HP has announced a series of new desktop and all-in-one PCs for professionals, plus new Z-series workstations for heavy workloads.
HP is introducing a handful of new desktop and all-in-one PCs geared towards professional users, featuring Intel’s 12th-generation processors and other upgraded specs. The company also announced a new PC meant specifically for video conferencing. The HP Presence AiO Conferencing PC with Zoom Rooms, as HP is calling it, is powered by Intel’s 12th-generation Alder Lake processors, specifically the 65W models, plus 16GB of DDR4 RAM (upgradeable) and a 256GB SSD. It comes in two variants: One with a 24-inch Full HD display and one with a 27-inch Quad HD panel. Both models come with a 5MP camera, as we’ve seen in many of HP’s PCs recently. The camera is enhanced by HP Presence so it supports auto framing, and the built-in microphones feature dynamic voice leveling so you’re always heard clearly. You also get the option to upgrade to a 16MP camera with pixel binning, which produces a 4MP camera with even better quality, particularly in extreme lighting conditions. The cameras can also be rotated if needed. On the software side of things, the PC is powered by an IoT edition of Windows, and it runs Zoom Rooms software, as the name suggests. It’s meant to be used in dedicated meetings spaces, so it’s not an everyday PC. If that’s what you want, though, the HP EliteOne 800 G9 AiO series might be for you, since it runs regular Windows 11.
