Inbuilt Internet technology, fast and cost efficient printers for work and bulk printing, stylist consumer convertible laptops, all in one personal computer and workstations for heavy creative work — Hewlett Packard’s (HP) latest innovations redefine style in IT like never before.
Get net without fuss
The US-based tech giant, in collaboration with Fogg Mobile (an Internet services provider), launched HP Data Pass which is an inbuilt long Term Evolution (lTE) wireless mobile broadband technology that enables the users to connect to the net available in selective HP tablet and notebook without approaching a separate data network service provider to activate the Internet.
The users can receive up to 250 MB every month for two years at no additional cost and without contract. HP DataPass will first be made available in Hong Kong and Singapore.
Print all you want
Be it in offices, factories or in shops, for speedy quality printing in bulk, the multinational information technology corporation has come up with a PageWide technology that has the capacity to print at a lower cost per page and in high speed. The printer has both ink and laser printing option. This innovative technology consists of more than 200,000 nozzles on a stationary print bar and spans the width of the page. This allows consumers to print a variety of black-and-white and colour projects.
The company has also launched Officejet Pro 6830 eAiO e-all-in-one printer that produces laser-like quality prints for up to 50 per cent less cost per page than competitive colour laser printers. It also allows scanning straight to the USB flash drive or scanning to email via the cloud.
Dream Workstation
For creative professionals from the field of engineering, CAD (computer-aided design), AEC (architecture, engineering and construction), digital media, etc the Dl380z Virtual Workstation provides remote access to workstation-class applications from a variety of devices including notebooks and tablets. These new technologies solve storage bottlenecks and improves remote content collaboration. This workstation supports dual NVIDIA GRID K2 graphics cards and NVIDIA GRID GPU virtualisation that enables support of up to eight users in one Dl380z. NVIDIA Quadro K6000, K5000 and K4000 graphics cards are also supported. By keeping the compute engine co-located with high-performance storage arrays in the data center, customers can experience dramatically reduced project load times.
Get stylish
The new range of laptops includes the HP Pavilion 15-p001TX and Pavilion 15-p028TX, featuring 15.6-inch displays. The laptops have Windows 8.1 64-bit OS, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 1TB HDD and Nvidia GeForce 830M dedicated GPU.
The only difference between the two is that HP Pavilion 15-p001TX comes with Intel Core i5-4210U processor with Intel HD Graphics 4400 whereas HP Pavilion 15-p028TX comes with Intel Core i3-4030U processor paired with Intel HD Graphics 4400.
