Creativity Unleashed as HP Debuts New Premium PC Portfolio at Cannes Film FestivalWith unparalleled performance and impeccable design, the showstoppers have arrived to empower digital creators and storytellers to push artistic boundaries

Cannes, FRANCE, May 22, 2017 - In HP Inc.'s 14th year at the Cannes Film Festival, the company is not resting on its 75-year legacy of filmmaking innovation, debuting devices that reinvent the way people design, collaborate and create. From the company creating award-winning workstations and displays powering the film industry, HP's new premium portfolio of Spectre x2, ENVY x360 and ENVY laptops deliver the performance, design and innovation that empower today's generation of digital creators to inspire the world like never before.

Cannes Film Festival brings the world's greatest filmmakers and artists together to showcase a unique form of storytelling. Our stylish new premium products were designed to unleash creativity in all of us, said Ron Coughlin, president of Personal Systems, HP Inc. The Spectre and ENVY premium lineup of PCs announced today inspire the imagination and enable people everywhere to reinvent and create.

Every aspect of the company's Spectre and ENVY PCs were designed to push creative boundaries and unlock new opportunities, reinforcing HP's place at the forefront of reinvention. Bold engineering and cutting-edge design decisions will delight a generation eager to use technology as a canvas for self-expression. The Spectre x2, HP's first luxury detachable designed for Windows Ink1, delivers it all, including a precise pen experience that was curated by the artist community and is sure to stun digital creators. The new ENVY x360 and ENVY laptops bring extraordinary performance in every millimeter, empowering users to change how they work, create and play without compromising style or function.

I was truly surprised how HP's latest technology innovations inspired me to reinvent my creative process and explore new media with inking on HP devices - visually capturing human emotion and energy in a new way. The result has been an opportunity to engage people in a deeper, collective narrative that I didn't know existed, says contemporary artist and visionary, Jordan Nickel (POSE). Working with HP on this exciting project debuting at Cannes has been a great experience, giving me the ability to continue to be progressive.
