HP’s new Windows 11 devices provide wide range of choices for a hybrid world

[News Bot]

HP’s newest Windows 11 devices are designed for people who learn, play and work from home, at the office and on the go. Along with the company’s new premium and mainstream PCs, HP will also begin shipping Windows 11 across its existing portfolio beginning later this fall. Select devices will include a FREE Upgrade to Windows 11 when available (see below*). The HP Spectre x360 16 – the first HP consumer notebook made with recycled CNC aluminum to help reduce its environmental impact – includes a 5 MP IR camera that makes it easy to login using Windows Hello. The camera also features a physical shutter controlled by a hot key, with an on-screen display shown in all apps that use the camera to remind the user of its status for added security.

HP GlamCam in the HP Command Center has a Beauty Mode setting to touch up skin, teeth and eyes. Lighting Correction adjusts for a seamless transition when you're moving from the office to the patio. And with Chat from Microsoft Teams in Windows 11, you’ll be able to reach anyone (for free) however you prefer (call, chat, text, video) right from your device. Bold details and visuals come to life on the up to UHD+OLED display with VESA True Black HDR and 100% color calibration [1]. Newly designed quad speakers deliver higher volume and more balanced treble versus the Spectre x360 15, while AI Noise Removal mutes background noise. This laptop has an Intel Evo verified platform option [2], with up to 11th Gen Intel Core i7 Processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU and up to 17 hours of battery life. The HP Spectre x360 16 is expected to be available beginning in October at HP.com for a starting price of $1,639. It will also be available at Best Buy later this fall. The all-new HP ENVY 34 All-in-One PC aims to appeal to creators on many levels. It’s got a 34-inch, height-adjustable WUHD 5K display, which is also wider (21:9 micro-edge) to reduce time scrolling or switching to different windows. Coupled with the new Windows 11 Snap Layouts, you can easily view multiple documents side by side or quickly move a window to a specific region of the screen. Behind the screen, up to 11th Gen 8-core Intel Core i9 S-series processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 graphics power the device. To change the way you collaborate with others, you can move the detachable, magnetic 5 MP camera lens along the sides of the display. You can also customize how you appear with HP Enhanced Lighting. Other features include an embedded power supply, advanced thermal solution, wireless charging pads built into the stand and multiple ports, including Thunderbolt 4 support. The HP ENVY 34 AiO is expected to be available beginning in October at HP.com for a starting price of $1,999. The HP 11-inch Tablet PC is the company’s first Windows 11 tablet PC, optimized for touch and designed for productivity and creativity on the go. Share your experiences in real time using the 13 MP mechanical camera, which makes it easy to go from selfie mode to a world-view mode in an instance, or even to the desktop view for real time-sharing during video calls. This is another device where you can make the most of Windows 11 Snap Layouts in both landscape and portrait mode, using the built-in kickstand to view content, edit between two apps and share content while on a video call. You can also do more with the detachable magnetic keyboard or discover new ways to collaborate and create with ease using the HP Rechargeable Tilt Pen and Windows Ink. Seamlessly move between devices to create, work and play with the HP Tablet and its SuperSpeed USB Type-C port. The HP 11-inch Tablet PC is expected to be available in December at HP.com for a starting price of $599. It will also be available at Best Buy in December.
