HP Compaq dc7900

HP has its sights set on offering up some new computers to desktop PC business users. This line is called the HP Compaq dc7900 and you’ll find starting prices set around $600.

HP’s new Compaq dc7900 line will be available in ultra-slim desktop, small form factor or convertible minitower models. The company hasn’t yet unveiled a lot of technical details, but we do know these models will be Energy Star 4.0 qualified as well as running something new called the HP Firefox Virtual Browser. This is a real-time Web surfing environment which “corrals malicious content from a user’s Internet interactions and removes unwanted programs with a single click.” The dc7900 is apparently the first HP PC to have this offering.

You’ll also find with the dc7900 line some other new security features, including allowing “customers to securely exchange emails with a digital signature” and “permanently remove data from a PC prior to disposal.” It should be available later this month.

    I bought a pc hp dc7900, I need to use it with windows 2000 professional
    when I try to install will not let me. I wonder if there is no way
    to use this machine with windows 2000 professional. The license
    Windows Vista brings is a restore for Windows XP.
