Leading computer maker Hewlett Packard has landed with a splash at CES, introducing a plethora of new and revamped computing products targeting essentially all market segments—including the low-cost ultra-portable market.
First up for the gamers in the crowd, HP has announced its new HP Firebird desktop gaming rig, featuring Voodoo DNA. The system is the successor to last year’s BlackBird 002, and features an Intel Core 2 Quad CPU, dual Nvidia GeForce 9800S SLI graphics cards, two hot-swappable 320 GB hard drives, and a liquid cooling system to keep the machine running efficiently and quiet. The systems should go on sale from HP’s Voodoo subsidiary this week, with retailers setting their hands on them by February; prices start at $1,799.
