Hewlett Packard (HP) India has announced the Compaq dc7800, claimed to be the industry’s first desktop PC incorporating a Solid State hard drive (SSD), coming in an ultra-slim form factor.
Meant for business users, the dc7800 boasts a slew of environmentally-friendly features to comply with stringent environmental requirements of the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Gold registry.
The included SSD allows for superior performance and durability in the form of near-instant access to data and elimination of moving parts that typically cause a lot of wear and tear. There are other advantages too, including faster boot times, improved power efficiency, shock improvement, and a smaller overall footprint. According to HP, dc7800 is the smallest business-ready desktop being around 46 percent smaller than its predecessors, at the same time providing 85 percent power efficiency.
During the launch, Arun Rao, country manager (business desktop PCs - personal systems group) of HP India, reiterated HP’s commitment towards developing products that not only help business customers in being more productive but also reduce operating costs and the impact on the environment.
The Compaq dc7800 will be out on the market beginning May 1 and will cost $1012 USD or Rs 40,000 INR.
