CES2017 is the time HP debuts all-new lineup of PC products, including a curved gaming monitor too.
The announcement ranges from their EliteBook x360 for business, their iconic ultrabook – the Spectre x360, HP’s iconic Sprout sequel, and a brand new Omen-branded gaming monitor. Let’s take a look at each of them.
HP Elitebook x360
HP claims it’s the thinnest business convertible laptop, which combined the HP Spectre’s thin and light design, EliteBook Folio’s collaboration capabilities, and Elite enterprise security and durability. They also claims that it can last for an extensive 16 hours and 30 minutes.
Other than that, the HP EliteBook x360 comes with an optional 4K UHD display with Windows Hello and pen support. As part of the HP Elite family, the world’s most secure and manageable PCs, the business convertible includes latest innovations such as HP Sure Start Gen3, the world’s only self-healing BIOS now with run-time memory (SMM) protection. It also protects the office of the future with HP WorkWise, the most advanced Smartphone App for PC Management and first to offer Tamper Protection.
HP Spectre x360
Following the success of its 13.3-inch model, the second generation of HP’s 15.6-inch Spectre x360 is the most powerful in the Spectre portfolio. A bigger battery allows for up to 12 hours and 45 minutes while powering a 4K display with ultra-thin bezels. This is close to the same battery life as the Full HD model launched last year.
The new HP Spectre x360 features the latest Intel Core processors, NVIDIA GeForce 940MX graphics, adds two new front facing speakers expertly tuned by Bang & Olufsen for a great audio experience and an IR camera for Windows Hello.
HP ENVY Curved All-in-One 34
This is the next generation of HP’s award-winning and world’s widest curved all-in-one, now adds more computing power for immersive media experiences. The new curved AIO features a 34” diagonal Technicolor Color Certified Ultra WQHD display with ultra-thin bezels. It also gives the illusion that it floats over an integrated four-speaker sound bar tuned by Bang & Olufsen. For evening use, the display can easily switch to a low blue light mode for improved eye comfort and a better night’s sleep.
Sprout Pro by HP
We’ve all seen the HP Sprout from a few years ago. The idea behind it was fantastic – but there wasn’t much news about the Sprout. Now, HP makes a comeback with the brand new Sprout – the Sprout Pro.
It incorporates a grounds-up redesign with a 2.2mm thin, 20-point capacitive Touch Mat display with a sharper, near 1080p projected resolution. The advanced technologies and new features empower users in education, retail kiosk and manufacturing to create highly visual content and interactive experiences by blending the physical and digital worlds.
This new generation makes it easier to interact with Windows 10 Pro and streamlined software gives easy access to Sprout’s key features including faster 2D scanning, and for the first time, high-precision 3D scanning. Included is an Active Pen, allowing pressure-sensitive digital inking for annotation and design. It also now features an Intel Core i7 processor, 1TB of SSHD storage, up to 16GB of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M graphics for faster 3D scanning.
HP OMEN X 35 Curved Display
We all know HP has been pursuing the gaming path of devices since the last few years – but now, HP gets serious with gaming monitors with the announcement of the new OMEN X 35 Curved Display. It’s a 35-inch curved display with NVIDIA’s G-SYNC with a 100Hz refresh rate.
It is a 21:9 curved display with 3440×1440 in resolution. As it is curved, HP has stated that the HP OMEN X 35 has a 1,800R curvature.
