Hewlett-Packard Co has announced a line of portable lightweight computers aimed at business travellers to compete with a product range announced by rival Dell Inc last week. HP said that the line-up included the EliteBook 2530p, which is the smallest and lightest of its computers with a weight of just over three 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.
