To ensure you get the most out of your PC, HP has put together a checklist of essential items to support your daily computing needs.
HP USB cable—Conveniently connect your computer to your USB printer, scanner, hard drive or any other USB-compatible peripheral with this 6-foot cable.
HP personal media drive—You’re going to be taking a lot more photos, uploading music, watching videos and preparing presentations for classes. Make sure you have enough space for all that data with a handy HP 160GB Personal Media Drive. This portable, compact external drive will easily fit on your desk. You can use it alone, connect via USB cable to any PC, or slide it into the chassis slot of select HP PCs. Need more space? Increase your memory with a 300GB or 500GB HP personal media drive
Linksys wireless-G broadband router—Put your PC anywhere in your room and still enjoy high-speed Internet with freedom from cables using a wireless-G broadband router. Your data and privacy is protected with the encryption of all wireless transmissions.
Security software—Protect your PC and your data with security software. Norton Internet Security provides 12 months of protection against viruses, hackers, spyware and spam so you’re safe when you e-mail, swap files, download programs and chat. Norton AntiVirus works in the background 24/7 to detect and automatically remove viruses, Trojan horses and worms as well as spyware, adware and other annoying monitoring software.
Belkin Vista Migration Cable—Setting up a new PC? Don’t waste time transferring data yourself. The Belkin Vista Migration Cable will quickly transfer your e-mail, data files, settings and preferences from your old Windows XP PC to your new Vista PC. It then seamlessly incorporates the old PC’s look and feel with the new one.
HP surge protector—Don’t let old wiring in the dorms or the power going out damage your equipment. Protect your PC and components from erratic power with the HP 6-outlet Surge Protector.
