The world’s first Alexa-enabled HP Pavilion PC is the best virtual assistant for students and power-users alike. With comparable features to a traditional desktop computer and the full functionality of an Amazon Echo Smart Speaker, you’ll get the best of both worlds.
As an HP Pavilion PC, you get:
- Intel Core i5-7400T Quad-Core 2.40GHz Processor
- 8 GB RAM DDR4-2400 SDRAM (upgradable to 32 GB)
- 1 TB ROM 7200RPM SATA and 256 GB SSD
- Windows 10
- HP Wireless keyboard & optical mouse
- 3 USB 3.0 ports
- 1 USB 3.1 Type-C port
- Display Port
- HDMI Out
- Ethernet port (10/100/1000 Base-T network)
- Wifi connectivity (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac)
- Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity
- HP 3-in-1 media card reader
With these features, you’ll be able to run almost any program needed for work and/or school. For power-users, the RAM is upgradable to 32 GB for audio/video editing, AutoCAD, graphic design, and more. The multiple USB ports allow you to connect an external hard drive in case the built-in 1TB hard drive isn’t enough storage space. With the HDMI Out and Display Port, you can easily hook it up to your existing 4k big-screen TV or take advantage of both at the same time for a dual-monitor setup. You can also easily attach any USB Webcam for online virtual classrooms, video conferencing, or a video chat with friends and family back home.
As an Amazon Alexa-Enabled Smart Speaker, you get:
- Alexa voice assistant with 15,000+ skills (and learning)
- Built-in top-mounted speaker for 360° omni-directional audio
- Integrated dual-mic setup for ultra-efficient speech recognition and noise reduction
- Full control of all Alexa-enabled smart-home devices like cameras, thermostats, lights, and more from anywhere
- Calling and messaging with other Amazon Echo devices
- Integrated Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, and more
- Hands-free access to weather, news, traffic, sports scores, and more
- Multi-room wireless Bluetooth audio with other Alexa-enabled smart speakers
All of these features come packed in a premium device with a high-quality fabric finish like that of the Amazon Echo (2nd Gen) smart speaker. We guarantee you’ll make some friends and classmates jealous. If you’re setting this up in a more public setting, like a dorm room or day room, the standard lock port allows for easy installation of a laptop cable lock for extra security against “sticky fingers.”
Alexa on-demand is the bread-and-butter of this powerful PC. With Alexa’s unique hands-free on-demand access, you can go from work to play with a simple voice command. Dictate your school reports, mark important dates on your calendar, DJ your parties on the weekends, binge on some Netflix, and more, without lifting a finger. It’s not mystery, why this PC/virtual assistant is our Best Back To School Device of the 2018-2019 school year.
