HP have just revealed two new, rather cool-looking, PCs, the HP Pavilion Wave and HP Elite Slice. Both computers are complete, fully functional PCs,designed for Windows 10and will be available for purchase this month.

The HP Pavilion Wave features two built-in dual microphones, which enable voice integration withWindows 10’s Cortana, and a 360 degree speaker on its top.According to Microsoft, it’s “built around a fully integrated, advanced audio system to play music, listen to movies and web chats” and can power up to two 4K displays.

Here are the HP Pavilion Wave’s features:

The HP Elite Slice is “the first modular commercial desktop with cable-less connectivity” and boasts a simplified design that allows for convenient customization of its hardware specs and features. Two of the modules that can be implemented are the Audio Module (which features the same dual microphones and speaker as the HP Pavilion Wave) and the ODD (Optical Disk Drive) Module.

Two covers are also available, the HP Collaboration Cover and the HP Wireless Charging Cover. The former essentially transforms the PC into a Microsoft Skype for Business phone while the latter turns the device into a wireless charging base for supported mobile phones. The HP Wireless Charging Cover won’t be available until 2017 however.

Here are the HP Elite Slice’s features:

HP is also offering a specially designed combination of HP Elite Slice modules called, HP Elite Slice for Meeting Rooms. This package contains the HP Elite Slice, the HP Collaboration Cover, HP Audio Module and the Intel Unite software. It is being specially marketed towards professionals searching for a convenient, yet high quality conference solution.
