HP Unveils Four New All-in-One PCs

It seems to be a big month for product announcements — Motorola (News - Alert), Amazon and Nokia each made some huge product announcements already and it's only the second week of September — and with the holidays on the horizon, it's only going to get more hectic.

However, while smartphones and tablets steal the limelight, Hewlett-Packard (News - Alert), recently ranked the top PC manufacturer in the world by IDC, has just unveiled some new all-in-one PCs, including two new additions to the Envy line.

The Envy 23 sports a 23-inch HD display, while the Envy 20's touchscreen measures 20 inches diagonally. Both models feature the newest Intel (News - Alert) processor options, optional ExpressCache for faster system boot and solid state drive options.

Furthermore, both PCs sport Beats Audio and a number of proprietary HP technologies, such as HP Connected Photo, which can seamlessly sync photos from a smartphone to the PC.

This model also features an accompanying wireless trackpad, offering multitouch capabilities suitable for navigating Windows 8.

“The clean look of an all-in-one PC and the ease of one-cord set-up are key reasons customers turn to HP,” said James Mouton, senior vice president and general manager of the Personal Computer Global Business Unit at HP, in a press release. “The SpectreONE design is art as well as a powerful entertainment hub. Across our rich line of all-in-ones, we continue to drive value and differentiation that have earned us sales of more than 5 million all-in-ones.”
