HP 2310m - LCD display - TFT - 23"..........more detialed view

hp 2310m 23'' monitor

hp 2310m 23'' LCD monitor

 

Simple review:

Pros: Nice, large screen for multi tasking or watching video. Bright screen, sharp looking
Cons: Menu is a little hard to use. Speakers are poor quality.
Summary: After a lot of research, I bought two of these to use in a dual monitor desktop setup. There were no stickers on mine like some others have had to deal with. I did not buy these for the sound quality of the speakers, so that is not an issue for me. the glossy black trim is very sharp looking, but will show fingerprints easily. Not an issue here, since this isn't something that gets touched very often.

Screens are bright and sharp. The triple input for video (DVI, VGA, HDMI) makes for a flexible installation. I am quite pleased with the quality and picture.

Specs, images of HP/Palm webOS tablets leaked


Those HP/Palm webOS tablets are on their way now, and a leaked sneak peek is now circling the Internet.
Sent in by a “trusted tipster,” Engadget reports that the slate depicted above is the 9-inch Topaz webOS tablet. It will also have a little sibling in the form of the 7-inch Opal. A lot of tech industry followers are calling these images as authentic, with one even dubbing the Topaz as “a tablet-ized version of the Palm Pre.”
Some of the spotted specs on this buttonless tablet include a glossy touch screen, a front-facing camera, a trio of built-in speakers scattered on the sides, and a micro USB port on the bottom.
An AT&T LTE version is expected to launch first in July, with AT&T 3G, Verizon LTE and Wi-Fi-only editions set to drop in September. Pricing hasn’t been announced yet, but we should know more in general on February 9.

HP's desktop, thin client and monitor barrage


HP is one of those companies that seldom announces a single product. Instead it launches a confusing barrage of products. This time, the product launch focused on desktop systems, thin clients and monitors. I must admit that HP’s move is a bit overwhelming.

What HP has to say about their product launch

HP today unveiled new business desktop PCs, thin clients and monitors that deliver performance and value, helping small businesses and large enterprise customers improve productivity and reduce the environmental impact of their technology.
  • The HP Compaq 8200 EliteHP Compaq 6200 ProHP Compaq 4000 Pro and HP 100B All-in-One Business Desktops offer a choice of computing power and design that deliver the control, consistency, connectivity and commitment to environmental excellence business customers expect from HP.
  • The HP t5550t5565 and t5570 Thin Clients are ideal for environmentally conscious customers seeking simple, reliable computing for office applications and web browsing for client virtualization or cloud computing.
  • HP Compaq Business Monitors feature sleek, modern designs for forward-thinking customers in need of power-saving, adjustable displays.

Snapshot anlysis

HP is one of the few suppliers that has the ability to address each and every one of the segments of the Kusnetzky Group Model of virtualization (see Sorting out the different layers of virtualization for more information about the model) as well as a broad portfolio of desktop and laptop systems, thin clients and servers from small to very, very large.
While the broad array of products and technology allow HP to address just about the broadest list of customer requirements, it also creates a confusing environment for the newcomer.  So, I am not at all sure that I could answer questions about what HP is doing other than to say that they’re trying to do everything for everyone, everywhere, always.  Few companies can actually accomplish that feat. HP clearly can.
If your organization is looking for products in desktops, thin client systems or monitors, HP should most certainly be considered.





First images and specs of two HP webOS tablets leaked online -- 9-inch Topaz, 7-inch Opal


I’m still skeptical about HP being able to create a runaway success with tablets based on Palm’s webOS, but if the photos leaked to Engadgetfrom “a trusted tipster” are accurate, it’s definitely designed a sexy slate — or, apparently, pair of slates.
That’s because HP has a 9-inch tablet (code-named Topaz) and a 7-inch model (Opal) in the works, according to the roll-out details also passed along. The images suggest there’s a front-facing camera, a micro USB port, three speakers — and a lack of buttons on the front. Engadget was also informed they use 1.2GHz processors, though more details (manufacturer, etc.) weren’t provided.
Here’s one issue for these tablets: a release timeline. It appears that the Opal won’t arrive until September, though the Topaz may come earlier. That’s just way too much time to let Android tablets flood the market, along with RIM’s PlayBook and an iPad 2. Perhaps there’ll be better news when HP officially (and presumably) rolls these out on February 9.
In the meantime, what do you think? Does this change your opinion of the webOS tablets in either way? Let us know in the Comments section
