All-in-one desktop computers are some of the most compact PCs on the market, and the HP Pavillion series is no exception. It’s designed to keep your home and your desk clutter-free. You do not have to worry about a separate CPU tower, monitor, and all the cables running in between them. With these computers, there’s only the power cable that needs to be connected. Everything else is wireless and easy to connect.

Multiple HDMI inputs

HP Pavilion AiO computers come with large, vibrant displays that are perfect for enjoying your home audiovisual experience. Displays come with four HDMI inputs to plug in all your peripherals, like gaming consoles, media centres, set-top boxes, laptops, tablets, and more. It’s like getting a TV and a PC all in one package.

Key features of HP Pavilion AiO computers

Operating system

Windows 11 Home is standard across all four HP Pavilion All-in-One models. It comes preinstalled and pre-activated so that you can get started as soon as you switch it on for the first time.

Display

Another great benefit of an HP Pavilion AiO is its anti-glare display, available in two sizes: 31.5 and 27 inches. The 31.5-inch displays are quad high definition (QHD), meaning the resolution is 2560 x 1440, much larger than your standard 1080p HD video. So you can view an HD video in full resolution and still have screen space left over to multitask if you wish. The 27-inch displays are 1080p, full HD displays.


The larger displays are also slightly brighter - 350 nits vs. 300 nits. All displays have 99% sRGB, giving you colour reproduction that looks vibrant and lifelike.

Audio

You won’t have to strain yourself to catch music or voices in virtual meetings with this AiO line’s audio. These desktops come with B&O 4W speakers, giving you a total of 8W of sound -great for casual listening, video calls, and more. You can also connect these computers to external speakers with the mic/headphone combo port. 

12th Generation CPUs

You’ll enjoy better multitasking and a faster computer experience on an HP Pavilion AiO. These PCs come with 12th Generation Intel® Core™ processor, the latest chips from Intel with the best processing power on the market right now.

Integrated graphics

All the HP Pavilion All-in-One models come with integrated Intel graphics, varying between the 730 and 770 chips. These chips can deliver the multimedia performance you expect from a modern PC. You can enjoy all your local media files from cameras, phones, and tablets, and immerse yourself in online streaming platforms.

SSD storage

All of the Pavillion models come with M.2 SSD storage as standard. The storage size varies according to the price point, but the mere presence of the SSD means that you are going to get a much faster desktop experience. This will be especially evident if you upgrade from an HDD-based system.

DDR4 RAM

While Pavilion AiO models come with DDR4 RAM, the memory size changes based on the model chosen. Since the debut of DDR5, DDR4 memory has become cheaper to buy, making DDR4 machines like this easier to upgrade. So if you want to upgrade to more RAM, you can do so quite affordably.

Webcam

All HP Pavilion All-in-One models come with the same 5MP HP Truevision Webcam, with features like privacy guard and temporal noise cancellation. This is a great addition for those who rely on video calls to work from home, stay in touch with friends and family, or teach online.

Connectivity

All Pavilion AiO models come with a 5Gbps SuperSpeed USB Type-C port, one SuperSpeed USB Type-A port, and two USB 2.0 Type-A ports. An RJ-45 LAN port is also included, along with the combined mic/headphone audio port.


Now, let’s look at the top three HP Pavilion All-in-Ones based on various use-case scenarios.

Given that all other specs are the same, it is still worth the little extra cost for the upgrade, given the additional screen real estate and better sound. As mentioned earlier, the larger screen also gives you a higher resolution display, making it easier to fit more onto your screen without losing out on the detail.


This system is ideal for larger spaces, especially if this will be the main family entertainment system. Similar to other models, this has four HDMI inputs, allowing you to replace your TV with your PC display. It will also work great in commercial spaces that have the need for a larger display without requiring additional processing power and memory. 


The HP Pavilion 32-b0390in comes with the super-fast Intel WiFi 6 AX WLAN compared to the basic Realtek WiFi 6. Even though both support gigabit file transfer, the Intel option is a more robust solution with higher throughput. This prepares your system for extra wireless activities, such as your media and file servers at home.

HP Pavilion 32-b0590in: The top-end Pavillion AiO system

The large QHD IPS display on the HP Pavilion 32-b0590in is a treat for the eyes, and with Intel UHD Graphics 770, you’ll really notice your work and entertainment shine. In addition, this model comes with extra storage at 1TB of SSD, which is always a welcomed perk.

The processor also gets bumped up to a 12th Generation Core i7 processor (12700T), allowing you the ability to run heavier multitasking workflows. Coupled with 16GB of RAM, it is an ideal choice for those who need extra performance from their home or office computers. If you are working from home, this is a terrifc choice for an all-around all-in-one PC.

The price point is higher than the mid-range model but the extra power, memory, and storage are all worth the additional cost. These also make the system that much more future ready.

Summary

The HP Pavilion All-in-One computers are seen as home computers, but they can also be highly effective in commercial and office environments that do not demand high-end computing power.
