HP has announced its brand new all-in-one PC line, offering four models suited for different types of consumers. Targeting home, business, and multimedia users, HP's exciting new quartet consists of fully-integrated desktops with optional touchscreens.
The HP ENVY 23 All-in-One and HP Pavilion 23 All-in-One are designed for home users, and sport 23-inch Full 1080p displays, as well as HP's own media streaming software suite. Meanwhile, the HP Compaq Elite 8300 and HP Compaq Pro 6300 are designed for business users.
HP ENVY 23
The higher-end HP ENVY 23 is likely the most exciting model of the four. It comes with easy wall-mounting, an optional HDMI input which allows it to serve as a display (for a console, for instance), as well as a choice of Blu-Ray and integrated TV tuner, according to the spec sheet. It is powered by an Intel Ivy Bridge Core-i processor, offers up to 2TB of storage, and includes support for Beats Audio. The ENVY 23 goes on sale Aug. 2, and will have a $949.99 price tag.
HP Pavilion 23
The more affordable HP Pavilion 23 offers the same 2TB storage, but comes with a slightly different design and is somewhat more humble than the ENVY model. It also comes with a choice of either AMD multicore processors or Intel processors. It will go on sale on Aug. 2 as well, with a $649.99 price tag.
HP Compaq Elite 8300
When it comes to the business models, HP unveiled the Elite 8300 and the Pro 6300. The HP Compaq Elite 8300 sports a 23-inch display with optional two-finger multitouch, a choice of either second- or third-generation Intel Core processors, an optional 2-megapixel webcam, and dual-mic array. HP will offer both integrated and discrete graphics, depending on the model. This model goes on sale Sept. 10 for a $929 starting price.
HP Compaq Pro 6300
Lastly, the HP Compaq Pro 6300 comes with a 21.5-inch display (no touch option though), a choice of second- or third-generation Intel Core processors, optional discrete graphics, and an optional 2-megapixel webcam with face recognition capabilities. The Pro 6300 model goes on sale Sept. 3 and will come with a $799 price tag.
