HP unveils 34-inch curved all-in-one Envy PC
HP has just unveiled the Envy 34 All-in-One, the company’s new desktop computer that features a 34-inch curved display that aims to give users an “immersive entertainment experience.” According to HP, their new desktop is also “the world’s widest curved all-in-one PCs.” It is the first PC to feature a curved display paired with a massive 34-inch screen. The shape’s not new to HP; the company already sells a 34-inch display that looks basically identical.
The 34-inch diagonal curved display, which has led HP to brand it the “world’s widest curved all-in-one,” features a 3440 x 1440 resolution screen that makes it more accomplished most dual-monitor setups, although falls below the 4K resolution many PC gamers look for. Still, that doesn’t mean to say that its underwhelming in this department, as a monitor of this resolution with its 21:9 aspect ratio still looks pretty fantastic even if it isn’t ultra HD.
The HP Envy 34 All-in-One is powered by sixth-generation Intel Core Skylake i5 and i7 processors, with either 8 GB or 16 GB of RAM. While the desktop has integrated graphics, users can opt for the speedier Nvidia GeForce 960A graphics card.
It comes with up to 2 TB of Hard Disk Drive with an option to include up to 128 GB of Solid-State Drive. There is also an option to equip the PC with up to 1 TB of the Hybrid Drive, which combines both SSD and HDD for fast and efficient use.
HP has partnered with Microsoft to give its users the Windows 10 experience. The Envy 34 also features Intel’s depth-sensing RealSense camera with Windows Hello compatibility. It comes with HDMI output, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports and an Ethernet port at the back. Underneath the front edge, there are two USB 3.0 ports and a media card reader.
