NEW YORK |
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N) has announced a line of portable lightweight computers aimed at business travelers to compete with a product range announced by rival Dell Inc (DELL.O) 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.
