Hewlett-Packard Co. today is making its entrance into the young but increasingly competitive world of mobile workstations with the introduction of the Compaq Evo Mobile Workstation N800w.

The workstation, which is being unveiled on the first day of the HP World 2002 Conference and Expo in Los Angeles, is designed to compete with mobile workstations introduced in the spring by IBM and Dell Computer Corp.

According to executives with HP, based in Palo Alto, Calif., the new workstation, which will be available next week starting at $3,899, is aimed at notebook users who need computing power or graphics capabilities similar to what they would find on their desktops.
