HP OmniBooks Go From Coach to Business Class Hewlett-Packard introduced three new notebooks, the OmniBook 4100, 3100, and 2100. Priced from $1,599 to $4,599, there's an OmniBook to fit pretty much every mobile user's budget, whether they travel business class or coach. The OmniBook 4100 is designed for high performance, with a choice of 266MHz MMX Pentium or 233MHz or 266MHz Pentium II processors. 32MB of RAM and 512K of Level 2 cache are standard. You can choose between 13.3-inch or 14-inch XGA, TFT displays and 4GB or 6.4GB hard drives. In addition to two Type II PC Card slots, the notebook includes one hot-swappable module bay. It can take devices such as a standard floppy drive (which can also be attached externally with an optional cable), a 24x CD-ROM drive, or a LS-120 SuperDisk. Or it can handle a second hard drive, a lithium-ion battery, or even a filler module to protect the empty bay. According to HP, future modules will include a DVD drive and an Iomega Zip drive. HP figures the OmniBook 4100's maximum weight at 6.6 pounds (with the 14.1-inch display and CD-ROM drive). Standard input devices include a touchpad and pointing stick. Depending on the configuration, the OmniBook 4100 is priced from $4,599 to $3,249. For more budget-conscious mobile users, the OmniBook 3100 costs $3,199, and the OmniBook 2100 costs from $2,499 to $1,599. The OmniBook 3100 offers a 266MHz MMX Pentium CPU with 32MB of RAM and 512K of Level 2 cache. A 4GB hard drive is standard, along with a lithium-ion battery. The OmniBook 3100's display is a 13.3-inch, XGA, TFT screen. On the other hand, the OmniBook 2100 uses a 12.1-inch, SVGA, DSTN, or TFT display. You can choose between a 200MHz MMX or 233MHz MMX Pentium CPU and a 3.2GB or 2.1GB hard drive. The standard memory is 32MB of RAM plus 512K of Level 2 cache. The included battery is nickel-metal hydride. Both models include a floppy drive module and two Type II PC Card slots. The module bay can also take other devices, such as a CD-ROM drive or a second battery, and the floppy drive module can be attached externally through the parallel port. Depending on the module installed, the OmniBook 3100 weighs about 6.7 pounds, while the OmniBook 2100 weighs about 6.4 pounds. All three notebooks come with a USB port; an IrDA-compliant infrared port; the usual parallel, serial keyboard/mouse, audio, and video ports; and built-in stereo speakers and microphone. Microsoft Windows 95 or Windows NT comes preinstalled. HP offers a one-year warranty and 24-hour, seven-day support for all OmniBooks.
