HP laptop as a piece of notebook

For a real world test of the Hewlett-Packard computer outrageous new HDX laptop, which taken in a coffee shop three blocks from my office.

Halfway was my sore arm, his hand pressed on the case and I was sweating a spasm of shock that would muscle and the collapse of the $ 3,600 machine on the sidewalk. The HDX pushes the definition of mobile computing, is the other end of the spectrum to the iPhone. Is a £ 15.5 HP monster nicknamed "The Dragon", presumably because the graphics in the case.

It is built around a screen of 20.1 inches is bigger and sharper than many TVs. It comes with a digital TV tuner, video recorder and a DVD burner that plays HD movies HD-DVD. It also has a remote control, four speakers and a Triple Bass Reflex Subwoofer. "

Inside is a hardware platform above, including an Intel Core 2 Duo T7700, two hard drives and an ATI HD 2600 XT graphics card.

But the power the big screen takes a toll on the battery (Such as HP Pavilion zd7000 battery, battery Hp PP2182D href = "http://www.itsbattery.com/battery-for-laptop/HP-laptop-battery/HP-342661-001-battery.htm"> HP 342661-001 battery) life. Has lasting two hours unplugged thin, and the AC adapter is huge, the addition of several kilos in weight.

It's a crazy machine. It's hard to believe that many people buy.

But it is a good example of the lengths PC manufacturers develop new products Elegant and expanding a market that is saturated and less affected by waves of new technology.

"This is a dilemma for the PC industry is facing: How to move from a world in which you has a unique form factor for an industry that deals with niche markets and personalization, "said David Daoud, an IDC research director, following the computer sales.

"The challenge is that you have to propose new ideas. That's what HP is clearly," Daud said.

Thus, if a slightly faster processor and Windows Vista are not sufficient to make the upgrade, you may be interested in a laptop new and colorful makes a statement about your taste.

I am concerned, however, that my "Enter the Dragon" in coffee sent the wrong message.

The place was full of metrosexuals with trim little MacBook. Some seemed more than he took the lid to open the massive big screen in an 8-inch silver medal hinge seems to have been lifted from an Apple iMac.

They do not seem jealous. I have been wondering if I was trying to overcompensate for something. It's like driving Hummer at Whole Foods.

Daoud said monster notebooks will never be an important part of the PC market. Most prefer laptops with screens in the range from 14 inches to 16 inches.

However, IDC predicts that notebook sales of 19 inches or more will double in the next three years - 0.5 percent of all PCs sold to 1 percent. This translates into sales of up to 1.6 million units per year.

Who will buy these things?

"We developed this machine for entertainment enthusiasts ... as someone who only needs a very powerful computer to do something, "said Kevin Wentzel, technical marketing manager at HP.

People who want a stylish machine to replace your computer Desktop may be interested, "he said. You can also appeal to people who do video editing in the field, or vacation homes in which they wish to do so along the PC a few times a year.

"Even if there is something you carry every day, is still very capable laptop," said Wentzel. "That more or less replaces any desktop you might think. "

Company forecasts

HP plans to sell enough to cover their investment design and make a profit, Wentzel said.

HP is difficult to guess now. He became the world's largest maker of PC and more, said last week past its best quarter since 2000, including a 74 percent increase in sales of notebook computers.

HP began selling online in July and HDX month in stores next year. It starts at $ 2999, but the model I tested had extras, such as larger hard drives.

slow start

During a week of occasional use, the system worked pretty well, aside from the beginning always slow Vista and the annoying package Norton and AOL software.

HP includes its own entertainment program, which implements features such as TV, music or DVD when you press the buttons above the keyboard.

But the program was slow to start and stalled it a few times. No polish Vista Media Center software, which also comes with HDX.

It is disappointing HP does not offer a touchscreen option to take advantage of this great building, but neglected integrated into Vista.

Like a laptop, the HDX has some deficiencies.

But if you are looking for a premium badge to your office PC, it might be useful in short (especially since HP adds a even stronger, with a 1080p screen expected later this year.)

The HDX starts to get interesting when you do it from a different angle.

The Lean Startup By Ries, Eric $31.64 Most startups are built to fail. But those failures, according to entrepreneur Eric Ries, are preventable. Startups dont fail because of bad execution, or missed deadlines, or blown budgets. They fail because they are building something nobody wants. Whether they arise from someones garage or are created within a mature Fortune 500 organization, new ventures, by definition, are designed to create new products or services under conditions of extreme uncertainly. Their primary mission is to find out what customers ultimately will buy. One of the central premises of The Lean Startup movement is what Ries calls validated learning about the customer. It is a way of getting continuous feedback from customers so that the company can shift directions or alter its plans inch by inch, minute by minute.
