One model also provides digital imaging functionality. A rugged, 15-inch diagonal, flat-panel touch screen monitor and cash drawer are also available, along with a d handheld scanner with a hands-free IntelliStand. The system and its optional peripherals are contained on the rp3000 Integration Tray. The system will cost US$699.99.

The HP Compaq dc7900 Business Desktop PC series, meanwhile, offers power-packed performance with up to 87-percent-efficient power supplies. It will sell for US$599.99.
