HP HPE PC Edition

HP has announced the HP Pavilion Elite High Performance Edition (HPE) PC. The manufacturer states that the system is designed for power-intensive gaming. The HPE is based on an Intel Core i7 processor, an nVidia GTX 260 special edition graphics card, up to 6 GB of DDR3 memory and 2TB of hard disk capacity. The HP Extra Quiet technology with internal ventilation is to keep the HPE both cooled down and silent enough to be placed anywhere.

Other features include a DVD-burner, integrated wireless, TV-tuner, Blu-ray player (in one of the models) and MediaSmart software 3.0. A pocket media drive bay is to simplify upgrading and expanding.

The HPE will be released later this month. HP specifies a recommended pricetag of €1.199.
