HP PSG Regional Media Event “Touch the future. Now.”
Last week, I was invited to join the HP’s “Touch the future. Now.” media summit in Beijing, China. It was a 2 days event.
The transports, accommodations, and meals were on HP. It’s also the 1st time I was invited to such a mass event.

Some highlighted products this year are: HP Mini 110, HP Pavilion dv2, HP Pavilion Elite & Slimline, and, HP MS200 all-in-one PC.
HP Mini 110
I always wanted to get a netbook. The pink color (also available in Black and White colors) HP Mini 110 caught my eyes. The artistic pattern on the cover make it a perfect gift for your girlfriend.
Mini 110 is only 1.06KG and 1 inch thick, completed with standard netbook features. The new netbook has a sync feature which allows you to sync content with your primary PC.
What surprised me is the price of HP Mini 110. It’s only US$299 (~RM1043)! (Malaysia’s price is yet to confirm)
HP Pavilion dv2
If you need a powerful yet affordable notebook, the HP Pavillion dv2 might be your choice.
Weighing only 1.64KG, HP Pavilion dv2 is powered by dual core processor, ATI Radeon X1250 graphics with 64MB memory (or ATI Mobility Radeon HP Premium Graphics 3410 with 512MB dedicated memory). Retail price: US$699
HP Pavilion MS200 All-in-One Desktop PC
When I first saw HP Pavilion MS200 All-in-One desktop PC, I can’t help but thought of my Apple iMac.
The all-in-one PC looks very much like the Apple iMac, everything build into the monitor. The screen size is 18.5″. You only need a power cable to setup it, which also means you can move the PC easily anytime anywhere in your house. The price tag is US$599.
My two cents
Though the theme is “Touch the FUTURE”, there wasn’t any BIG breakthrough in products features. The new HP products look good, stylish, beautiful… Easily match your home’s design or your personal character.
What I love about HP is that they keep an affordable price tag while maintaining the product’s quality & performance.
$299?… wow… It is an interesting price for the HP Mini 110. ASUS had announced a $200 computer for 2009, but I have not heard nothing more about that.
Nice experience though!
I very love it!!
Expenses all paid trip? Your review for the event is a bit short….
HP Mini 110 use intel Atom processor isn’t it? So cute but lack of hardware (no dvd drive).
wah…so nice….have fun there
You always make Malaysian proud. Besides you, any other Malaysian bloggers got invited as well?
The style look futuristic.
So, Liew, are you going? Don’t miss this chance to get the first hand information and glimpse of future HP products. I feel proud of you… Enjoy your trip! Hope to see more Tweets or blog post later about this event…

Love the sleekness of MS200. While iMac does look better, it’s a treat for Apple-noob-cum-lifetime-PC-guy like me ;)
Cool! Nice opportunity to join the event. Looks like HP is trying to fight with its competitor in creative laptop design but the price is attracting also :)
