Amazon’s Alexa has been showing up everywhere, so it only makes sense that the digital assistant would eventually get built into PCs. One of the first to feature Alexa is HP’s new 34-inch curved all-in-one, which has a large base with a speaker on the front and a glowing blue light that turns on when you activate Amazon’s smart assistant.

The updated Envy Curved AiO is largely the same as the redesigned model that HP released last year. The specs are updated, it now features a fake wooden texture — which looks somewhere between fine and ‘possibly even nice but who knows because I saw it in a hotel meeting room with dim lighting’ — and that’s about it. But the lack of change is fine: it’s a great design, it has a loud speaker with a neat-looking ring for adjusting the volume, a built-in wireless phone charger, and I love that the webcam is hidden until you pop it up. Plus, there’s a huge screen that literally starts to surround you.
