HP Intros Thin Business Desktops with Solid-State Drives

Hewlett-Packard (News - Alert) has introduced two energy-efficient business desktops, including a slim model with an optional solid-state drive that delivers faster access to data, but less storage than the standard hard disk drive.

 
HP’s Compaq dc7800 Ultra-slim PC is its first business desktop that offers a solid-state drive, which uses less power. The PC is also more durable and reliable than a standard hard drive with a rotating disk.
 
HP has also introduced the Compaq dc5800 business desktop along with its dc7800. The Compaq dc5800 business desktop has an Intel (News - Alert) Core 2 Duo processor and features embedded technology for encrypting data and optional security software. The dc5800 is scheduled to be available on Feb. 11. Prices start at $579.
 
The base model of the dc7800 is available now and it is powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo E2180 processor with a clock speed of 2 GHz. Now, it is possible to connect the system to network power management tools, by adding Intel's vPro technology and the Verdiem (News - Alert) Surveyor software agent. The dc7800 includes HP's most efficient power supply and in terms of size, it is 46 percent smaller than the previous model. The price of the dc7800 starts at $729, which includes an 80 GB hard drive.
 
The solid-state drive is 16 GB and costs an additional $330.
