Apple always dominates all-in-one computers, but other brands have excellent offerings if you don't like the macOS ecosystem. For example, this HP Envy line has some impressive features, but it feels slightly a last year device, even though it's releasing this year. Nevertheless, it can still give remarkable performance.

Still want to see a display INPUT being normalised in these things so you can still use it as a monitor when the built in hardware is out of date and too slow. My displays always outlast multiple pcs

[@hi_tech_reptiles]

You buy more up to date monitors than me lol. I need a new monitor for my 2019 PC atm.

[@FrangezM]

Yeah building AIOs without display in should be straight up illegal. It would cost basically nothing and would keep tons (literally) of hardware out of landfills

[@mrsnw]

yup! I have an old dell inspiron ONE AIO and I only use it as a monitor these days since the pc components have had alot of failures. still a strong monitor too

Holy smokes, is this an actually decent AiO? I'm honestly impressed. I didn't think I'd ever see something like this. I'm not the target audience for this, but as far as these things go, this seems really well put together. Also, it's kind of impressive that it manages to remain so quiet under load

[@MrRinre]

Bout time we have some decent windows AIO

[@KenS1267]

The fact that you can add RAM and a drive, which honestly is all most people would ever even want to add, with all that I/O makes this a really impressive AIO. I could easily see recommending this for someone's home office or the like.

[@michalsnaiberg2734]

Also, the fact that it has a HDMI output means that once the screen dies, you can still use it with an external monitor. Which is something I always hated about other AiO where if the screen died, go buy a new one.

[@littlejackalo5326]

People don't upgrade ram. It's been proven. The only time is happens in any appreciable amount is when someone buys the lower model, and more RAM at the same time, and immediately installed it. To save the $300 to go from the 8 gig to the 16 gig model, they buy 8 gig model and $120 worth of ram at the same time, and save $150. Other than that, people aren't upgrading ram down the road. This is the same as the comment about adding display in for AIO computers, so they can be used as monitors after that. The same as the tiny group of people that want sports cars and supercars to have manual transmissions. That tiny group of people are statistically irrelevant. Most of the time the vocal ones aren't even in the market for a supercar, so their opinion is even more irrelevant. Same goes for the ram and monitors. The vocal people are generally enthusiasts who would never buy an AIO anyways. So they would never be in the situation to use it as a standalone monitor anyways.

[@utubekullanicisi]

Yeah, so much excellence in his Persona in fact, that he's saying stuff like "Apple used to care" to only spread toxic misinformation. He can criticize the SSD being soldered in in Macs, but there's a reason Apple uses soldered in memory in M1 Macs. The reason is they're using much faster and much more power efficient LPDDR memory. The LPDDR5 memory Apple uses in the new MacBooks and the Mac Studio runs at 6400MT/s, as fast as overclocked and much more power hungry DDR5. They can do that only because the memory is soldered in (not to mention in the same SoC package), so they can control the signal flow and integrity much better.

[@rogerklk]

I'd say he's a good host however you need to back off a little bit, there's nothing special in this video. Actually, there's loads of annoying rants that it's just leading the pace of the video, and that's not great hosting. Is him even being that brilliant or changing our lives as he elaborate?

11:00 I hate the fact that the deal between HP and B&O is heavily based on software. They do this on their laptops as well. The problem is, say you want to stream/record you game and you don't have other speakers or headphones plugged in(i.e. you have to use the speaker on the monitor/laptop). You will end up streaming the altered version of the sound that sounds right to you but might sound weird to the viewers. You need to turn off the B&O software so that your viewers can hear the REAL sound but then it will sound horrible on your end.

[@vladivanovich]

In my experience, I wouldn’t diss the wireless charger on the computer. Reason being ever since I bought my iPhone 13, I noticed my old wireless chargers do not work with the iPhone. I’m assuming the magnets on there are doing something to mess with the coils. Since you both tested with iPhones, that could be a reason why?

[@Underskore]

that'd be why, qi charging works off of magnetism.

[@littlejackalo5326]

It's because Apple disabled support for low powered qi chargers. New iphones with magsafe magnets use the same exact technology as every other qi phone and dock. The magnets have nothing to do with the qi coil. They did the same with the apple watch.

[@MrRinre]

But qi works on EM tech right? Why does it have issues with other chargers that use the same tech? Or is there other compatibility issues?

[@ViXoZuDo]

I'm pretty sure the problem is that he didn't align it properly, and that charger is probably a single coil one. That's why Jonathan iphone started to charge while Anthony's didn't.

[@vladivanovich]

@@ViXoZuDo on my pixel charger whenever I put the 13 on it it lights up the screen but doesn’t actually charge. For some reason it shows like it does, however, if I do the same for my previous iPhone without MagSafe and the pixel, they both work like a charm.

What more do you need to know? But wait for 12gen. It will be hugely more power efficient. Otherwise I think it is a practical little machine. The screen will out-life the other components probably in terms of performance so from a sustainability standpoint not the greatest. Just a word of caution, I own the 340c ultra-wide and had to turn the screen in for HP to replace the Bang olafsun speakers as one of the channels died after just a few months.

I really like this approach of different staff coming to stare at a product and giving their impressions, especially Horst, who - as he said so himself - is mostly in this Apple world all day long which makes his input a nice contrast to the PC/Android folks on the team. Not that the awesomeness that is Anthony can be defined by being a fan of one platform or even seven. Something similar has already been done with a couple of monitors impressions as far as I remember.

[@BerserkBrownie]

but its OOOOOLLDDDD 32 gb minimum and 12th gen... 😤😤

[@MrRinre]

OK I know this is a joke but from what I've seen, the people who need 32gigs or more already have access to servers with buckets of ram. What other single purpose work needs that much ram?

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

@@MrRinre I don't have any server. I do play games, and I've actually stuck with 32GB of ram for two generations in a row. My next will probably be a step up though, as I won't be getting a new rig for a few years most likely. I don't really need 32GB, but I do play some games that get greedy, and including my other programs and the OS I've exceeded 18GB of ram at times. 24GB would probably be fine for me, but having some additional insurance is good. I do occasionally do video encoding too, though not enough for me to really need 32GB, I think (Handbrake, 4K/60 usually). Basically, better to have it and not need it, and need it and not have it. The cost difference between high speed 24GB and 32GB isn't that big, especially when you compare it to the cost of say, a flagship GPU.

Anthony: Why do you buy last year's tech? Me: Wow, cool!

[@PlatinumEagleStudios]

Good. An actually decent looking HP AIO. I love the SD card reader in the stand.

[@DDRWakaLaka]

4:00 NGL i do miss imacs having the little door on the bottom to access the RAM

[@avenged110]

I really wish we could easily get a beautiful glossy finish like that on (relatively) cheap external 4K displays. I _hate_ matte displays.

[@AdityaGupta-om8ez]

Well Jono will now get Anthony nightmares

[@localblackman427]

the power cord thing with the new apple display is the same unremovable cable setup they had for the OG 32inch cinema display

[@jugglelulz]

Loved the "Peel from the other side"

[@soloyoujo]

Man, I love Anthony. Can't get enough of his videos! And that PC is kinda good, not gonna lie. The screen is a little too much and jacks up the price a little bit to much for me (a 1440p panel and 300 dollars cheaper would suit me better), but it's good.

[@georgestellakis2134]

F for Anthony

[@crunchystrat2324]

My schools new HPs came with those keyboards. I hated how slim they were, but they had good typing feel.

[@abba2566]

So in a dark room with a triple monitor set up, open Wikipedia or some website that’s predominantly white on both ~350nit side monitors and it actually gives pretty nice soft lighting for a zoom call. With this being a ring light and like 500 nits, I imagine in similar conditions it would actually be pretty effective - if it works with zoom/teams whatever and it also might be super annoying in that scenario as it takes up a lot of your screen. Cool idea though!

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

The number of people remarking on how other companies are copying the built-in webcam on the Studio Display is hilarious. First, this is an all-in-one desktop, not a monitor. It’s common for AIOs to have webcams. Second, the Samsung S4 monitor has a webcam and was launched in September 2021, before the Studio Display. And *before that* in January, Dell launched a series of monitors with built-in cameras. Both companies were targeting the WFH audience that ballooned all of a sudden… for some reason. The last Apple monitor with a webcam before that (Thunderbolt Display) was launched in 2011 and discontinued in 2016. But sure, whatever you say.

[@zeighy]

and even before that, Lenovo had a series of monitors that had built in webcams.... not to mention the niche market of AIO pc out there

[@dennispremoli7950]

Using the display as a digital ring light is actually really smart.

[@MrMW2nd]

On snapchat if you take a picture with your front camera and flash on, the screen acts as a flash. Same concept and should be used more often

[@dennispremoli7950]

@@MrMW2nd Yes of course, same on iPhone, but I've never seen it applied to a full size display.

[@RC2225]

Those round webcams always reminds me of the Apple iSight camera. I think that would be a cool mod to replace the inside with a modern webcam.

[@billbrown69]

Anthony was fiery for this whole episode and it was great 🤣

[@bryanmcgoon1915]

I appreciate how objective Anthony is despite his initial thoughts. Good review and it's nice seeing Anthony back on screen again.

[@SuperSuperka]

not really objective. the unique monitor, super-good (for IPS), glossy! I'd buy this because of it, and he just don't care.

[@Mountain-Man-3000]

Damned right Jono! Tell it like it is!

[@TheDirtyBirchTrails]

Another good Anthony review !!

[@adamray7249]

Honestly REALLY AWESOME design for an all in one!
