced a line of portable lightweight computers aimed at
business travelers to compete with a product range announced by rival
Dell last week.
HP said on Monday that the lineup included the EliteBook 2530p,
which is the smallest and lightest of its computers with a weight of
just over 3 pounds and an extended battery life.
The company said its EliteBook 2730p is an ultra-thin computer that
converts to a touch-screen pen-based tablet computer with a twist of
its screen and weighs 3.7 pounds.
HP said it expected the HP EliteBook 2530p and HP EliteBook 2730p to
become available by early September, with estimated prices of $1,499
and $1,670, respectively.
