Offering Businesses and Consumers Performance, Reliability and Security

 

---

HP today expanded its all-in-one desktop PC portfolio with business and
consumer designs that deliver multimedia-rich performance, trusted reliability
and enhanced security in a small footprint.

The new all-in-ones are designed as cost-, space- and energy-efficient
alternatives to a traditional desktop and monitor combination for consumers and
businesses, including government, healthcare, education and retail customers.
The new lineup also includes touch-enabled solutions for businesses, building on
30 years of touch-technology innovation for convenient and intuitive
computing.

“Customers have been asking for all-in-one PC designs that do not compromise
on performance, reliability or security,” said Emilio Ghilardi, vice president,
PC Division, Americas, HP. “With these sleek, elegant designs and powerful
options, HP continues to innovate to meet the needs of a growing
marketplace.”

 

Products announced today are:

 

• HP Compaq Elite 8300 All-in-One, HP’s highest-quality all-in-one business
  PC, featuring security and management features with optional touch capability
• HP Compaq Pro 6300 All-in-One, offering the optimal combination of
  productivity, performance and serviceability needed to satisfy most everyday
  business and public sector computing requirements
• HP ENVY 23 All-in-One, an ideal PC for consumers who demand a sleek design
  and enhanced performance
• HP Pavilion 23 All-in-One, offering essential features and processing power
  for everyday computing tasks

 

“All-in-one PCs are expected to grow in popularity, accounting for 27
percent⁽¹⁾ of worldwide desktop PC sales by 2016,” said Danielle
Levitas, group vice president, IDC. “In a recent commercial PC buyer study in
the United States, IDC found that the purchase intent for all-in-ones was up
across the range of small to large businesses. This trend puts vendors with a
broad offering of all-in-one products and options—like HP—in a very good
position to meet that growing commercial demand.”
