At an event in Shanghai, HP introduced a fleet of new PCs for consumer and business users that included Ultrabooks and what it’s calling “Sleekbooks.” But HP says Apple was not an influence in the design of these models. Hewlett-Packard has been busy. At an event at the Shanghai Expo Center in China May 9, the company, which was once on the verge of doing away with its PC unit, introduced more new business and consumer-geared PC models than any single person could reasonably keep track of. Most likely to stand out from the pack are new portfolios of Ultrabooks and what HP is calling “Sleekbooks.” “The Ultrabook is quickly becoming the must-have solution for anyone who wants performance, responsiveness and a secure computing experience in a thin, elegant form factor,” Kirk Skaugen, an Intel vice president and general manager, said of the new HP lineup, which is equipped with Intel’s chips and other technologies.
