HP - OmniStudio 23.8" Full HD Touchscreen All-in-One w/ Adjustable Height - AMD Ryzen AI 5 - 16GB RAM - 512GB SSD - Copilot+ - Jet Black

This is really quite a great deal for an all-in-one computer that is nice enough in looks and performance to adorn the desks or study nooks of almost anyone. Asus has done a fantastic job here of creating a computer that will suit the needs of most all basic and casual computer users while skipping on some of the features that would add ridiculous costs to the price tag. This computer functions excellently as any above-entry level computer should in 2026 in my opinion. It is equipped with 16GB of soldered RAM which is as low on RAM as I think anyone should tolerate on their Windows PC in 2026, and the Snapdragon CPU is snappy and handles the basic productivity multitasking I have thrown at it including multiple browser tabs, Word documents, and background processes running at the same time. All the while, this computer is running nearly silently! Qualcomm processors in my experience seem to run more efficiently and take less noisy airflow to cool them than their Intel or Ryzen counterparts. Additionally, the use of the Qualcomm components in this PC rather than Windows or Ryzen is probably how they were able to keep costs so reasonable on this device. Asus made some bold decisions with this All-in-one. One of them was to decide to keep the screen itself thin and unobtrusive by sticking all the I/O and ports on the tower instead, along with the internals of the computer itself with both speaker and fan noise coming out of the stand of the computer. This is a cool choice that is part of how this has such nice lines and aesthetics, but it does limit some of your optionality: this stand has tilt but no height adjustment, and because the computer IS the stand, you will not be detaching the screen and attaching it to, say, a monitor mount. Your best bet is to use desktop risers if you need to increase the height and adjust the angle up or down as needed. The screen itself is beautiful and at 1080p resolution with 75hz refresh, a 24” screen like this feels plenty smooth and detailed enough to use. The touchscreen ability is an excellent “touch” (pun-intended) and it just further increases the diverse use cases for this computer. The screen also gets plenty bright, for even my sunlit office in the afternoon and the anti-glare works super well. I also noticed that the viewing angles are great to where I can be standing at an almost complete bladed angle to the screen and have perfect clarity of the image or text on the screen. The peripherals leave something to be desired. I was surprised to find that while the all-in-one computer itself is a nice modern pure white color, the peripherals are actually more off-white eggshell colored, closely akin to the 90’s computers of old with their grayish-white accessories. I wouldn’t say that this is too bad of a color match, but the mouse and the keyboard themselves are also just not the greatest quality I would have hoped for. The mouse is quite small to my medium sized male hands and just doesn’t slide around the best on my mouse pad. The keyboard is actually quite pleasant to type on, but it has only one setting for angle with a built-in hump on the back and this angle isn’t my favorite for my cranky wrists. Of course, at this price, Asus like other manufacturers, probably wager that if you are the type of computer user to really care about peripherals, you will likely go buy or already own peripherals that suit your needs rather than using these included accessories. A redeeming quality that I will mention then is that both the mouse and the keyboard connect to a single USB-A dongle that is extremely low profile and plug in nicely to one of the multiple included USB-A ports on the stand. Altogether, maybe budget for some different accessories if you want them, but this entire review has been written on this PC with its included keyboard, for what its worth and I did not suffer from any serious fatigue or problems compared to some keyboards I have used. The webcam, while equipped with Windows Hello (Facial recognition) login abilities, is lacking overall in quality. I used webcam test and found that the resolution of the camera is pixelated and blurry. It is serviceable, but not the best for certain. Privacy was kept in mind though. A white indicator light turns on when the webcam is operating and there is also a physical privacy shutter built in for rigorous privacy needs. I can also appreciate that rather than doing a little webcam (hump) at the top of the screen as some all-in-one makers have done, Asus just elected to make the entire top bezel of the screen raised to be in line with the webcam which is a nice touch. The audio from this computer is a little lackluster. With the sound originating out of two tiny 3W speakers out of vents at the bottom of the narrow tower facing the user, it feels almost more like mono rather than stereo sound. Asus can say they got Dolby Atmos certification as much as they like, but the proof is in the pudding, or rather, the end-users’ auditory canals. Bass is almost completely lacking and at higher volumes, I experienced some distinct rattling noise from the speakers. This is following driver and software updates so there is nothing to blame there. Altogether, if I could, I would give this computer 4.5 stars. I am going to give it 5 stars based on the Best Buy rating system, and here is why. The complaints and concerns I expressed are very likely not going to concern or affect 99% of buyers looking for an All-in-one desktop like this. Peripherals, audio, etc. are not the concerns of someone just looking for a great computer where they can browse the web, send emails, and maybe edit some PowerPoint presentations or type some documents or edit spreadsheets. The aspects I am most concerned about with the computer are honestly subjective and don’t affect the actual use of the computer. What really matters that I must emphasize with wrapping up this review is that this computer functions smoothly and provides EXACTLY the user experience it advertises. With all of that said, at this price tag, I would definitely say you should pick up this computer and give it a place in your home for your computing needs!

This all-in-one desktop PC is really great! The 23.8” touchscreen is the ideal – not too wide and not too small – with quality FHD resolution of 1920x1080. The compact design of the HP OmniStudio All-in-One means it doesn’t take up a lot of space on my desk and that it’s easily movable if I want it somewhere else. Setting it up was super simple. Just attach the base to the monitor, put the batteries into the mouse and keyboard and insert the wireless dongle for them into one of the USB ports, plug in the PC’s power cord and waa-lah! It's ready to power up and get going. And surprisingly, the software updates that are typical for anything running Microsoft software went very quickly. The AMD Ryzen AI 5 processor performs flawlessly with a speed that makes opening browser pages, emailing, running production software, video meetings, and even some video gaming a breeze. And the AMD Radeon graphics chip, though not top of the line, provides bright clear, crisp colors and deep blacks well enough for my computing and video conferencing needs. The anti-glare along with the adjustable height stand helps make viewing even more comfortable on the eyes. Now, there are a couple of minor things that HP could improve upon. One is related to the packaging box the PC comes in. The wireless dongle needs to be packed differently as it is very easily overlooked when unpacking the unit. There is a spot inside the mouse’s battery door where it can be stored so why it was not put there is very strange. And for the price point of this PC, I expected a much better-quality keyboard and mouse than the very cheap plastic ones included with it. Overall, with 16GM of RAM, 512GB of storage, 3 USB-A, 2 USB-C and HDMI ports, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi 7, the OmniStudio Touchscreen All-in-One PC performs like a champ and is a solid choice.

I love my new computer. I love the graphics and how easy is to use.

The HP OmniStudio 23.8" is the kind of computer I generally avoid. As an all-in-one it straddles the line of more than a laptop and not really a full desktop. That said, all-in-ones do have their use cases. First, they are great when space is limited. After all, that is the primary win is that they are compact with minimal footprint. The 23.8" screen IS the computer so all one needs is a place to put the screen (and the mouse and keyboard). Second, the screen on this all-in-one is bigger than any laptop screen around. This makes it ideal as a 'family' computer or for people with sight issues. I am using this machine to cover all of those cases. I unboxed the machine and placed it at the end of my kitchen counter where I have some stools. It is open and available for everyone in the house to use and I setup each person with their own account so people are not stepping on each other's toes in use. The machine comes equipped with a Ryzen AI 5 430 processor and 16GB of RAM. Now, this isn't a machine to run the latest AI model on or do any real AAA gaming on, but for general use it is quick and gets the job done. In this house, the kids use it for some light gaming (mostly Roblox and Minecraft), web browsing, and school work. This is where the machine excels. The 23.8" Full HD display is bright with good color and also acts as a touchscreen. I was a little concerned that a 1080p display at 23.8" might not look very sharp, but in practice it looks great and no one has complained about it not being higher resolution. The back of the unit has several USB-A and one C port along with HDMI if you want to add a second monitor (a nice touch I might add). The unit also has the latest WiFi 7 and a gigabit ethernet port if you want to wire in for the most stability. I use the machine on WiFi 7 and it has worked great on my Ubiquiti network so I haven't found a need to wire it up. My only real gripe is the 512GB of internal storage. I realize we are in a storage apocalypse right now thanks to data centers gobbling up everything being made, but 512GB for more than just a couple users is a tad light. As this computer has the 'family' vibe it can be quickly filled up with photos and games. I wish HP had gone to 1TB at this price. The other benefit of an all-in-one is that the speakers and webcam are built into the monitor so it really is feature complete for work or play. I tested Microsoft Teams on the machine and it seems to work great. The speakers were clear and the camera got the job done. The microphone also was pretty clear according to the group I was speaking to at the time. No one asked me to speak up or complained of not being able to understand me. Overall, the HP OmniStudio is a solid all-in-one computer that is well built and fast. I feel like it has a very specific use case, but I can see how it could be popular in a home for adults and kids alike. If you need more than a laptop, but are tight on real estate this one is an easy recommend.

Great computer. I initially paid $1309 for it from Best Buy. Six days later I saw that Best Buy had it on sale for $240 less. I contacted BB and they refunded me $240. What a deal.
