NEWS Computer giant Hewlett Packard has introduced a diminutive new PC. The new desktop, the Compaq Evo D510 e-PC, is a hybrid of HP's e-PC and Compaq's newer Evo desktop, which sports a black-and-silver chassis design. HP created the e-PC as a small, low-priced desktop that could be used by companies with offices where space is at a premium. The new D510 e-PC ranks as the only surviving HP-designed business desktop, with the exception of a pair of workstation models. The company will phase out the rest of its business desktop and notebook machines, following its merger with Compaq, in favor of Compaq-branded Evo PCs. HP will sell the new e-PC model for a price starting at less than $700 in the US, as it will the Compaq-designed ultraslim Evo desktop. HP will offer the Evo D510 e-PC for an introductory price of $649. Its base configuration will include a 1.8GHz Intel Celeron processor, 128MB of RAM, a 20GB hard drive, a CD-ROM drive and Microsoft's Windows XP Home operating system. A monitor is not included in that price. The machine can be fitted with Intel Pentium 4 processors up to 2.6GHz, more memory, larger hard drives and CD-rewritable or DVD drives. John G.
