There are few companies that can offer the home or office PC user what Hewlett- Packard can.

  HP is not only a leading maker of PCs, it is a force in producing printers, scanners, hand-held computers and many other PC devices.

  HP has chosen 'Expanding Possibilities' as its theme for the expo.

    The managing director of HP in Hong Kong, Jack Lee, said Computer '98 would be particularly exciting this year.

  'We're committed to deliver more and better solutions to address the needs of our customers, for use at home or in small to medium-sized companies.

 'Computer '98 offers us the perfect forum to showcase our latest and greatest product and solution offerings.'   HP has been aware of the needs of the small to medium-sized business - the largest to be found in Hong Kong.

 It will have a section of its booth devoted to the market, with examples of its All-in-One solution, portable office systems, e-business and corporate publishing solutions.

  'As a company with a long history of serving the people of Hong Kong, we also have a solid understanding of the needs of the smaller business,' Mr Lee said.

  'We are accelerating our drive to provide Hong Kong's SMEs [small and medium enterprises] with products and solutions to help them streamline and enhance their competitiveness - particularly in view of the present economic climate - through the use of technology.'   One product in the printer market that HP thinks will be a winner in the office is the HP OfficeJet Pro 1150C.

  According to HP, this printer can deliver professional quality colour output and sharp black-and-white printing, copying and scanning, all in one unit.

  On the hand-held side, HP will be showing its HP 620LX Colour Palmtop PC. This new device supports 256 colours and full-width text, instant recording and access to fax, e-mail and the Internet.

  HP's popular Pavilion series of multimedia PCs will be in the 'consumer corner' so visitors can have a go at HP's digital imaging systems in English or Chinese.

  The product supports a simple built- in scanning device for the quick scanning of snapshots.

  HP is the official information technology hardware and maintenance supplier for this summer's soccer World Cup in France and the company will be promoting this as well.

 Prizes will include round-trip tickets to watch the action.

  Other prizes will include Pavilion Multimedia PCs, DeskJet and LaserJet printers, printer cartridges, LaserJet 6L/6P/6MP printers and ScanJet 5100C colour scanners. The promotion will run until May 20.

  HP will give tips on how to use its products to their utmost.

 No computer event would be complete without something concerning the Internet, and especially e-commerce.

  As a leader in this area, HP will also be demonstrating the use of its hardware and software solutions for those wishing to take advantage of the Internet.
