HP introduced several new product announcements this morning including two new notebooks, a refresh of their TouchSmart PC lineup, and several new consumer oriented accessories.

On the notebook side of things, HP released two new entertainment oriented systems – the HDX16 and the HDX18. These notebooks feature built-in TV tuners, Blu-ray support, 1080 pixel displays, and multimedia options such as Altec Lansing speakers, an HP Triple Bass subwoofer, and Dolby Home Theater software. The HDX16 comes with a 16 inch widescreen display with either a 720 or 1080 resolution display while the HDX18 features an 18.4 inch Ultra BrightView 1080 pixel display.  The HDX16 will have a starting price of $1299 while the HDX18 will have a starting price of $1549. Both systems will be available later this month from HP.

On the desktop front, HP introduced their new all-in-one HP TouchSmart IQ800 series this morning. Features include a whopping 25.5 inch high definition widescreen display, a touch-based user interface, and a slot-load Blu-ray player. The IQ800 is wall-mountable which makes the system even more flexible in tight-spaced environments. Other specs to the TouchSmart IQ800 include  an integrated webcam, colored HP Ambient Light, media card reader, large capacity hard drives, the HP Pocket Media Drive Bay, and speakers. The TouchSmart IQ804 PC has a starting price of $1899 and will be available starting on Sept. 21st. The TouchSmart IQ816 will start at $2099 with availability slated for October 12th.

The new frames offer integrated clock and calendar options, support digital music playback, and come with integrated stereo speakers. Prices start at around $59 dollars and go up to $219.
