![]() The result is a nice, sharp picture that stands up to close scrutiny. It also cooperates with 1080p much more readily than a larger alternative. Okay, so a 23-inch display isn’t going to turn heads these days, but it’s large enough for most home users. Neither was a Wireless-N adapter, something we think should be standard. HP lists a TV Tuner and HDMI Input as available options, but they were not on our review unit. Around back, there are four more USB 2.0 ports and D-Sub. They’re joined by headphone and microphone jacks and a card reader. Users will find two USB 3.0 ports along the left flank. One nice extra is an indent along the top rear edge of the PC that can serve as a handle, making it easier to move. The HP Envy 23 is thin and the back panel curves to create the illusion that it’s thinner still. Only the glossy coat placed over it spans the entire computer.Īround back there’s not much to mention. The display panel is surrounded by a large bezel. HP calls this an edge-to-edge display, which is a bit deceptive. It’s not bad looking, but some new designs from competitors have robbed it of luster.Ībove the stand is the soundbar, adorned with a chrome HP logo, followed by a mass of glossy material. This creates the pivot point, allowing for limited adjustment forward and back. The base consists of a large hunk of gunmetal plastic, which is run through by a metal bar that then curves upwards to hold the display. The HP Envy 23 uses the exact same design language that is found on some other TouchSmart, Pavilion, and Omni all-in-one products. Whatever Envy stands for, it certainly does not represent unusual, outrageous, or unique design.
