How the ENVY Move Can Improve Home Computing
Table of Contents
The nature of work and play is evolving, with less emphasis on a single dedicated office or medium. Work functions have become more mobile, and new technology has emerged to keep you connected outside the office. Providing mobility without sacrificing performance is the goal, freeing you from a single workspace and delivering enough power to handle various tasks.
Designed with this new reality in mind, the HP ENVY Move is a mobile all-in-one PC that combines the advantages of an AiO form factor with the flexibility of a convertible laptop or tablet. In this article, we’ll explore a range of ENVY all-in-one features and how they can improve your routine - regardless of how you typically work.
Portable build and flexible design
Bulky desktops and older all-in-ones aren’t an easy option when you require frequent changes of scenery, leaving you to juggle one or more secondary devices on the go or even on the road. That’s especially true if you typically use a larger form factor, forcing you to commit to a more expensive laptop to keep a bigger display.
The ENVY Move rests on two convertible kickstand feet built from 46% recycled metals that you can easily shift for movement and count on for stability during use. It’s also lightweight, weighing under 10 lbs total when bundled with the keyboard, so you can quickly shift spaces whenever needed. When you’re ready to change things up, simply adjust the kickstand, place the keyboard in the rear pouch, and use the integrated handle to move around.
Big upgrade for multitasking
With a fundamental emphasis on flexibility, the ENVY Move is an excellent option for busy households, workplaces, and the most industrious multitaskers. For home users, that means accounting for a range of tasks and scenarios, whether burning the midnight oil on a big project or trying to make sure your kitchen partners follow a new recipe to the letter.
Featuring a 23.8-inch QHD (2560 x 1440) touch screen and a compact Bluetooth keyboard, the ENVY Move is an easy fit in unusual spaces and a great hub when collaborating with others. It’s also perfect for handling multiple tasks at once or completing a multi-stage process, especially tasks that require sporadic attention and lots of extraneous activity.
Powerful performance
Available in several customizable configurations, the ENVY is powered by up to an Intel® Core™ i5-1335U processor. That provides up to a 4.6 GHz clock speed, 12 MB L3 cache, 10 cores, and 12 threads, with integrated Intel UHD Graphics, plus as much as 16GB of efficient LPDDR5-4800 MHz RAM.
That outlay guarantees good performance for general computing and some specialized tasks, with a powerful enough processor and graphics to support a part-time gaming habit. You can also configure your ENVY Move with as much storage as you need, offering up to 1TB of high-efficiency PCIe® SSD storage.
Immersive display and audio
One of the big advantages of a desktop PC or AiO is screen real estate. That makes it more affordable to upgrade your monitor and create an immersive gaming, entertainment, or creation space. The ENVY Move’s generous 23.8-inch diagonal display sets a high bar for immersion, while touch screen functionality opens up a range of extra interactions.
But what about audio? With tuning by B&O and a new adaptive audio feature that can detect your distance from the device and adjust accordingly, the ENVY Move is a great platform for streaming content or staying in touch with friends online. It’s also environmentally friendly, with four bottles of ocean-bound plastic for the speaker case and 100% recycled polyester speaker cloth.
Great connectivity options
For most users, immersion and mobility mean an expectation of excellent connectivity and wireless. To guarantee easy use of all your preferred peripherals and the accompanying keyboard, the ENVY Move features a Bluetooth 5.3 wireless card and your choice of WiFi protocol, with your choice of Realtek WiFi 6E RTL8852CE or RTL8852BE WiFi 6.
It also features a USB Type-A port with a 10 Gbps signaling rate, a USB Type-C that supports DisplayPort™ 1.4a, plus an HDMI-in 1.4b video connection. What can you do with HDMI-in 1.4b? It supports better-than-1080p gaming and displays for content in the highest quality possible on the ENVY Move’s QHD display.
Long battery life
In another situation, moving your desktop PC would mean navigating a host of problems with power delivery and managing connections. Instead, the ENVY Move builds in a 6-cell, 83Wh Li-ion polymer, so you can go mobile for long periods without power-up using the 90W Smart AC power adapter.
When you’re done working and ready to move on to another project, it provides up to 4 hours of portable battery time or up to 4 hours and 15 minutes for video playback. The 90W power adapter also packs some added benefits, including efficient delivery and quick recharge times - expect up to a 50% charge in around 45 minutes.
Convenient security features
Though every routine presents different concerns, a device designed for portability and multiple scenarios always benefits from well-integrated security features. When it comes to physical safeguards, the ENVY Move incorporates a visible privacy shutter key so that you can easily turn your camera off between calls or meetings.
Preparing for multiple use scenarios also puts a premium on accessibility, so you can keep your settings where you want them without getting hung up on complex log-ins. Another camera-related security feature on the ENVY Move is facial recognition, which you can set up for your HP Wide Vision 5MP camera using Windows Hello.
User-friendly design and interface
That emphasis on convenience and security is part of an overall emphasis on user-friendly design, focusing on comfort, ease of use, and accessibility. Easy access and privacy control dovetails with a lightweight build, so moving around is as simple as picking up the ENVY Move and setting it down wherever you plan to set up shop.
A high-resolution touch screen display creates a more accessible device to segue between applications and users. The integrated keyboard pouch and handle make transitioning between spaces a straightforward process without cords to worry about - even the keyboard can be left behind if you’re in a rush and know you won’t need it.
Real-world use scenarios
In many ways, the HP ENVY Move is like a typical home computer. It has a good balance of hardware and multipurpose features, as well as good security and connectivity. But the form factor is unique, leading to a variety of different ways and opportunities to use it in new ways - that you might not consider for a desktop or a typical laptop build. In this section, we’ll explore a few real-world scenarios where the ENVY Move’s unique mobile all-in-one design can benefit home users.
Robust workflow for professionals
For remote workers and professionals who need to stay engaged outside of a set work schedule, the ENVY Move provides many of the same benefits you’d expect from a well-provisioned laptop or tablet. You can easily shift work environments from office to living spaces, whether you want a change of scenery or need access to other parts of your space for a particular project.
Flexible hub for entertainment and activity
With easy security and a compact design, the ENVY Move can also easily segue from work to family activities or projects with friends. The 23.8-inch diagonal display gives it all the advantages of a larger desktop monitor or small television, so you can stream content or take video calls from a kitchen, dining area, or even the garage.
Seamless platform for creation
The ENVY Move is a solid platform for budding artists or sharing creative activities within your household. Touch screen interactions allow for a wider variety of input applications, youthful experimentation, and a more direct transition to digital creation. 16GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage also mean you’re well equipped for day-to-day computing or managing the family photo album.
Summary
Designed for flexibility, the ENVY Move is intended to provide a more durable and practical home device. The new form factor and design allow it to take on a variety of roles, from a personal workstation to a shared media center or conferencing hub. Security features provide more convenience and peace of mind when used by the whole family.
Strong connectivity options, battery life, and multimedia features also elevate the ENVY Move. You can feel free to watch what you want and how you want to, without worrying about finding the perfect spot near the right outlet. The emphasis on user-friendly design also makes it an easy addition to family activities, with an interface that accommodates different experience levels.
