Envy Move: HP builds a battery into a desktop PC
HP's new all-in-one PC should last up to four hours on a single charge. However, the Envy Move is not intended to compete with notebooks.
The HP Envy Move weighs 4.1 kilograms. You will therefore rarely take it out of the house as a laptop replacement by its carrying handle. According to the manufacturer's own information, it was primarily aimed at people who want to set up the 23.8-inch touchscreen flexibly in their home.
Carry the all-in-one PC comfortably around the home
HP assumes that "multi-functional rooms" and the home as a "multi-purpose place" will continue to increase. In other words: your own four walls are no longer just for relaxing in your free time. Home offices and sports are also finding their way into private spaces. That's why the computer should also be flexible.

The HP Envy Move's battery capacity of 83 watt hours is equivalent to a large laptop battery. The battery should be charged to 50 per cent in 45 minutes. However, the battery life of four hours is significantly shorter than that of a notebook. However, the 23.8 inch screen on the All-in-One PC is also larger. The touchscreen has 2560 × 1440 pixels.
HP equips the Envy Move with a carrying handle for transport. Stands are permanently installed and there is a pocket on the back for the accompanying Bluetooth keyboard. The other features at a glance:
- Intel Core i3 or i5 of the 13th generation
- Up to 16 GB RAM
- Up to 1 TB SSD
- Windows 11
- Wi-Fi 6/6E
- Bluetooth 5.3
- 5-megapixel webcam
- 1x HDMI
- 1x USB-C 3.1
- 1x USB-A 3.1
