Next month HP will split into two companies; one focusing on the enterprise and one on PCs and printers. 

Yesterday the company, which will be known as HP Inc., invited journalists from around the world to Barcelona to view their latest offerings. During the event the company introduced a new range of Envy, Spectre and Stream devices. 

Speaking at the launch Ron Coughlin, ‎Senior Vice President and General Manager of Consumer PC's, services and solutions at HP explained how the "innovation engine is running once again" at the company and that really does seem to be the case.

One of the most eye catching products from the new line up is the Envy Curved All-in-One PC: a Windows 10 machine built into a curved and extremely wide 34-inch display. 

The idea is that it provides an utterly immersive experience for the user. The large screen means multiple windows can be open at once and the user can see it all thanks to the curved screen. Internally the device can have either an Intel Core i5 or i7 Skylake processor, integrated graphics or an Nvidia GTX 960A graphics card, 8GB or 16GB of memory, and either an SSD, an HDD, or both. All options include six speakers and an Intel RealSense camera.

This is another of the eye-catching new releases from HP. This is the HP Envy 8 Note.

This device gives the user an 8-inch tablet, running Windows 10 but with a 10-inch keyboard. The team behind the design explained that typing on an 8-inch keyboard isn't comfortable or practical, so they started with a 10-inch keyboard and made the technology work from there.

The tablet device slides into the back of the keyboard for storage - meaning the user only ever has to carry one device. It's an incredibly clever design.  

This device will be available from November and pricing will start from €499.
