HP’s Pavilion AIOs Stunning All-in-One PC

HP’s Pavilion AIOs
Stunning All-in-One PC
 


HP announces its new Pavilion all-in-one desktop computers. They will now sport a more premium look with a revamped design and slim bezels. There will be three available models – one Pavilion 27 and two version of the Pavilion 24. As you can guess, the number associated with the Pavilion lineup resembles the screen size in inches.

The most important aspect of the updated design is the screen bezel. HP has adopted the sleek- looking edge-to-edge design with its new range of Pavilion AiOs. Particularly interesting is one of the two Pavilion 24 models which has an almost bezel-less design. The so-called micro-edge display has a bezel just 8.5 mm thick which results in a beautiful look and amazing viewing experience.




The other Pavilion 24 model and the 27-inch version have a slightly thicker bezel but still very thin. However, they can be configured with a QHD display while the micro-edge Pavilion 24 supports only Full HD resolution.

The stand of the AiOs is also interesting – a U-shaped aluminum frame with a satin finish. It allows the screen to be tilted so it can provide you with a best suitable viewing experience.
There are actually two new Pavilion AIOs: a 23.8-inch model and a 27-inch model. The former features the optional micro-edge display, which brings the bezel width down to a quarter of an inch compared to HP’s standard one-inch frame. HP also added a little more tilt to the micro-edge display option, allowing for a range between -5 and 25 degrees, while the non-micro bezel displays can only tilt between 0 and 25 degrees. The AIOs can come with either a 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 display, as well as touch and non-touch options.


Diving inside the machines, the 23-inch standard model will come with a 2.9GHz dual-core AMD A9-9410, while the 27-inch offers a 2.2GHz quad-core Intel “Skylake” Core i5-6400T. HP says there are models that support up to a Skylake Core i7 for those who need more processing power.

The new Pavilion all-in-ones also support up to 16GB of RAM, a 3TB hard drive, or a 1TB hybrid drive. The port selection's pretty standard. You get three USB 3.0 ports (one on the front, two on the back), but only one is Type C—although it does support fast charging. The new AIOs also offer another two USB 2.0 ports, HDMI out, microphone-headphone combo jack, and a 3-in-1 media card reader.



HP also updated its mouse and keyboard, introducing a sleeker white version from its previous black one.

In the hardware side, you’ll find a web cam included that pops up only when in use, and HP will allow you to add a further infrared camera to use face recognition tech.

There’s also the option to add up to 16GB of RAM, and up to 2TB of storage, while the 23.8-inch model comes with the choice to add AMD Radeon R7 discrete graphics.

HP also says it has minimised the pre-installed software, which hopefully means the new Pavilions will come with minimal bloatware, but we won’t hold our breath.



With a cheaper starting price than Apple's iMac, the Pavilion All-in-One is a great option for students or users who want a great looking AIO PC. Equipped with a bright full HD IPS display with touch, the Pavilion All-in-One is highly configurable with different options for processors, discrete graphics, RAM and storage. Unfortunately, the price quickly increases for a more powerful build.




The Pavilion All-in-One will be available in the US starting June 28 for a starting price of $649 (£429, AU$829) for the 21.5-inch model. The 23-inch model will start at $699 (£462, AU$893).

LG V30 review

LG V30 A Great Big Phone LG’s smartphone division is in an interesting position right now. They are continuing to produce decent handsets with innovative additions each year, yet the company can’t get much traction in the market in the face of strong competition from other brands. The G6 was LG’s best phone design in years, launching as one of the first with a small-bezel display, but sales have not rocketed as expected. The V30 is in a similar position. Occupying the flagship large-screen phone position in LG’s line-up, the V30 is packed with interesting features, top-end hardware and enough good stuff to match this year’s competitors. But it’s once again up against some massive new devices, particularly the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google Pixel 2 XL, leaving LG with an uphill battle to ensure the V30 remains in the conversation. But now there's the LG V30. As the name suggests, it's a direct successor to last year's V20 — the product of a very different LG, w...

iMac Pro First Impression

iMac Pro   First Impression   Apple’s goal with professional hardware has always been to inspire creatives and developers to produce new things. That’s not an altruistic objective; the more creative things get made on Macs, the more other creatives and developers are drawn to the platform, and the more Macs are sold. To that end, the iMac Pro is available to order today, so we spoke with Apple and several third-party developers who were introduced to us by Apple. We learned more about the iMac Pro and how people expect to use it to improve performance or add new features to their applications. It’s still not upgradeable in any significant way, apart from external GPUs. And of course, it starts at $5,000. Still, Apple has made a compelling case for the device by allowing the use cases to speak for themselves. We’ll go over the specifics about the machine and then explore some of the use cases we saw. Externally, the new iMac Pro is indistinguishable from the exis...

Moto G5S Review

Moto G5S Motorola's Best Budget SmartPhones You'd be forgiven for not paying close attention to the release of the Moto G5S Plus; it snuck into the company's lineup in early August alongside the Moto G5S. The 'S' stands for "Special Edition" (Moto G5SE Plus was too much of a mouthful?), and they're moderately improved versions of the existing Moto G5 line that debuted earlier in the year. Why would Motorola introduce slightly updated versions of existing phones less than six months after their release? Who knows?! What I do know is that the Moto G5S Plus, which is available unlocked in the U.S. for $279, is one of the better budget phones you can buy, but the slightly better build quality, additional camera, and larger display don't justify the additional cost over the existing Moto G5 Plus. Moto G5S Design The G5S marks a big step up from its predecessor. Where the G5 merely had an aluminium rear panel, the G5S’s unibody desi...
