HP Introduces new line-up of 360 degree convertible Tablets and Laptops

June 1, 2014 Posted by Contributor

In an attempt to satisfy consumers in the post-PC era, the American multinational tech giant Hewlett-Packard has unveiled a line of portable products like laptops, Chromebooks and tablets for the consumer market.

The new devices would be quit fascinating for the consumers as their feature hybrid designs and operating system choices will fit the way they work and play.

Insiders say the tech giant has launched these items in an attempt to spread its bets across Windows 8.1, Android, and Google’s Chrome OS.

“Customers have made it clear that they need devices that adapt to work and play the way they do. We’re working really hard to raise the bar on our products, focusing on the customer experience. This is about the reinvention of our PC business,” said Mike Nash, vice president of product management at the consumer personal systems division at HP, in a press briefing.

According to Nash, the category for the hybrid of laptops and tablets is growing 1,000 percent a year and HP has 45 percent of the overall laptop market. To meet the consumers’ demand, Nash said that product design teams are constantly researching new trends, materials and design styles.

Latest products

The 2-in-1 laptops, i.e. the laptops that have functions of tablets too, have hinges that allow screens to rotate at 360-degree. This will allow consumers to use the laptops in whichever position they want. They can also fold them as a tablet.

The most significant change in these products is that the HP has shifted the hard disk drive from the keyboard base to the tablet screen. This change will allow the user to store a lot more data while using the device as a tablet.

The new machines include the touch-enabled HP Envy x360 and the HP Pavilion x360. These laptops have a swivel hinge that changes them from a laptop clamshell, to a stand, tent-style device, or tablet. Both devices have Blu-ray optical drives because consumers still want them, Nash said.
