The new PCs, according to HP, were designed to help users focus and stay productive in modern work environments – whether it’s in a hybrid office setting, at home, or elsewhere. While professionals and creators may be moving around, there’s still a segment who will be “sitting for long periods of time,” Andy Rhodes, HP’s global head of commercial systems and display solutions, said to reporters. “They want to log in and get right to it. They often have a desire for much more performance than anyone in the organization.” For professionals who need the best performance for collaboration, HP is introducing new all-in-ones integrated with HP Presence – its collaboration and conferencing tools. They include a 5MP camera with HP Auto Frame, which keeps users in the frame even as they move around. Dynamic Voice Leveling automatically optimizes voice clarity for a consistent volume, while AI-noise reduction filters unwanted background noises. The optional 16MP binning (4MP) camera automatically captures more video detail when working in especially bright or dark areas. The new HP AiO PCs can also automatically convert to standalone displays, helping IT teams get more use out of them. The devices also come with Wolf Security for Business. For teams that need solid videoconferencing tools, HP is offering the HP Presence AiO Conferencing PC with Zoom Rooms. It’s available with a 23.8" or 27" diagonal display and powered by a 12th Gen Intel processor and comes with Zoom Rooms software preinstalled. This AiO is expected to be available in May. The HP EliteOne 800 G9 AiO Desktop PC comes with HP Presence, 12th Gen Intel processors, and Windows 11. It’s designed for hybrid workspaces – with clean-desk cable management and a small footprint – and is available with a 23.8" or 27" diagonal display, Wi-Fi 6E12, and Bluetooth 5.2. The stand also offers optional wireless charging. The PC is expected to be available in May.
