HP shows all-in-one with curved screen and new version of Sprout PC

HP presented two new systems at the CES trade show in Las Vegas. The Envy all-in-one features a 34″ curved screen on a wide base. In addition, HP is releasing a new version of the Sprout introduced in 2014, which is aimed at education and business.

The Envy all-in-one has a curved 34″ IPS screen with a resolution of 3440×1440 pixels. It stands on a wide base, which is suitable for wireless charging, for example. Users can choose from an Intel Core i7-7700T or a Core i5 processor.The system has up to 16GB of RAM and a 1TB hard drive, which can be combined with a 256GB SSD.There are also four USB 3.0 ports and a USB-C port with Thunderbolt 3. In addition to models with a Radeon RX460 from AMD, variants with a GTX 950MX GPU from Nvidia are available.

The Sprout Pro G2 is a system that has a projector and a 3D scanner, with which the computer is suitable as a design platform, for example. In addition, a 21.3″ touch-sensitive mat, which HP calls “touchmat”, allows users to control the system. The mat has 20 touch points that work simultaneously and can achieve a projected resolution of almost 1080p, according to HP. Full HD touchscreen has a diagonal of 23.8″.

With the 3D scanner present, users can scan objects in 2D and 3D by holding them in front of the camera. By placing a document on the touchmat, it is also possible to make a normal scan. The G2 version features a pressure-sensitive ‘Active Pen’, which allows users to draw on the touch mat. The mat must be able to distinguish between the pen and a hand. The Sprout Pro G2 has a Core i7-7700T processor on board and has 16GB of RAM. There is a SSD with a capacity of 1TB in addition to a GeForce GTX 960M GPU from Nvidia.

The Sprout Pro G2 should be available from March. HP has not yet announced a price. The Envy PhD will be available in Europe from February for 2499 euros.
