HP Desktop Flat panel Envy Rove Experience

Dell and Sony have been involved in touch-screen tablet one machine, PC manufacturers Hewlett-Packard also launched a similar product, named Envy Rove, using a 20-inch touch screen and Windows 8 system, and rugged stent can be used as a handle to facilitate the user to move the fuselage. Of course, the so-called "portability", still need to bear 5.44 kilograms of fuselage weight. At the same time, as a "desktop flat" type of product features, the machine also has built-in lithium battery, can achieve nearly 3 hours of endurance. Let's take a look at the simple experience of the machine.

HP Envy Rove is not the first model to use "desktop flat" design, so its design looks similar to last year's Sony Vaio Tap 20. However, HP Envy Rove adopted a lower-end configuration, the processor model for the core i3-4010u, built-in 4GB memory, 1TB of mixed-type hard disk, so in the hardware test, the score is not ideal. As you can see, the Worldbench score for this machine is only 78 points, which is relatively poor compared to the traditional desktop.

However, if you do not need to do a lot of complex operations, HP Envy Rove can still meet the needs of day-to-day applications, such as email, watch online video, chat and so on. Although the resolution of the 1600*900 pixel is not fine on the 20-inch screen, the color is still quite bright, and the built-in 720P camera effect and beats audio speakers are good enough to achieve a good multimedia experience.

HP Envy Rove's package has a wireless mouse and keyboard, with quality above average. Another bright spot is that the machine uses the latest WiFi standard (802.11AC), but also the 2.4GHz and 5GHz two frequency bands, the wireless connection ability is more outstanding. In addition, the HP Envy Rove fuselage also built 3 USB 3.0 connectors (two on the left side, one on the right), and also designed the headset/microphone interface, SD card slot. However, the machine does not have a built-in Ethernet interface, so you need to use a USB adapter and no built-in optical drive. In addition, the fuselage also has a change to display the direction of the button.

HP Envy Rove's price is not very expensive, but also not much surprise, for 980 dollars (about 6000 yuan). In short, HP Envy Rove is not a traditional home PC, more use meaning is indoor mobile, Multiplayer touch control game, etc., practicality is not too high.
