In an era where technology continually evolves to meet our ever-changing needs, all-in-one (AIO) PCs have emerged as an innovative solution. They've put an end to the days when our workspaces were cluttered with wires and cumbersome towers, replacing them with machines that seamlessly blend power, style, space efficiency, and versatility.
At HP, we take pride in being at the forefront of these innovations. That's why we're thrilled to introduce the latest addition to the ENVY family of AIO PCs: the HP ENVY Move All-in-One PC.
In this comprehensive review, we'll discuss what makes it the world's most innovative AIO design, boasting the distinction of being the world's first movable AIO with a QHD display and adaptive surround sound. Additionally, we'll explore various use cases to help you understand where this remarkable device might come in handy.
Overview and design
Have you tried following your favorite chef’s recipe on your laptop but felt the screen was too small to read the instructions? You’ve probably thought of using your monitor but felt the hassle of taking it to another room was too much. Well, that’s where the HP ENVY Move PC shines best, as it's designed to offer the perfect blend of portability and a spacious screen.
It has an elegant and captivating design that’s pleasing to look at, so you can confidently use it even in public spaces like cafes. Its sleek form measures only 21.74 x 5.85 x 14.43 inches, so it doesn’t take much of your desk space. Plus, it weighs just 9.04 lbs, allowing you to carry it from one room to another effortlessly. Talking of portability, let’s explore various unique features that make the HP ENVY Move one of the most innovative AIO designs in the industry.
Rechargeable battery
While it's perfectly fine to use the HP ENVY Move All-in-One PC while tethered to a power source, you'd be missing out on one of its standout capabilities: the ability to use it anywhere thanks to its built-in rechargeable battery.
It comes with a remarkable 6-cell, 83Whr rechargeable battery that lasts up to 4 hours. It supports fast charging, which means that you can charge it up to 50% within 45 minutes for when you’re in a hurry. With this battery, you’ll never miss out on the action, even when an AC outlet is out of reach.
Keyboard pocket
The HP ENVY Move AIO has a Bluetooth keyboard with an integrated touchpad. When you're on the move or don't need to use the mouse or keyboard, simply turn the PC on its backside and you'll find a stylishly designed keyboard pocket for convenient storage.
Kickstand feet
The HP ENVY Move seamlessly adapts to any flat surface courtesy of our HP-patented kickstand feet that provide the necessary balance. When you place it on a flat surface, two smart feet on each side will emerge to support the PC. Moreover, they enable you to tilt it backward or forward, enhancing the user’s experience. These feet retract when you lift.
Integrated handle
We've also streamlined the carrying process to make it effortless to move with it from room to room with an integrated magnetic handle. To use it, lift the handle from its resting place at the rear.
Display and visuals
The HP ENVY Move AIO (24-cs0000) comes with a suite of features to elevate your family’s movie streaming experience. First, it has an expansive 23.8-inch touch screen display that integrates in-plane switching (IPS) technology, ensuring that everyone enjoys sharp visuals regardless of where they are seated.

The Move's brightness reaches up to 300 nits with BrightView technology. With these features, you can stream your favorite shows even if you’re outdoors and relish lifelike visuals with deeper blacks and brighter whites.
What’s more, this portable PC comes with innovative AI features to enhance your viewing experience. It intelligently adjusts brightness based on lighting conditions, and if you happen to get too close, the screen blurs. Additionally, you can monitor screen time and set time limits, which can prove to be a useful tool if you don’t want your kids to rack up excessive screen time during the holidays.
Benefits of QHD (2560 x 1440) display
The ENVY Move PC is the world’s first all-in-one PC with a quad high definition (QHD) resolution. This means that it delivers crisp, readable texts and visuals that pop with vibrant colors to provide users with an immersive viewing experience.
Performance and hardware
The HP ENVY Move is one of the best all-in-one PCs for multitasking. This is because we’ve powered it using a powerful Intel® Core™ i3-1315U processor with a clock speed of up to 4.5 GHz with 10MB L3 cache to enhance its responsiveness and ensure that it operates smoothly with minimal lag even when you are multitasking.
The HP ENVY Move has a fast storage solution of 256GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD. The solid-state drive (SSD) facilitates quicker boot times, speedy file transfers, and application loading time to enhance your experience.
We understand that users have diverse needs; hence, we provide customization options before purchase. That said, you can upgrade the SSD to 500GB or 1TB and get more storage space. Similarly, those with demanding tasks such as 3D rendering or machine learning can leap from PCle 3.0 to the faster PCle 4.0 for an extra boost.
Let’s talk sound. Experience loud, rich, and clear sound courtesy of Audio by Bang & Olufsen (B&O) and dual 5W speakers. The ENVY Move PC provides an immersive audio experience without the need for external speakers. It also has an adaptive surround sound feature that detects the number of present listeners and dynamically adjusts from stereo to spatial sound to create an impressive 3D audio experience.
Connectivity and ports
This portable PC comes with dual USB 3.2 ports (one Type-A and one Type-C) strategically positioned on the lower left side. These make it easier to connect peripheral devices and external hard drives. These ports boast a remarkable 10Gbps signaling rate for high-speed data transfers. On the right side, you’ll find an HDMI 1.4 port, which you can use to connect your gaming consoles or an additional screen.
The HP ENVY Move has Realtek RTL8852BE WiFi 6 (2x2) and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless card to enhance its wireless connectivity. The WiFi 6 ensures a faster and more reliable internet connection, perfect for bandwidth-intensive activities like extended gaming sessions with friends. Meanwhile, Bluetooth 5.3 enhances the reliability of your wireless devices by providing a smoother connection experience with accessories like headphones.
Sustainability and environmental impact
Throughout the years, we've remained steadfast in our commitment to champion environmental sustainability by incorporating recycled post-consumer plastic and metal materials into the construction of our tech products. It is an eco-conscious tradition that our HP ENVY Move All-in-One (24-cs0000) proudly follows as it’s EPEAT® Gold registered, which means that it meets a high standard of environmental performance.
Behind the scenes, our engineers have utilized 56% post-consumer recycled plastic in crafting components such as the display frame, buttons, rear cover, and speaker enclosure. Furthermore, they have incorporated 100% recycled polyester into the speaker cloth and keyboard pocket fabric.
