Heading to is a place for many people think it all started out in Silicon Valley.

Date to -- three days in the reserves life.

As at a company and Palo Alto, California.

At Hewlett-Packard -- -- You know what does that surprise you that historians -- as the birthplace of Silicon Valley.

A tiny garage impala while so about twelve feet by eight feet that's right that's where.

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard founded Hewlett-Packard it's now -- national historic registry place you cannot take a tour of it.

We got inside it take a look.

It is just fascinating back then in 1938 when they found -- the PC company.

Rent was 45 dollars a month not bad 45 bucks a month of that of course was then.

This is now come on out we are live at Hewlett-Packard labs and we have an exclusive behind the scenes look all day long here at Hewlett-Packard.

It is the world's largest PC company but going through major transition.

Apple has has really kind of destabilize just about everybody in PC world PC sales are shrinking but guess what.

Hewlett-Packard with its new management of Meg Whitman and her team says we are going to turn this around and make products that you want how.

By designing them properly Stacey will open a Fox Business exclusive as Hewlett-Packard ICG -- -- design nice to have you think.

Well what we have a whole bunch of products here at HP labs and I know you're very very excited about them but the -- question has always been lately.

Hewlett-Packard just isn't sexy what do you have to say about though.

We're we're we're doing a very good job of changing that that believe I think if you look at the lineup that we have here we're making a huge transformation this year.

Obviously touch as big -- -- touch crossed the line.

But the designs that you see coming out with our ultra books are all -- ones they're completely transforming I think that that belief okay.

The word tablet is extraordinarily hot tablet sales worldwide up 98% year -- here.

Where's your apple iPad killer.

Well I think we're approaching a couple different ways one is we still believe the PCs strong and we believe that we can do something that is a mix between both tablet and PC.

Our research over the past years we've been looking at this categories really it resonates quite bit.

Where we have this product that can transform show me your favorite product in that realm right now come over here let me show you it's this is the MBX two in the -- -- It is a remarkable machine the what's uptrend by the way -- hatteras that I have.

And -- foxbusiness.com.

Pretty -- Griffin immediately get everything for the touch scene of the ability to touch the screen -- the ability to navigate like a PC so really is the best of both world.

What's really unique about this product is when I wanna be a tablet I wanna sit back and recline and enjoy what media might be they are said to be Fox Business news.

I can.

Just quickly I can.

Slide the latch in disengage.

We've spent a number of hours this year weeks and months if you will.

Engineering the the tablet portion of this and how it docks with the system.

If you look closely we actually re engineered the view the complete hinge on this.

And who were using news special magnets and -- locking mechanism that all you need to do well let me -- a unit -- -- -- The -- -- doesn't know how to -- this stuff -- to just get it lined up pushed down in an immediate and long kind of sit what does it take enough to just collect Barack.

Incident hadn't docket if I could do that anybody can do -- rank I think that's pretty ignorant of health and it's simply is that once you precedent it's now in place.

And what's really nice about this is it close it up just like a beautiful notebook but I -- country attention.

Look how tiny that hinges are we spent a number of hours engineering that whole keys to make sure it's it's is fine tuned as a a jeweler would do let's look at the -- -- that of course is an ultra book and it's over here.

And it's a bigger PC here and obviously this is where the brains and I don't wanna just turn it to the -- you can see.

This is where all of the components are within.

Correct but then you've got this and then if you wanna you just -- out on her cause without right.

In what's nice about this is -- put all the technology in that arm so that we can basically whole -- -- weigh in really exude -- healthy and and clean this display is.

But which really has about this is.

That in this base we actually incorporated in FC which is near field communications I can take my cellphone and I can put it there.

I can also rest -- were there but this is all -- also buy it.

A large touch -- as I finish up yes cat UB apple on some of these products I think so we have some compelling things for should be in -- to.

It's a product that.

When you talk to students it really resonate it gives -- best of both.

World Stacy wolf is chief of design here at Hewlett-Packard very much were wishing you good luck after -- made it made all over the place is just a fascinating picture here and by the way we've got some breaking news -- before -- coming up in the 1 PM hour Elon -- of Tesla Motors.
