My all-time favorite All-in-One PC is STILL cheaper than ever as Prime Day ends, and it's the most adorable portable desktop

I've always built my own desktop PCs, but that's mostly because I never have to share my computer with anyone else. For a family computer to be genuinely helpful, it has to be flexible and adapt to whatever space it can, but laptops don't always fit the bill. Luckily, HP has one of the coolest, most adorable, and incredibly clever portable All-in-One solutions with its Envy Move, down to $679.99 at HP's official store during Prime Day.

I'll never stop recommending this AIO PC

HP managed something pretty spectacular when it sent over a sample for my Envy Move review and had me praising what is otherwise a collection of mid-range computer components. The difference is that they're all housed in a beautifully realized all-in-one (AIO) PC chassis with a fantastic touchscreen and speakers that were "without exaggeration, some of the best I've ever heard in person. "

So, wait, is this thing a desktop or a touchscreen laptop? It's somewhere in between, and there isn't anything else like it, which is impressive considering it only took a built-in carry handle and pop-out feet to give it that status.

With the included keyboard/touchpad combo, which stores away into a stretch kangaroo-esque pouch in the rear, the Envy Move behaves much like any desktop PC, except with a clever 'adaptive audio' function that adjusts the volume based on the user's distance.

However, the kicker is the built-in battery, which lasted just over 4.5 hours in my testing and really opens up the flexibility of the Envy Move. Need to do your homework at the kitchen table? Carry it over and play some music while you're there. No sweat.

HP's Envy Move genuinely is one of the most brilliant and useful PCs I've ever used, and I'm itching for more families to get their hands on it and understand its appeal. Don't miss this chance to pick it up at a bargain price; you won't regret it.

Can the HP Envy Move play games?

It's more of a "no, but" answer than anything else because the Envy Move relies on Intel Iris Xe Graphics, better suited to web browsing and simple graphical tasks than games. However, HP includes a free Xbox Game Pass Ultimate trial out of the box, giving you access to Xbox Cloud Gaming, which works perfectly well by streaming games from the Internet, thanks to the high-speed Wi-Fi 6 support. Of course, you'll need an appropriately speedy ISP, but the requirements aren't too strict.

When does Prime Day end?

Amazon's Prime Day 2024 sale event is now over. Sort of. It ran between July 16 and 17 and ended at 11:59 PM PT. If you're on the East Coast, it technically ended on July 18 at 3 AM ET. It was a two-day affair, despite the singular "day" in its name, and led to competitive pricing from its most prominent rivals, including first-party storefronts like HP, which continue past Amazon's sale.

While there were plenty of lowest-ever prices offered up with exclusive deals at Amazon, the back-and-forth deal-matching habits at HP's deal page only created more benefits for shoppers.

If you're already an Amazon Prime member, it can be easier to take advantage of next-day shipping on most products. A free 30-day trial is also open to those who have never signed up before, but Newegg offers free delivery without extra fees.
