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

HP’s newest all-in-one PC is made for people who want to be surrounded with a gorgeous screen and excellent sound. It’s a multimedia powerhouse, though it’s a shame that HP’s mouse and keyboard feel pretty cheap.

    Wow he mentioned Bjork. It’s the name of my Cat. 😅



  3. Marko Schulze on April 25, 2021 at 2:58 am

    can someone tell me what the keyboard is and whether you can buy it individually?



  4. Wade Paints on April 25, 2021 at 2:59 am

    I always see that video on reviews, from 1:30 – 1:37 . It is clearly entertaining where do you get it?



  8. malikul abdullah on April 25, 2021 at 3:02 am

    1800 dollars for watching netflix, youtube and listening music, good review…



  9. djamil fertikh on April 25, 2021 at 3:04 am

    is one able to add an additional external display monitor./ if so which port do your recommend using for that? thanks



  10. R. Hendriksen on April 25, 2021 at 3:04 am

    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.

    Why the thinnn is sooo thick



  12. Mat AIne on April 25, 2021 at 3:05 am

    The design is pretty bad. I mean speaker’s inside the monitor. not a good idea at all.



  13. B Adventures on April 25, 2021 at 3:06 am

    Good practical review 👍



  14. Kevin Overton on April 25, 2021 at 3:06 am

    On the website when you’re customizing it..it gives you the option for an rtx 2080



  15. OberlandGamer on April 25, 2021 at 3:08 am

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



  16. NIRANJAN SAHU on April 25, 2021 at 3:09 am

    Can we play game in it ?



  17. Brikeswar Debbarma on April 25, 2021 at 3:09 am

    is there any thermel throttling



  18. BenjaminLee2009 on April 25, 2021 at 3:15 am

    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 YouTube Music. With this in mind, do you think I will be satisfied with the built-in speakers in HP’s all-in-one PC?



  19. GazzaDazzle on April 25, 2021 at 3:16 am

    I don’t care what people say, but god dam this guy is really ugly.



  20. andy cairns on April 25, 2021 at 3:17 am

    no option to install video cards , is a deal breaker for me , RTX2060 will be holding back an otherwise good pc , as far as us gamers are concerned.



  21. DuChene Design Solutions on April 25, 2021 at 3:17 am

    This can be used as a secondary monitor?



  22. Charlie Waite on April 25, 2021 at 3:18 am

    can you game on it?



  23. Itz_Vulego._. on April 25, 2021 at 3:19 am

    why dont they make all in one 24" 4K? 27" or 32" too big. My ipad is 2K.



  24. HISPEEDLEVEL on April 25, 2021 at 3:20 am

    Please do the lens focus on the display screen when you are shooting it! It’s braking my eyes when I watched it.



  25. Waro on April 25, 2021 at 3:20 am

    -sees the chin-
    Ight imma head out



  26. gugunanak134 on April 25, 2021 at 3:21 am

    Is it touchscreen??



  27. Kian Chong Chur on April 25, 2021 at 3:22 am

    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.



  28. Luis Gonzalez on April 25, 2021 at 3:22 am

    Can it rock Linux though



  29. 劉嘉旺 on April 25, 2021 at 3:24 am

    Competitive price compared to iMac and Surface
    Love the design of front camera, mouse and the keyboard!



  30. JASPAL SINGH on April 25, 2021 at 3:24 am

    Can u tell The price in india?



  31. jojo gonjalves on April 25, 2021 at 3:25 am

    Is it portable. Can i move it anywhere in hand



  32. frank john on April 25, 2021 at 3:25 am

    Please Engadget give us a different guy reviewer



  33. octaves5NYC on April 25, 2021 at 3:26 am

    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!



  34. Rick McCaffrey on April 25, 2021 at 3:26 am

    Great review. When you are using it as a second screen for your laptop, can you use the PC webcam for the laptop zoom calls?



  35. jethro static on April 25, 2021 at 3:28 am

    It will only have an advantage if the screen is touch capable. I would rather have a 32" monitor with a better PC than this.



  36. Jorge Kemp on April 25, 2021 at 3:28 am

    External power supply…? Really?



  37. Rakesh Hubert on April 25, 2021 at 3:29 am

    *Apple Crumble.*



  38. Neoand12 on April 25, 2021 at 3:29 am

    I hate how manufacturers just have up on All in ones. There are more designs to pull from if they try.



  39. Orville Griffiths on April 25, 2021 at 3:30 am

    In your written review you mention that the Envy 32 has a touch screen, but another reviewer says that it doesn’t! Who is right?



  40. Ryan Axen on April 25, 2021 at 3:31 am

    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 YouTube 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



  41. James Niland. on April 25, 2021 at 3:32 am

    Telling that it starts a $1800 for a low spec version… and you tested the beefed up one. I could only imagine how much they’re going to charge for that. It would have been good to mention the actual price of the reviewed unit. Because you didn’t and alluded to it being pricey, I suspect it is. Pricey. Otherwise great review.



  42. Saint Lucky on April 25, 2021 at 3:34 am

    I used to be team all-in-one, but It’s much more convenient to have a separate PC and monitor.



  43. Max T on April 25, 2021 at 3:34 am

    I would rather have even more screen than that ugly speaker front bezel.



  44. DAVID M.R. on April 25, 2021 at 3:36 am

    Joder que feo es el tío.



  45. Morvin Kamran on April 25, 2021 at 3:43 am

    Great review



  46. Greg Thomas on April 25, 2021 at 3:43 am

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



  47. sheldon white on April 25, 2021 at 3:44 am

    Wooow I want this



  48. Nicole Rowan on April 25, 2021 at 3:45 am

    i love the wooden look!



  49. Zed PLAYER on April 25, 2021 at 3:53 am

    Is it 60hz??



  50. Sith Lord on April 25, 2021 at 3:53 am

    Rather build my own Pc. I can add what i want and do upgrade down the line.
