HP has announced it would renew All-in-One
series for end customers with 2 models: Envy 23 and Pavilion 23. These 2 models
both have 23-inch Full HD screens and Ivy Bridge processors. These are the
first models to replace All-in-One Omni which was produced previously. HP
stated that they changed the name so that users would realize the luxury series
“Envy” and cheap series “Pavilion”, like what they called their laptops. Envy
23 and Pavilion 23 will be sold on 2nd August with starting price at
$949.99 and $649.99.

23
Envy 23 has similar a similar appearance to
former Omni with a teardrop-shaped aluminum stick at the bottom. The whole
screen is covered with a glossy layer. The included wireless keyboard is made
to nestle in comfortably between the display and the stand when not in use. It
is known that Envy 23 will use Intel Ivy Bridge CPU for laptop and discrete
graphics card; details will be announced soon. There are 6 USB 3.0 ports,
multi-card reader and Wi-Fi b/g/n. Users can take optional extras such as an
HDMI port, TV tuner, slot-loading Blu-ray drive, or touchscreen.
Pavilion 23 is lower model so it does not
include the aluminum stand like Envy 23. It has a plastic stand instead. It has
a tray-loading DVD drive and the edge-to-edge glossy cover is gone, too. For
Pavilion 23, users can choose between Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge upon
demanding. But at the base price it comes with an AMD chip. If you want, you
can add a discrete graphics card but there will not be touch feature.

To explain for the fact that HP isn't
making touchscreens standard on these two models, they said that no many
customers wanted to use this function, what they really needed was a cheap one.
