HP is coming with a tiny and great desktop device. The new HP Elite Slice is similar to the Mac Mini, another great option on the market.
These days, smartphones are great at tons of things. But one thing we have to admit, these device are not designed for conference calls.
Stunning compact design and amazing engineering – HP Elite Slice reinvents what it means to be a desktop. |
This fact is admitted by several people who are using smartphones to dial in from home. The laptop is another comfortable way to use when people are home.
In purpose to make a conference call from a laptop, people will need to use a headset, which is not really good, because it can’t filter out the noise in the background. The new HP Elite Slice comes with a solution to this problem.
This new desktop PC is designed to be a conference room or worker-bee system. The new HP Elite Slice comes with the best solution for home-base workers.
At first sight, the new HP Elite Slice offers two things that people will notice first: an attractive design, and options that equip it for doubly-duty as a conference phone. To be added that this new device is smaller than the Mac Mini.
People will also have optional add-on choices, for example an Audio Module with Bang and Olufsen speakers that get really loud, and a Collaboration Cover. This last feature has the ability to give the conference call a touch of controls and more powerful noise-canceling microphone.
Other options that people can choose from are an optical drive (ODD) and a VESA-compatible mounting plate.

These modules will connect to the new HP Elite Slice via internal USB-C. People should know that these modules are easy to snap on and off. Another great thing is that this new PC’s chassis comes with a fingerprint sensor.
Customers who are looking for a decent laptop to use for checking emails and an application or two, should know that the base configuration could be just perfect for them. Unfortunately, customers will not be able to customize their meeting-room model.
So, the first and least-powerful configuration comes packed with a Core i3, 500GB disk drive, Windows Home and is accompanied by 4GB of memory. This base configuration will be available at the price of 640 dollars.
On the other side, there is another configuration, one much more powerful, which is packed with a Core i7, 32GB of RAM, 512GB SSDs, and all the Cover options. Customers will be able to buy this configuration at the price of 1.900 dollars.
A good thing is that people will be able to choose the operating system they prefer using. This means that they can downgrade to Windows 7 Professional or even opt for FreeDOS to run legacy software.
The new HP Elite Slice is not quite bad. This meeting-room device comes with a power button, Ethernet jack, charger connection, two USB-A connectors, USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort for connection to a display. Moreover, on the side, users will find a Thunderbolt-compatible USB-C connector and a headphone jack.
