HP has launched two new 23-inch PCs in its all-in-one desktop product line. One is Envy 23 and another is Pavilion 23. HP might want to extend its Envy line to a desktop, because the company has released Envy 23 instead of 27-inch Omni all-in-one. It is known that HP has been inspired by 27-inch Omni to extend the usually well-considered Envy moniker. Envy 23 has a Ivy Bridge or AMD trinity processors, a 23-inch 1080p screen, up to 2TB HDD, a Blu-ray drive and a TV tuner etc.
