HP is also striving to create the ‘Perfect Office’ with its notebook docking station of the same name. HP’s Kevin Yap said the latter is ideal for call centres and such that need to “keep their secure stuff sitting on the data server, but don’t need as much processing power.” He also said that this is “one of the more interesting sides of the HP range as it is seeing 50 percent growth annually.” The company’s range of business desktop products includes four new models (from $900) which support the latest dual core processors and Intel vPro technology as well as a Debian Linux-based Thin Client ($700) which can be used in server based computing solutions or as a customizable client. But with HP’s technology, combined with Intel’s and Engin’s – SMBs will see faster results and cost reductions,” said HP’s Paul Robson. “Analysts are predicting a tough year for the IT sector in 2007, as although there is a lot of talk about Intel Viiv and Microsoft Vista, but no obvious reason to buy.

HP has launched a range of new Smart Office products including workstations, notebooks, printers and docking stations designed for the SMB market in a bid to focus on new markets and technologies.
