U.S.-based Hewlett-Packard will add four new models to its Brio line of personal computers to the worldwide market by March. The new models are the 8211, the 8316, 8237 and the 8379. The 8211 features an Intel Pentium 200 MHz processor with MMX technology. The 8316 and 8237 feature the Intel Pentium II processor and the 8370 uses Intel's latest chip, the 333 MHz Pentium II processor. All the new models feature an Internet starter kit and the Brio Centre, which is an on-screen technology adviser that provides step-by-step instructions for 50 common tasks such as backing up files and sharing printers. The Brio line is geared to small businesses. In Canada, the new models will be incorporated into existing print advertising for the Brio line. Canadian advertising for H-P is done by Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising of Toronto.
