HP have announced new Windows 8 all-in-one PCs. The Spectre One is a 23.6 inch all in one with 1080p display, surprisingly Spectre One isn’t a touch screen PC given that Windows 8 is designed for touch but it does come with a multi-touch trackpad and lightweight keyboard (very iMac looking). It also has NFC built in for transferring data from a smartphone and is only 11.5 mm thick.
The other machine announced is the HP ENVY 23 TouchSmart which is an all in one with a 23 inch touch screen display. I have an older TouchSmart that works very well with Windows 8 so the new machine should be well with Windows 8.
The Spectre One starts at £1,199.99 and the ENVY 23 starts at £749.99

BRACKNELL, September 10, 2012 — HP today announced two new consumer all-in-one (AiO) PCs that feature the latest innovations in touch technology in a small footprint that offers users a simple, one-cord solution.

Users can scroll, swipe and tap their way through the new Windows® 8 environment.
As powerful as it is beautiful, the SpectreONE features the latest Intel processors, and an NVIDIA one gigabyte graphics card.
