HP Inc debuted the HP Pavilion Wave (designed for home use) and the HP Elite Slice (designed for the workplace).
HP Inc today debuted two new PCs -- HP Pavilion Wave and HP Elite Slice -- that are designed for home and the workplace.
HP Pavilion Wave (for Home)
The HP Pavilion Wave sits on top of the desk featuring a 360-degree design that is 85 percent smaller than traditional tower PCs at 6.81” x 6.62” x 10.29”. The desktop design is built around the central audio system and finished with an acoustic fabric which engineered for room filling sound. A parabolic reflector on top of the PC reflects the sound coming from the speaker grille in parallel from all directions and acts as an outlet vent for hot air to come out. It comes with a 360 Degree Multi-Directional Reflective Audio that is tuned by B&O Play.
The triangular design houses three main zones for components: the motherboard on one side, the hard drive on the second side and thermals on the third side. The thermal design uses heat pipes to extract heat from the motherboard and the graphics card to push out the top of the PC to keep the device running cool.
Other features include:
- Peripheral support with three USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.1 Type-C port for data transfer, one HDMI port, one DisplayPort, Gigabit Ethernet and a microphone/headphone jack.
- Built-in speakers and microphone to listen to your music, use Cortana and do skype calls.
- High-performing power house with up to 6th Generation Intel Core i7 quad-core desktop processors, ample storage up to 1TB SDD5 or a 2TB HDD5, an optional 128GB SSD5 and up to 16GB of DDR4 system memory.
- Optional AMD Radeon R9 M470 discrete graphics for photo and video editing or light gaming.
HP Elite Slice (for Business)
Its modular design features curves in matte black with polished copper accents. It allows customers to pick and choose a factory cover or stackable options to add functionality including the Collaboration Cover or Wireless Charging Cover, or stackable modules such as the Audio Module or ODD (Optical Disk Drive) Module for a beautiful PC that is unique to each business and its employees.
Its dimensions are 6.5” x 1.38” x 6.5” and weighs 2.31 lbs. The cable-less design allows for a clean work environment because customers do not separate cables plugged into the wall to power each component. This is the first commercial desktop powered from a display via only one USB 3.1 Type-CTM cable with a Type-CTM compatible display including the optional new Quad HD9 HP EliteDisplay S240uj Monitor. The display is equipped with integrated wireless charging and USB Type-CTM.
HP Elite Slice cover and base expansion options include:
- HP Collaboration Cover: turns the desktop into a Microsoft Skype for Business phone for easy call management with capacitive touch keys.

Other features include:
