HP unveils first NFC-enabled mouse.

In addition to unveiling all those laptops, HP just announced a boatload of peripherals. Of the bunch, the most compelling might be the NFC-enabled Touch to Pair Mouse, which, as the name suggests, can be paired with another device simply through tapping. (Good thing lots of computers currently have NFC, right?) If, by chance, you don't have NFC on your laptop -- and you probably don't -- the mouse will function just fine as a regular old Bluetooth device. Look for it in November for $39. 

Elsewhere on the wireless mouse front, HP announced the X6000 (pictured), which has four-way tilt scrolling and can be used on most surfaces, including glass. That arrives this month for $59. Finally, if your tastes are a bit simpler, there's also the Wireless Mouse X4500 and X5500, which will be available this month for $29 and $39, respectively.

Beyond mice, HP also trotted out the $29 Wireless Classic Desktop keyboard, along with the $49 Wireless Elite v2. For audio lovers, there's the HP Portable Bluetooth Speaker, which will go on sale next month for a cool $79. Eighty bucks (or thereabouts) will also get you a 90W universal power adapter that claims to be compatible with most notebooks. It also has a built-in USB port, allowing you to charge a mobile device at the same time. Rounding out the list is the Webcam HD 4310, a $69 $89 shooter capable of 1080p video, autofocus, autoexposure and three-way video calling. All that in more digestible form in the PR after the break.

Envy 14 Spectre

Pretty much every computer maker showed off an Ultrabook laptop at this years 2012 CES in Las-Vegas, with varying chassis designs and sizes but with the same MacBook Air-inspired fundamentals of being thin, weighing little, using power sparingly, and using SSD storage, plus Intel's own contribution of fast bootup.

Hewlet-Packard's Envy 14 Spectre stands out not because it is in the Ultrabook camp but because of its innovative glass lid, which frees up the space normally used by the frame to allow the use of a larger screen in the same space. HP claims it can thus fit a 14-inch LCD in the same laptop dimensions normally holding a 13-inch LCD. It also supports nearfield communications (NFC) very-short-range wireless. The base model ships on Feb. 8 for $1,399.
