HP Preps New All-In-One PCs for Hybrid Work
What’s the perfect PC for today’s hybrid work environment? HP's solution is an all-in-one that packs computing and video-conferencing needs into a single monitor.
The HP EliteOne 800 G9 All-In-One is the company’s effort to sell a PC to commercial customers that can be easily deployed in an office or an employee’s home. HP settled on an all-in-one because they offer larger displays and more powerful webcams, while minimizing the cables found on hefty desktop workstations.
“You get your PC, your power supply, your display, webcam, mics, speakers, dock for your notebook, phone charger. All of these in one solution that takes up the size of a small pizza box,” said Gretchen Irion, HP's director for education and commercial desktops.
The EliteOne G9 will come in two sizes: 23.8 inches or 27 inches. One standout feature is the stand that also doubles as a Qi-compatible wireless phone charger.
The product can also function as a secondary display when attached to a laptop. Or, use it as a standalone monitor by decoupling the all-in-one’s CPU from the display.
On the video-conferencing front, the EliteOne G9 can be configured with a 5-megapixel camera or 16-megapixel “binning camera” capable of taking clearer footage in low light. The webcam can also rotate 180 degrees and tilt. Meanwhile, the all-in-one’s microphones are designed to pick up audio from up to 3 meters away.
In terms of specs, the EliteOne G9 will use Intel’s 12th generation Core processors. Buyers can also configure the PC with a dedicated Nvidia graphics chip.
Other features include Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, DDR5-4800 RAM, and the option to upgrade the display with a touch-screen panel. The 23.8-inch model weighs in at 20 pounds while the 27-inch version
