On Thursday, HP introduced a new 34-inch All-in-One Desktop with hardware and software designed to help users create, record, and share studio-quality video. The new device supports capabilities like dual video streaming and camera switching, allowing you to show yourself and your work at the same time.
“We’re spending a lot of time on video calls, and we’re all creating content to share remotely in person and with co-location groups,” said Gretchen Irion, machine product management manager HP’s commercial and educational desktops, said in a presentation. “But just as we do, these remote interactions have become part of your personal brand and part of your company’s brand.”
It comes with a removable 16MP (4MP Binned) magnetic camera, which you can move around the bezel to find the best field of view. For example, you can point it toward your desk to share notes or documents. Users have the option of adding a second detachable camera to support dual video streams and camera switching.
In terms of software, the PC’s new HP Keystone Correction automatically crops and flattens the camera feed image. This will give you sharper digital images of your pages or whiteboards, for improved real-time shareability.
There’s also a new HP Be Right Back feature that lets you change your video feed into a static feature, allowing you to take a break during a video call.

The 34-inch diagonal 5K display offers a 21:9 aspect ratio, while the HP Eye Ease low blue light panel reduces blue light wave exposure. It features 12th Gen Intel processors and Nvidia GeForce RTX graphics, as well as upgradable memory and storage up to 128GB DDR5.
HP also announced an expansion of its Dragonfly ultralight 2-in-1 convertible laptop portfolio. The new HP Dragonfly Folio G3 comes with the HP Dragonfly Folio Pen “smart ink”, which attaches magnetically to the device, has three programmable buttons, and can charge up to 100% wirelessly in 30 minutes. With HP Indirect Inking, users can draw on the Dragonfly Folio’s screen and have it appear on the connected secondary display.
The Folio G3 also has an 8MP camera, as well as HP Auto Frame for video calls. Additionally, HP Dynamic Volce Leveling automatically adjusts the volume of your voice to maintain consistency, whether you’re near or far from the microphone. The device also features Al-based noise cancellation.
Meanwhile, the new HP Z32k G3 4K USB-C Display is the world’s first IPS Black display with Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. And the new HP 965 4K Streaming Webcam comes with features like autofocus and AI face focus.
