HP Expands All-in-One PC Portfolio, Offering Businesses and Consumers Performance, Reliability and Security

PALO ALTO, CA, Jul 09 (Marketwire) --
HP (NYSE: HPQ) today expanded its all-in-one desktop PC portfolio with
business and consumer designs that deliver multimedia-rich performance,
trusted reliability and enhanced security in a small footprint.

The new all-in-ones are designed as cost-, space- and energy-efficient
alternatives to a traditional desktop and monitor combination for
consumers and businesses, including government, healthcare, education and
retail customers. The new lineup also includes touch-enabled solutions
for businesses, building on 30 years of touch-technology innovation for
convenient and intuitive computing.

"Customers have been asking for all-in-one PC designs that do not
compromise on performance, reliability or security," said Emilio
Ghilardi, vice president, PC Division, Americas, HP. "With these sleek,
elegant designs and powerful options, HP continues to innovate to meet
the needs of a growing marketplace."

Products announced today are:

-- HP Compaq Elite 8300 All-in-One, HP's highest-quality all-in-one
business PC, featuring security and management features with optional
touch capability
-- HP Compaq Pro 6300 All-in-One, offering the optimal combination of
productivity, performance and serviceability needed to satisfy most
everyday business and public sector computing requirements
-- HP ENVY 23 All-in-One, an ideal PC for consumers who demand a sleek
design and enhanced performance
-- HP Pavilion 23 All-in-One, offering essential features and processing
power for everyday computing tasks

"All-in-one PCs are expected to grow in popularity, accounting for
27 percent(1) of worldwide desktop PC sales by 2016," said Danielle
Levitas, group vice president, IDC. "In a recent commercial PC buyer
study in the United States, IDC found that the purchase intent for
all-in-ones was up across the range of small to large businesses. This
trend puts vendors with a broad offering of all-in-one products and
options -- like HP -- in a very good position to meet that growing
commercial demand."

Smart designs for accelerated business efficiency
The HP Compaq Elite
8300 All-in-One Business PC, HP's most powerful and multimedia-rich
all-in-one PC, provides demanding enterprise users with proven
performance and the option for intuitive touch experiences. An
attractive, space-efficient solution ideal for customer-facing work
areas, kiosks and more, the PC features a 23-inch diagonal, full
high-definition (HD)(2) display with an optional built-in 2-megapixel
(MP) webcam and dual microphone array. SRS Premium Sound PRO(TM) also
comes standard for high-frequency definition in a variety of listening
environments.

Powered by third- and second-generation Intel(R) Core(TM) vPro(TM)
processors(3, 4) that provide outstanding performance, the HP Compaq
Elite 8300 All-in-One offers Intel HD Graphics or a choice of discrete
graphics to enhance imagery and multimedia capabilities. Intel Smart
Response Technology disk cache solution(5) also delivers a level of
performance normally associated with solid state drives, while retaining
the data-storage capacity of today's large hard disk drives.

With its added touch functionality, the HP Compaq Elite 8300 Touch
All-in-One employs multitouch, optical technology for interactive
healthcare, retail and other applications. The multitouch technology
recognizes simultaneous input from two fingers to enable the use of
gestures, and the onboard suite of HP touch-enabled software provides
interaction with files, media and productivity applications.

The HP Compaq Elite 8300 Touch All-in-One provides a solution for
healthcare patients to conveniently enter personal data and for students
to stay engaged. Both of the space-saving HP Compaq Elite 8300 models
also feature VESA-compatible mounting,(6) which allows retail business to
save valuable floor space and lets manufacturing facilities deploy
systems in easily accessible areas without cluttering work space.

The HP Compaq Pro 6300 All-in-One Business PC is a mainstream
business-class all-in-one designed for reliable and consistent computing.
The non-touch PC sports third- and second-generation Intel Core
processors(3) with optional discrete graphics for solid performance and
simple manageability for growing business environments, including
government organizations. It offers a 21.5-inch diagonal, full HD,(2)
LED-backlit display, internal stereo speakers and optional 2MP webcam.

The new business all-in-ones include multilayered client security
features that safeguard data, devices and user identities. Simple,
centralized deployment through HP ProtectTools(7) delivers defense
features, such as hard-drive encryption, HP Face Recognition, HP Disk
Sanitizer and HP File Sanitizer.(8) HP BIOS Protection(9) offers
hardware-level defense against virus attacks and other security threats.

Each of the announced desktops is preinstalled with Microsoft(R)
Windows(R). Microsoft also recognized HP as the 2012 Communications
Market Acceleration Partner of the Year, in celebration of the company's
advanced sales and deployment of Microsoft Lync, which provides instant
access to applications for collaboration.(10)

The business desktops also offer a choice of available tools with HP
Client Management and include the new HP Premier Image,(11) which
features a full suite of business software and antivirus protection,
while eliminating trial-ware and other distractions. Globally consistent
SKUs further simplify enterprise deployment and management, while a
multitiered testing process of more than 115,000 hours helps ensure a
lasting investment.

Stylish, affordable all-in-one PCs for every consumer
The HP ENVY 23 and
HP Pavilion 23 All-in-One PCs combine elegant design with robust
performance. Both offer full 1080p HD(2) 23-inch diagonal displays,
multicore processors, advanced graphics and up to 2 terabytes (TB) of
storage to accommodate the demands of any user.

The HP ENVY 23 All-in-One PC offers an elegant, free-standing display
with edge-to-edge glass that can be wall-mounted.(6) Engineered for an
enriched entertainment experience, the HP ENVY 23 comes standard with
Beats Audio(TM) and offers optional HDMI-in port, Blu-ray disc drive and
TV tuner.(12, 13)

The HP Pavilion 23 All-in-One PC features a slim and elegant easel design
and provides a choice of Intel or AMD processors that deliver exceptional
performance at an affordable price.

Both PCs offer wireless capabilities and exclusive features such as the
HP TrueVision HD Webcam, HP Magic Canvas and HP LinkUp for the latest in
connected entertainment and convenience. HP Magic Canvas software enables
users to expand the desktop horizontally to accommodate photos, videos
and applications. Microsoft Windows desktop shortcuts, task bar and start
menu can all be accessed through the HP Magic Canvas, so users can use
entertainment and work applications in the same place.
