HP introduced a bevy of products at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) including the Envy Curved All-in-One (AIO) 34. Despite being thinner and having a wider curved display than its predecessor, the AIO PC has also been equipped with more computing power.

The new HP Envy Curved AIO PC features a 34-inch diagonal ultra-wide QHD display with a resolution of 3,440 x 1,440 pixels. The wider curve on the screen makes the edges taper even more and with the micro-edge border, it looks like the display is floating on air. HP also made sure to include a low blue night mode to prevent eye fatigue and restless nights.

In terms of dimensions, the display is only 10.5 mm wide on the sides and on top and 14 mm at the bottom. It also has a 178-degree viewing angle. The display is supported by a sculpted aluminum stand and an integrated four-speaker sound bar from Bang & Olufsen.

The HP Envy Curved AIO 34 is powered by the seventh-generation Intel Core i7-7700T processor and the AMD Radeon RX 460 graphics card which comes with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. The AIO PC can support up to 16 GB of random access memory (RAM). Options for built-in storage include 1 TB of hard disk drive (HDD) and 256 GB of solid state drive (SSD).

The AIO PC also comes with a Premium Lifestyle Wireless Keyboard with volume control and an optical mouse. It is equipped with four USB 3.0 ports and one USB 3.1 Type-C port with Thunderbolt 3.

It runs the Windows 10 Home operating system with support for the biometric security system, Windows Hello, and digital personal assistant Cortana. The PC comes with a charger base which allows users to charge their Android smartphones wirelessly. Furthermore, the HP TrueVision HD IR Camera comes with a spring mechanism so it only pops up when needed. This eliminates the risk of being spied on.

The HP Envy Curved AIO 34 will be available to purchase at HP.com on Jan. 11 and at select retailers beginning Feb. 26. It has a starting price of $1,729.99.
