HP Unloads Slew of New Desktop Products

HP took the bulk approach to new product announcements on Monday by launching three new customizable PCs, a digital storage device, a monitor, and a webcam, all at once.

The three new customizable PCs include an entertainment machine, mid-priced green machine, and budget machine. The HP Pavilion Elite m9200t, starting at $799, offers Intel Core 2 Duo processors up to 3.0 GHz along with a handful of other premium options such as up to 1TB hard drives, and an optional Blu-Ray burner. The Pavilion a6460t, which runs for $549 and up, gets Energy Star certification and an 80 Plus power supply to cut energy use, but can still pack an Intel Core 2 Quad processor under the hood, along with an optional TV tuner for media use. Finally, the Pavilion a6400z sells for only $299 in its base configuration, but still includes a 1.8GHz AMD Dual-Core processor, Nvidia GeForce 6150 graphics card, 1GB memory and 250GB hard drive.

Apple has a bunch of new products coming, but not this year

Tim Cook Apple Unleashed

Apple may have a lot coming our way in 2023, if the latest rumors are to be believed. We could see everything from a 15-inch MacBook Air to an M3 iMac to a VR headset. While this is exciting, it may mean that the end of the year will be left more bare, with no Apple event scheduled for October.

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman dropped the report about the apparent lack of an Apple event in his weekly newsletter, Power On, over the weekend. Gurman is considered a highly accurate source for reports on future Apple products, so when he says there will be no Apple event next month, you can depend on it.

New HP Spectre x360 16 ditches Nvidia, embraces Intel Arc

The new HP Spectre x360 16 in use on a desk.

The rollout of Intel's highly anticipated discrete GPUs has been slow and confusing. But today, they just scored a big win with the announcement that HP's most premium laptop, the Spectre x360 16, will be sold with Intel's Arc instead of Nvidia's RTX graphics.

The new Spectre x360 16 comes with an option for an Arc A370M on board, in addition to an option for Iris Xe graphics for the $1,650 base configuration. The Arc A370M comes with 4GB of GDDR6 dedicated memory. That is on top of the 16GB or 32GB of onboard device RAM, as well as the up to 2TB NVMe solid-state drive on the device.
