Volatile Movements: Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ), CSX Corporation (NYSE:CSX), Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (ADR) (NYSE:TEVA), Royal Dutch Shell plc (ADR) (NYSE:RDS.A)

On Tuesday, Shares of Hewlett-Packard Company (NYSE:HPQ), gained 0.37% to $24.66.

Hewlett-Packard Company declared the HP Z240 Tower and Z240 SFF Workstations with next generation Intel® processors and HP Z Turbo Drive options, raising the bar for entry-level workstations, while providing the reliability of a workstation at the price point of a desktop PC.

The Z240 is the latest update to the world’s No. 1 ranked entry-level workstation, the HP Z230. As HP’s most affordable workstation, the Z240 is ideal for customers in the video editing, MCAD/AEC, education, public sector and image viewing industries.

As the market share-leading workstation vendor, HP has integrated seven new innovations on the HP Z240 Workstations.

  1. An integrated M.2 slot (for expansion cards and connectors on both the SFF and tower) frees up a PCIe slot and provides customers more flexibility and expandability to use HP Z Turbo Drives without having to make a tradeoff on additional graphics cards, an additional HP Z Turbo Drive, or other devices like Thunderbolt™.
  2. Optional dust filters can be added to both the HP Z240 Tower and Z240 SFF to assist reduce the ingress of dust in the system. With up to 47 percent reduction in dust2, this option provides customers in all work environments where dust is an issue — from under the desk to dusty manufacturing floors — with added reliability and longevity.
  3. Removed the legacy PCI slot, which is used by less than 2 percent of customers recently, from the motherboard and designed a plug-in card for effortless installation for customers that still use the legacy slot. Removing the slot from the motherboard allowed HP to reinvest in other product innovations (M.2 slot, dust filter).
  4. Despite adding new features to the motherboard, HP engineering was able to reduce the size of the motherboard on the Z240 Tower by 10 percent and simplified the cable layouts inside the systems, ongoing to push for more efficient product designs.
  5. The Z240 Tower now features integrated front and rear handle ledges to enable every customer to easily move and position their system around the office.
  6. HP re-engineered the hard drive cage for the Z240 SFF and engineered a custom air duct around the processor, allowing more efficient air flow, improved acoustics and a cleaner layout of internal cables.
  7. HP integrated ambient temperature sensors on the motherboard of both systems, and raised control of the system fans to comprise the power supply, giving even better administration of system thermals and acoustics, counting the power supply (as contrast to previous generations).

Hewlett-Packard Company is a global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) and large enterprises, including customers in the government, health and education sectors.
