Always much more than about delivering ahead- of- the- curve products, HP is this holiday season focused on connecting we consumers to our personal passions. One of those perceived passions is the need not only to hear the harmonies and the creative cadences of our PC- channelled music, but also to 'feel' the beat, deep within our psyche. And with the now signature HP style, the world's leading producer of all things computing is making that, and much more possible with a complete new line-up of consumer notebooks, desktops and monitors.

HP TouchSmart610

Getting straight to this intriguing new collection of products that promise to touch all our senses, we look first at the HP TouchSmart610 with that very special BeatsTM Audio that allows passionate HP aficionados to enjoy music "the way artists intended it to be heard." First, living up to its now iconic name, the TouchSmart610 has touch- optimised applications from Facebook, Twitter, and HP's exclusive RecipeBox. Plus for gamers, there are models with an exclusive HP touch-enabled version of Ubisoft's real-time strategy game, R.U.S.E.

The unbeatable BeatsTM Audio is complemented by the new HP LinkUp application for users to wirelessly link a notebook PC to the TouchSmart using a home network. Very democratic. Very HP. Current cost for the TouchSmart610 is from 49,900 baht (incl. VAT).

HP Pavilion g4

Still with notebooks, and yes, looking admiringly at a great, wrapable holiday season gift, our passions are aroused by the beautiful little HP Pavilion g4 that offers great value for money. It provides up to second-generation Intel CoreTM i3, i5 and i7 processors, a host of essential features that include a HD BrightView display, Altec Lansing speakers and SRS Premium Audio. In addition, the Intel Wireless Display Software enables users to display information and video on a remote monitor or TV that is equipped with a device that supports the Intel Wireless Display (WiDi) technology. Grey and sonoma red are its choice of colours and the price starts at 16,990 baht (incl. VAT).

HP Probook 4431

A premium and very stylish laptop from HP and price start at 24,990 baht (incl. VAT) has to be a serious contender for top marks in its class. The HP Probook 4431 series does not disappoint. A sleek, brushed aluminium body houses a great keyboard and 13.3inch diagonal HD display. The sensitive touchpad is a tapper's delight, instantly responsive, but the user is always in control. Security with this business like beauty is built-in. HP Face Recognition or fingerprint-reading technology plus HP ProtectTools takes care of that while a high resolution HD webcam makes video conference a cinch. Battery life? Users have a choice of a lightweight 6-cell battery or a longer lasting 9-cell battery.

The HP Wireless Mobile Mouse

And then, just in time for the perfect "guess what's in the box" Holiday Time gift, there is the HP Wireless Mobile Mouse. For some, a mouse is a mouse is a mouse.
