The Liquid Zest Plus will be available in North America and EMEA in July, with prices starting at $199 and €199, respectively.
On the small business front, the company announced two TravelMate P2 notebooks aimed at the sector.
Available in 14-inch and 15.6-inch sizes, the notebooks pack a Skylake-based Intel processor, can have up to 32GB of memory, and use Nvidia GeForce 940M discrete graphics. New for the P2 series, the notebook will ship with Windows 10, and while storage was not mentioned, the P2s traditionally use spinning rust drives.
