HP Envy 32 All-in-One review: A PC for rocking out

[@octaves5NYC]

After waiting for a month for me to receive my customized HP Envy All-in-one 32", I received it yesterday!!! I'm so excited to learn about it's capabilities. So far the screen is awesome Bang and Olufsen speaker quality does not disappoint. So glad I ordered it when it was on sale!

[@tcams76]

This thing is a KZbin monster... loudest built-in speakers I have ever heard. No external speakers needed

[@tcams76]

Looks like they are sold out everywhere...rats I was saving for one. Everytime I go by a BestBuy I could listen to music videos all day long on this beast. Who needs a touchscreen for fingerprints, not me.

[@AQ-101]

I have one :)

[@BB-un1ue]

Is the pavilion also like this?

[@AQ-101]

@@BB-un1ue which pavilions? Is it the All in one like the one in the video? If so, absolutely, the audio is so insanely loud and clear, it even has surround seekers so you feel it when the sound is coming from a certain direction 😊

Good review, on my list now

[@kavelab699]

There's a new version with an i9-10900 8 core, 32gb Ram and a RTX 2080 Super!

[@AlovesJ14]

Do you by chance have that exact item number?

[@techsamurai11]

Yeah, but it probably maxes out at i7 and 2060 due to thermals and throttling - no point in paying $1,000 extra for 0% performance gain. Even worse, it would probably die within a week based on the reviews I've seen on HP's website. Ideally, you'd get this with i5 and onboard GPU.

[@Trusteft]

Hardawar? That's one of the coolest sounding names I have ever seen. Like just for that. There is a very good game with a very similar title, Hardwar.

Thnx for the video! Got mine today and im happy with it. The keyboard is good quality and i personally like this type of keyboard. Only the battery plate is flimsy but thats just the way its designed. The mouse is a bit light and plastic but not as bad as I thought after watching this video. For me the black levels are a bit disapointing but I am used to a OLED tv. The sound is very good and it looks great on my desk. The fans popped on a few times without putting any load on the system. This surprised me and they are louder then expected.

[@techsamurai11]

Is yours still running without crashes? How is the fan sound after using it for a year?

[@Rene86]

@@techsamurai11 no problems with crashes here. I bought my parents in law the same machine and they don’t have any problems either.

​@@Rene86 You're both lucky or the specs/usage don't push it as the thermal solution/power supply seems to be inadequate based on the reviews I've read.

i love the wooden look!

[@PrimiusLovin]

32" isn't too big for 4K multimedia content and for some panel cluttered productivity software like Premiere, it's quite a handy screen real estate especially if you have only one screen... but anything above 34" is too big to be sitting on a desk imo.

As someone who doesn't really care about upgrading/building my own pc, this type of all-in-one pc is for me. I'll wait maybe a year to see if I'd still buy it, but boy is this breathtaking. User Built-pcs or all-in-one pc types, the type of technology we have today is mindblowing.

Ordered a set in June, delivered end Oct 2020 - waited for 5 months due to Covid. Stunning set, high performance & very good sounds. Unfortunately WiFi card stopped working after 4 weeks & screen started "horizontal raining effect". HP Singapore is unable to repair my set & unable to get me a set for one-to-one exchange. Good thing they honour a full refund. Still a very good set if you get a good working set.

[@mrbubbapants2506]

I bought this hp aio pc and it was a nightmare I can not even describe. This was my first pc so I didn't really know what I was doing thus the aio... Ordering process literally took 3 months. Box arrived smashed and I could see the computer without opening the box, pc had no visible damage so I set it up, or attempted to. It would idle around 80c and blue screen trying to watch a KZbin video and chat on discord at the same time. In total spent hours and hours and hours on the phone with hp between ordering and troubleshooting overheating and in the end returning. Lots of time on hold. Got all my money back. In the end I was out 3000$ for about 5 months to have a paperweight for about a week. They did give me a 100% refund a few weeks after they received my returned pc. Ended up building my first pc after this whole situation. That went great!! I now passionately hate hp. And yes almost every time I called them I herd roosters in the background from different reps. Haha

[@BenjaminLee2009]

I have an LG gram 15" and I'm not happy about the built in speakers because it's volume is too low even on max. and I think the bass is non-existent. So I use a pair of cheap Logitech speakers, specifically, the Z120 model, and I can't say that I'm 100% happy with it still because I've heard better, but I make do with it because I'm not about to spend a couple hundred on a pair of speakers. I use my laptop for Netflix and KZbin Music. With this in mind, do you think I will be satisfied with the built-in speakers in HP's all-in-one PC?

[@techsamurai11]

This product should not be sold - it overheats and crashes all the time eventually dying within days. Read the reviews on HP's website (without a promotion). It's unacceptable that HP can't put together a proper heating solution for their AIOs in 2021. They should just hire the guys from Microsoft who worked on the Xbox Series X. Really worries me for the HP Envy 34 which I'm interested in but one crash a week isn't worth it (god forbid multiple crashes a day) and dying completely is a no-go when I'm writing this on a 100year old Lenovo A720 that looks just as nice as the HP and still works like a champ. I'm familiar with crashes as I'd upgraded the RAM on mine and it was defective so it would crash once a week and I called Crucial and got new free RAM and have had zero crashes since then. I can't imagine daily crashes and the machine dying altogether and dealing with HP's customer service which I have to recently. The power brick is massive but I'm not sure, it can handle the GPUs on this unit...

I am absolutely sick to death of wasting money them. Now i am thinking about getting a AIO? now i am waaaaay behind in the whole Desktop PC technology world, by that i mean i have a PC probably older than most of you reading this comment ....yeah it's a windows 1995 hunk of junk which hasn't been used since i left school back in 1999! As soon as i saw the AIO PC for the first time (Literally a couple of days ago) i thought they're well smart! Where the hell is the big bulky tower these days?
