HP today announced new products, technology and tools designed to help small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) improve productivity and increase their connectivity.

When it comes to IT purchasing decisions, many SMBs struggle to meet all of their needs in balancing performance, quality and design. HP understands this and is helping SMBs achieve this balance with high-performance notebook PCs that offer cutting-edge design and features, and reliable print solutions that are easily integrated into business environments. Furthermore, HP's offerings are designed to meet the budgets of SMBs while providing an increased focus on productivity and manageability.






HP's new SMB offerings include:
° HP ProBook 400 Series business notebooks deliver sleek design, great battery life, solid durability and essential security features to meet everyday work demands.
° HP 200 Series business notebooks deliver essential multimedia tools and connectivity for home and office.
° HP Scanjet Sheet-feed Scanner and HP LaserJet and HP Officejet printers help businesses proactively manage their printing and imaging ecosystems to save time and money.

"Our SMB customers often play multiple roles within their organization -- from managers to accounting to IT -- and they require flexible, high-performance tools to complete their varied business tasks," said Chris Ogburn, director, Americas Small and Medium-sized Business and Channel Marketing, HP. "HP is focused on providing user-friendly technologies that improve performance and empower our customers, tearing down productivity barriers with ultra mobile and powerful solutions."

The HP ProBook 400 series notebooks will positively impact SMBs with quick, long-lasting productivity through a new hybrid hard drive option that offers the responsiveness of an SSD with the capacity of a traditional hard drive, connectivity options that include 4G WWAN and the peace of mind of HP Client Security.

I suspect that these laptops will be available with the AMD Richland chippies very soon. If the pricing isn't for a stripped down model they will be very enticing.
