HP launches dc7800 Ultra-Slim Business Desktop with SSD

Hewlett-Packard Wednesday introduced a business desktop with a slim form factor that packs a flash-based solid-state drive, giving the system faster boot times than PCs with hard drives. The HP Compaq dc7800 Ultra-Slim Business Desktop, dubbed by HP as its smallest enterprise desktop model, provides improved power efficiency and support for tools, including Intel's vPro, that makes it easier to manage PCs.

A 16GB SSD will be available with the system, although users can select hard drives with storage capacities of up to 160GB when buying the product. The system includes support for TPM (Trusted Platform Module) 1.2, a hardware-based authentication technology for system security. The Compaq dc7800 Ultra-Slim Business Desktop runs Intel's Core 2 Duo, Celeron D or Pentium processors, and supports Intel's vPro technology, a platform that helps service and manage PCs. It comes with Gigabit Ethernet and an integrated Intel graphics media accelerator. Users can select between the Windows Vista, Windows XP or FreeDos operating systems. Pricing for the desktop, which is available now, starts at $1,258 with the solid-state drive.
