HP reveals New Pavilion PC convertibles and notebooks for education at Coachella

HP announced a new lineup of Pavilion laptops at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival 2017

The new Pavilion convertibles and laptops deliver a rich set of features and performance options previously reserved for higher-end products, including the addition of premium materials like 3D metal to help remove all visual seams, USB-C  for more connectivity options and active pen support to bring Windows Ink to life on Pavilion x360s.  

Coachella is the perfect venue to launch and show the inking capabilities in our new Pavilion line up because of the festival’s strong focus on music and art. Attendees can use the inking platform to create their own memorable experience at the show, said Kevin Frost vice president and general manager of consumer personal systems, HP Inc. 

The new Pavilion x360 gives customers what they want -- mobility and flexibility in a convertible PC. Pavilion x360s not only morph into four modes, but also infuse premium materials and features like 3D metal to help remove all visual seams, USB-C to enable more connectivity, and active pen support to bring Windows Ink¹ to life. Windows Ink¹ allows users to interact with content in new ways and quickly turn thoughts into action – create lists, sticky notes, and draw your ideas directly onto the screen.
