This year my family had the chance to make some extra special Christmas memories with the help of HP Canada and it was a holiday to remember for sure! I was so excited to learn about all the great free printable crafts and home décor projects from Snapfish by HP, and printing them out with the HP Envy 5530 eAll-in-One Printer was a breeze. With the home decked out and ready for family fun, it was time to enjoy some bonding and family togetherness, and once again HP was ready to help!
My boys have a lot of family that live quite far away. In fact, their Dad’s entire side of the family lives in Quebec, which means they’ve only had the chance to spend time with their grandparents and some of their aunts and uncles in person once before. But in the modern age, that doesn’t mean they still can’t connect and talk! The boys have been using Skype to chat with their extended family for years now and this year our Skype sessions got a whole lot better when HP sent us the HP Envy Recline 23 TouchSmart All-In-One Desktop PC!
This beautiful all-in-one computer was a huge upgrade from my little laptop, which is what we usually used to chat with family. While I did have a desktop computer, I didn’t have a webcam for it so my laptop screen was the only option for connecting face-to-face. It worked, but sometimes the screen would be hard to see and my boys always ended up pushing to get in front of the camera and see what was happening.
The HP Envy Recline TouchSmart PC was the perfect device to change all that! The large 23” screen was big enough that there was plenty of room for both boys to sit together and chat with family, and the adjustable display stand meant that it was easy to tilt the screen to ensure both boys could see and and talk comfortably. Having such a great display screen was almost like being able to visit in person!
The HP Envy Recline 23 TouchSmart All-In-One Desktop PC has plenty of other fabulous features to make it a perfect choice for a family computer. I loved the all-in-one design that let me eliminate so many of the cords and devices from our work area, and the touchscreen and reclining feature let me quickly and easily switch from upright computer mode to tablet mode so that I could work in the way that was most comfortable to me at any given time. The large, full HD screen is perfect for watching movies and playing games, so both boys had a blast testing the computer out with Netflix and their favourite apps when winter break boredom set in!
The HP Envy Recline 23 is the perfect way to connect with family over the holidays now that the boys can chat with their grandparents, aunts and uncles without crowding around my little laptop. And with built-in Beats Audio, not only does it look like our family is right in the same room, it sounds like they are too. Connecting with family in faraway places has never been so easy.
This all-in-one desktop computer is such a great choice for a home computer and its versatility means that whether you’re using it for work or for play, it has all the features you want in one incredibly sleek and stylish package. Check it out and see how HP is making it possible for you to make more memories with your family even when some of them are far away! And don’t forget to enter to win an HP Slate 7 tablet so that you can connect with loved ones when you’re on the go!
