HP’s Pre-CES Parade: Gasp-worthy Electronic Gadgetry

Thursday, January 8th, 2015

 

If you’re a software developer or a hardware designer who likes to work at the beach, in the mountains, or anywhere other than in your cubicle, HP announced this week a set of products that are going to be of more than just passing interest. On Monday, the company debuted two members of its second-generation ZBook family of mobile workstations that include an impressive list of features.

The ZBook 14 and ZBook 15u come with 14-inch and 15.6-inch displays, respectively, fifth-generation Intel core processors, AMD FirePro 3D graphics, optional touch-screen displays, and 10-point multi-touch HD screen option on the ZBook 14, as well as up to 16GB of operational memory and 1.25 TB of storage to service the workstations’ HP Z Turbo Drive capability.

I saw these two mighty mites at the Intercontinental Hotel in San Francisco in late November during an NDA Press Tour, and although journalists are sworn to skepticism, it was hard not to be impressed. These laptops are indeed “sleek and stylish” as the manufacturer says, but they’re also incredibly lightweight and sturdy.

SAME: Microelectronics in the South of France

Thursday, May 3rd, 2012

 

The Sophia Antipolis Microelectronics Forum takes place every fall in the ‘Silicon Valley’ of Southern France, Sophia Antipolis, 5 miles inland from the beautiful Mediterranean city of Antibes.

Sophia Antipolis is about 20 minutes from the International Airport at Nice, with offices for approximately 800 high-tech companies – included among them: ARM, Broadcom, Cadence, HP, IBM, Infineon, Intel, Mentor Graphics, Nvidia, STMicro, and Synopsys – housed in a range of buildings set among the rolling hills of the enclave. Within that forested place and 800 enterprises, almost 40,000 people are employeed. There are also two college campuses in Sophia Antipolis, as well as restaurants, a golf course, multiple hotels, and a tennis institute.

In other words, if you’ve never been to the Cote d’Azur, never been to Nice or Antibes, if you think you’d love vistas across the wide blue Mediterranean Sea, want to learn more about good food, wine, Picasso, Matisse, ancient Greeks, the French Riviera, or microelectronics – and not necessarily in that order – you’re going to be wanting to go to the Sophia Antipolis Microelectronics Forum taking place this year on October 2nd & 3rd.
