PC maker Hewlett Packard (HP) on Thursday unveiled a new line of notebook computers, including netbooks, starting around Rs 16,000.
"The new line of notebooks have been designed keeping in mind performance and styling needs of today's youth," HP India President (Personal Systems Group) Sunil Dutt told reporters here.
It also announced that it will offer 100 GB free space with the HP Mini for two months through cloud computing.
"Cloud computing is an area we are really looking forward to. Though the 100 GB free space is for two months, consumers would continue to get 2 GB free space after the two months or they can opt for a paid model," HP Director (Mobility Business Unit - PSG) Rajiev Grover said.
"We are also very interested in forging partnerships with local firms in India," he added.
Asked about losing marketshare in the notebook category, Dutt said, "I don't think it would be fair to make comments on the market based on the performance of just a quarter."
HP, which was for long the leader in the Indian PC market, was dislodged by Dell to the No. 2 spot in the notebook segment in the fourth quarter of calender year 2009.
The new range launched today includes Compaq Presario CQ42 and CQ62 priced at Rs 25,990 onwards, HP Pavilion dm4 and dm6 at Rs 36,990 onwards, HP Minis at Rs 16,000 onwards and HP TouchSmart tm2 at Rs 64,990.
