HP Envy Curved 34-A051 Signature Edition
HP Envy Curved 34-A051 Signature Edition ($1,949 as tested) is an all-in-one desktop with a 34-inch, ultra-wide curved screen that features a 21:9 aspect ratio. It's one of the widest all-in-one systems we've seen so far, and offers an unprecedented amount of on-screen real estate for your Web browsing, game playing, and general computing needs. It's like having a pair of monitors on your desk, but permanently bonded together, with no seam in between. It's a significantly larger screen than even the 4K-equipped Asus Zen AiO Pro Z240IC, on our our top picks. It has the power, the technology, and the wow factor to become our Editors' Choice for high-end all-in-one desktops.
Design and Features
The Envy Curved 34 looks like a prop from the rebooted Star Trek movies. It has a matte black front panel, a bright white rear panel, and its chrome, double-footed base gives the system a cantilevered appearance. Speaker grilles on the sides of the screen make the system look more like an HDTV than a PC. The components are built into the body of the display. There's plenty of room inside, as the system measures 36.58 by 18.37 by 6.63 inches (HWD), and weighs 29.8 pounds.
The chrome feet that support the screen have integrated hinges, which let you tilt the display backward or forward over a 25-degree range. The system comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse. They're simple, and quite usable, but the keyboard feels a little flimsy for such a high-price system, especially when compared with the Apple Magic Keyboard that comes with the latest Apple iMac 21.5-inch with 4K Retina Display and the Apple iMac 27-inch with 5K Retina Display.
