On June 10th, HP introduced 16 new notebook models designed with new materials and software features at their ‘Connecting Your World’ event. The consumer models feature the sleek new liquid-metallic HP Imprint 2 surface design.  The HP Elitebook business series notebooks feature a durable, aircraft-inspired look.

The new HP Pavilion notebook consumer-focused notebooks have the innovative HP ProtectSmart Hard Drive Protection feature which detects when the notebook has been dropped, and during the fall, automatically stops the hard drive from spinning, helping to prevent the loss of files and data.

Buyers of the consumer series also have the option of a high-speed eSATA interface for backing up data to external storage drives. Accessories for the new notebooks include the HP xb4 Notebook Media Docking Station and HP Bluetooth(R) Stereo Headphones with active noise cancellation.

For the working professional on the go, the new Elitebook series notebooks include a protective coating of anodized aluminum on the palm-rest surface that is six times more scratch-resistant than that used in previous notebooks. EliteBook also includes HP QuickLook 2 software. HP has set a goal to remove any mercury from their notebook screens in the next two years.  Mercury is commonly found in notebook screens and florescent style light bulbs.
