HP has announced three new business laptops: the 14-inch EliteBook 8460w, 15.6-inch 8560w and the 17.3-inch 8760w. That last one looks like it is the high end model as it comes with your choice of Sandy Bridge processors up to a Core i7-2920XM, AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro graphics with up to 4GB of memory, and up to three hard drives with RAID 5 support.

With the other two EliteBooks, you can still get up to a Core i7-2820QM, but there’s no option for integrated graphics. All three will be available next month. Prices start at $1,299, $1,349 and $1,899.

HP is hard at work readying two new portable notebooks for release, the EliteBook 2560p and 2760p. The news comes from HP itself and a NotebookItalia report, which reveals some specs for the 12.1-inch notebooks.

They might replace the current 12.1-inch 2540p and 2740p as they are getting long in the tooth at about a year old. The 2760 will be a convertible tablet, and the 2560 a more traditional notebook. Both will feature USB 3.0, DisplayPort and your choice of 1.4GHz Core i5, 1.6GHz Core i7 and 2.7GHz Core i7 chips. They may also have up to 16GB of RAM and a Blu-ray drive. The 2760p offers an LED-backlit 1366×768 display and an optional 1440×900.

HP’s CEO Leo Apotheker has confirmed at the latest HP Summit that the TouchPad will be available starting in June of 2011. The device will be released in the US first, with global availability following soon after. To refresh your memory, the WebOS 3.0-powered tablet features a 9.7-inch (1024 x 768) multi-touch capacitive display, and a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor.

Other specs include 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, an accelerometer, a light sensor, A-GPS (3G modes only), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a micro-USB port, 3.5mm headset jack and a 6300mAh battery. The HP TouchPad is priced starting at $499.

HP is all about business with it’s new HP Omni Pro 110 PC. The business-oriented desktop has a 20-inch widescreen display with an HD anti-glare display, and high-performance stereo speakers.

Other features include a webcam with a microphone, a DVD writer and a 6-in-1 media card reader. The HP Omni Pro 110 PC also has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DDR3 SDRAM, up to a 1TB hard disk drive and optional HP Power Assistant software. ENERGY STAR-qualified models are also available. It will be available soon with prices starting at $639.

HP’s TouchPad has shown up in a Vietnamese leak with a video showing that the tablet will have 3G soon. It shows a 32GB version with a SIM card slot for 3G on HSPA networks. They didn’t load webOS 3.0 because it was low on power, but a side-by-side with an original iPad showed it to be nearly identical in size to the original iPad, which has the same 9.7-inch screen size.

Versions of 3G have been promised by HP and are rumored to be arriving as early as September in AT&T. A Verizon 4G edition with LTE is also expected for the same time and would need its own SIM slot. Officially, only a Wi-Fi version is due to arrive by this summer.

HP has introduced two new all-in-one PCs: the TouchSmart 610z and 610xt. Both come with your choice of ATI Radeon or nVidia GeForce graphics cards, up to a 1TB hard drive, a DVD SuperMulti burner, a 6-in-1 card reader and a 23-inch diagonal HD multi touch display, which can recline up to 60 degrees and tilt forward up to 5 degrees.

Both computers also support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and an optional TV tuner. The HP TouchSmart 610z is powered by an AMD Athlon or Phenom processor and up to 10GB of RAM, while the HP TouchSmart 610xt is powered by an Intel Core i5 or i7 CPU with up to 12GB of memory. The HP TouchSmart 610z retails for $899.99, while the HP TouchSmart 610xt is $1,099.99.

We told you about the HP TouchPad tablet earlier this month and of course we were intrigued by HP’s webOS 3.0-powered TouchPad. Now DigiTimes is reporting that we’ll be able to get our hands on one in just a couple of months. HP’s upstream component partners expect the device to go on sale in April, with delivery to retailers by the end of March.

The Motorola XOOM is set to launch on February 24th, and a rumored update to the iPad is also expected to be coming soon, so the TouchPad will have plenty of competition. HP hasn’t announced pricing for the TouchPad yet, but if it is priced attractively, the device may be able to attract buyers.

HP has announced the HP Veer, a compact smartphone that makes up for its size with a lot of features. How small is it? The size of a credit card and about as thick as a deck of cards. It runs webOS 2, with support for Adobe Flash, has a small screen and a slide-out QWERTY keyboard.

Other features include an 800MHz processor, a 2.57″ display, 8 GB of internal storage, a 5 megapixel camera, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and HP Touchstone support. Nothing on price yet, but it will arrive this spring. This is obviously aimed at the female of the species.

The Pre 2 is available for pre-order tomorrow, so we aren’t sure why HP has announced this one now. It kind of kills sales of the Pre 2. Sucks for that model. The Pre 3 is HP’s new webOS phone, packing decent specs. The Pre 3 will sport a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8x55 processor clocked to 1.4GHz, a 3.58″ touchscreen (480 x 800), 8 or 16 GB of internal storage, and Flash support.

It also features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5 megapixel rear camera with flash, 720p HD video recording, a VGA front facing camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and HP Touchstone support. Yeah, screw the Pre 2. You’ll want to wait for this one.

At HP’s webOS event today, the first webOS tablet called TouchPad was introduced. The TouchPad features a Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core 1.2GHz processor, a 9.7″ touchscreen (1024 x 768), 16 or 32GB of storage, Flash support, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, internal stereo speakers, Beats Audio, a 1.3 megapixel front facing camera, and HP Touchstone support.

That is one nice feature set. The iPad 2, PlayBook and Xoom just got some serious competition. Nothing on price yet, but it will be available this summer.

So, about that webOS tablet. We now have some leaked specs and a name. It will apparently be called the TouchPad. It will weigh 1.5 pounds and will measure 13mm thick.

There was also a rumor about another device that might be a small phone, but we have no details yet. The webOS event is happening soon so we should learn more quickly.

HP’s webOS event is going to unveil more than one webOS device. We know this thanks to HP’s online shopping page, which has leaked some product names, like the HP Veer, Pre 3 and the TouchPad. Looks like these devices will offer the webOS experience in “S, M and L” flavors.

The lineup sure looks interesting. In their excitement somebody must have published the info a tad early and leaked these devices. We will know more soon.

HP has announced some new consumer notebooks that are based on HP’s MUSE (materials, usability, sensory appeal and experience) design philosophy. The new notebooks can be personalized with your choice of 17 exclusive wallpapers designed by six artists.

The Pavilion dv6 and dv7 notebooks use design elements from the company’s ENVY line and feature sleek metal finishing, HP’s exclusive Beats Audio, USB 3.0, on-board quad speakers and the dv7 also includes a subwoofer. Screen sizes are 15.6 and 17.3 inches and are powered by Intel’s second-generation Core i5 and i7 processors and optional AMD Radeon 6000 graphics. You also have the option of a Blu-ray disc player and up to 1TB of storage on the dv6 and 2TB of storage on the dv7.

Hp’s TouchSmart 610 and 9300 Elite Business PCs feature displays that can recline up to 60 degrees, making sure that the surface is easier to use. The 23-inch displays feature a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and the TouchSmart 610 also has a TouchSmart software layer, for finger-friendly Hulu, Netflix and Twitter apps.

The 610 has Intel and AMD desktop processor options, up to 16GB of RAM, 1TB of storage, Blu-ray drive, 1.3-megapixel camera and Beats Audio speakers. The 9300 has Intel’s latest Sandy Bridge processors, a 160GB SSD option, 2-megapixel camera and facial recognition software. The 610 will cost $900 and be available on February 9th, while the 9300 will arrive in May for an unknown price.

Sure, we’ve seen the iPad fitted into a vehicle’s dashboard before, but it’s still not a very common occurrence. Besides, how often do you see a Windows 7 tablet installed in a vehicle? This is the first time as far as we know.

When HP decided to open its Vancouver store, it customized a GMC Yukon Denali truck with an HP Slate embedded in the dash. I guess they want you to get a spare tablet to integrate into your vehicle so they can double sales.
