HP
laptops come in variety of models to suit the needs
of the most basic tasks to the most demanding ones. They are offered
in two basic categories: for business and home users. The HP - Hewlett
Packard company competes fiercely for the top position in these
broad categories with Dell, and constantly produces greatly discounted
offers to get market share.
HP's merger with Compaq last year has added a new
dimension to the company. The combined HP-Compaq has a great tradition
in innovation, with such acquired companies as Digital and Tandem.
HP offers, in addition to just laptops,
to be a one-stop-shop for all your mobile needs. As a proof of this,
it is speculated that HP is planning to manufacture a cellular phone.
Partner merchants that offer HP Notebooks and Accessories
at great prices:
They already have the HP iPaq (formerly called Compaq
iPaq), which provides a stepping stone for the company to the next
generation laptops, with touch-screens and under 3 lbs. weight.
HP-Compaq's modus-operandi calls for aggressive
customer acquisition methods, which should ensure that you see price
conscious offers from HP in the future as well.
HP provides laptops for the two main categories, business
and home users. The line of laptops offered mainly for home users
and small businesses is "Pavilion".
The
two subcategories under the “Pavilion” mark are:
HP Pavilion ze4000 series
These models are offered with lower performance
features and more affordable prices. The series offer great multimedia
and digital imaging capabilities.
HP Pavilion ze5000 series
A bit heavier design and better performance aim for this series
to be a serious contender to be used as desktop computer replacements.
HP Laptops for Businesses
When HP and Compaq merged, production for HP laptops
targeted at businesses, the OmniBooks and Vectras, were discontinued.
However, there's now something new for businesses
under the HP label. The novelty is a series of laptops called "HP
Compaq Business Notebooks".
This series offers the latest Intel Centrino mobile
technologies and wireless capabilities for business users. They're
also a sight for sore notebook eyes.
Select models carry the Pentium M processor, which,
for its part, ensures up to 5 hours operational time with a standard
battery.
