HP Inc.on Thursday announced the launch of two new PCs, HP Pavilion Wave and HP Elite Slice, that are revolutionizing traditional designs for the home and workplace.
The HP Elite Slice portfolio also includes the new HP Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms solution, the first conferencing room PC with one-touch meeting start.
HP Pavilion Wave starting price is $549.99 and is expected to be available at select retailers and HP.com on September 23. HP Elite Slice’s price starts at $699 and HP Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms starting price is $949, and both are expected to be available in September.
The HP Pavilion Wave is designed for entertainment and productivity for the home. This desktop is built around a fully integrated, advanced audio system to play music, listen to movies, web chats and Cortana. It features an iconic triangular form with an innovative parabolic reflector with an integrated speaker on top of the PC. The 360 Degree Multi-Directional Reflective Audio delivers a crisp audio profile at all frequencies. It is 85 percent smaller than traditional tower PCs.
The HP Elite Slice, HP’s smallest desktop is a desktop built for communications and collaboration. The company said it is the first modular commercial desktop with cable-less connectivity. The modular design features stunning curves in matte black with polished copper accents to streamline workplaces. It allows customers to pick and choose a factory cover or stackable options to add functionality including the Collaboration Cover or Wireless Charging Cover.
The cable-less design allows for a clean work environment because customers do not separate cables plugged into the wall to power each component.
