HP ENVY 32
From £1,400 (approx.), hp.comIt’s nice to have a powerful computer that can
do anything, but that doesn’t take up half your
room – hence the long success of Apple’s
iMacs. HP’s new all-in-one desktop machine is a
big (31.5-inch) and brilliant beast that delivers
vibrant 4K visuals at a contrast ratio of 6,000:1.
The first all-in-one to offer HDR at 600 nits of
brightness, the Envy 32 promises an immersive
experience, helped by a built-in, fabric-covered
soundbar that contains powerful Bang &
Olufsen speakers. With each of these machines
packing one of Intel’s latest 9th Gen processors
(up to the eight-core i7-9700), an Nvidia
GeForce graphics card (up to the RTX 2060)
and a generous amount of RAM (up to 32GB),
everything runs smoother than an otter’s back.
T3 SAYS: With stunning visuals and a wealth of
features, it’s hard not to be impressed by this
multimedia powerhouse.
CHARGEASAP FLASH
£230, chargeasap.comWe love the great outdoors, but it’s not so
much fun when you run out of phone battery
in the middle of nowhere, with no access to a
mains socket. Happily, Sydney-based tech
company Chargeasap is crowdfunding what it
describes as “the world’s most versatile power
bank”, a 20,000mAh/150W block that draws
upon Tesla’s revolutionary graphene composite
battery technology to deliver highly effective
charging capabilities. Weighing just 470g, the
Flash can replenish up to four devices at the
same time, and at speeds up to 10 times faster
than traditional power banks. It’s safer, too, as it
charges at low temperatures, meaning there’s
no chance of it catching fire while you’re asleep
in your tent. That has to be a bonus, right?T3 SAYS: Able to charge all your devices
simultaneously and in super-quick time, this is
an absolute must for people on the move.IMAGE^SOURCE:^ CHARGEASAPIMAGE^SOURCE:^ HP
