All-in-one PCs has always been very pretty to look at. They are very pretty, but they are usually not the most functional devices to have at home. There is a reason for that though. All-in-one PCs are made with both aesthetics and simplicity in mind. It is built to ensure that your table is as clean as possible with as little things in the way as possible.
But the potential of all-in-one desktop PCs are quite a lot still. The Apple iMac with M1 that was recently launched at least showed a glimpse of what an all-in-one desktop can do. But the Apple iMac is not a purpose-built PC that is made for high-performance gaming or full-time content creation. The new HP Envy all-in-one PC though is a purpose-built machine that is an all-in-one PC that could be in every content creator’s wet dream.
It still features the same clean aesthetics that is fitting of the best-looking all-in-one desktop PCs you can find in the market. The minimalist look is matched with super thin and minimal looking peripherals from HP too. The stealth and slim silhouette of the HP Envy all-in-one PC hides a very powerful internal that you would not find in any other all-in-one.
The new HP ENVY 34-inch All-in-One is an imposing machine with an ultra-wide 34-inch display upfront. Upfront is a 5K display (up to), which is highly suitable for photo editors and video editors alike. Even for crucial colour correction work the HP ENVY’s 34-inch displays up to 98% DCI-P3 colour gamut on its 21:9 screen ratio display.
The HP ENVY 34-inch All-in-One desktop PC also comes with a 16-Megapixel webcam that you can place anywhere on your display. You can even hang it off the side of the device to point to a drawing pad on your desk. While magnetic webcams are not new, it is kind of a first for HP or even an All-in-One PC device. Additionally, the base of the HP ENVY 34-inch All-in-One is also a wireless charging pad.
Inside the svelte body is a very powerful 8-core 11th generation Intel Core i9-S series processor (up to). This is also a first in an all-in-one PC market. The powerful processor is also paired to an equally powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU (up to). That also means that the HP ENVY is also a decent gaming rig in a tightly packed body that is also your display case.
