HP fuses style and entertainment in next-generation notebook portfolio

The entertainment-packed HP Pavilion dv4, dv5 and dv7 notebook series are each adorned with a sleek, liquid-metallic Mesh Imprint finish, "magical chrome" touch controls that appear at the touch of a finger, and intuitive, one-click access to high-quality TV, photos, movies and music from nearly any location.

Also new is the Compaq Presario CQ50 series, combining high value with an attractive design.

HP also announced accessories to personalise and extend the mobile experience.

"HP is creating notebook computers that captivate consumers by combining sleek and striking designs with immersive entertainment capabilities that make for a great user experience,"

said Elena Danici, Consumer Products Manager, PSG, HP Middle East.

Danici added, "Our new line-up raises the bar even higher with notebooks that are tailored for the ever-changing lifestyle of people who are on the go and need to stay connected."

HP Pavilion notebooks deliver exquisite design and powerful entertainment

Inspired by a close eye on future fashion trends and extensive customer research, the HP Pavilion notebooks set a new standard in notebook design with innovations such as the Mesh Imprint surface design and invisible "magical chrome" controls that light up and become fully interactive upon power up. Smooth lines, optional HP BrightView Infinity Widescreen flush-glass screens, along with colour-matched keyboards and touch pads create a frameless, thin and elegant appearance.

The new HP Pavilion notebook series provide consumers a choice of the latest AMD and Intel processors and a high-speed eSATA interface for backup to external storage drives. The series also introduce built-in HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection technology, previously only available in HP business-class notebooks. This technology automatically detects if a notebook has been dropped and, while the notebook is on its brief journey to the floor, automatically stops the hard drive from spinning, helping to prevent the loss of files and data.

Matching outer style with inner power, the new HP Pavilion series offer a broad range of features and sizes to match consumers' lifestyles.
• The HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment Notebook PC packs the latest technology into a 14.1-inch diagonal display. Entertainment-ready, the HP Pavilion dv4 offers a choice of integrated TV tuner and Blu-ray optical drive, delivering a portable high-definition experience.
