Having already covered the consumer-oriented all-in-ones now launched by HP, our gaze now turns towards those machines that are aimed at the business and enterprise sector.

The all-in-one PC somehow became a very common element of many households and businesses, the space efficiency and other benefits outweighing the higher price.

After Gigabyte provided a barebone based on Intel's mini-ITX standard, HP took up the task of further extending the worldwide collection of such systems.

Indeed, the company issued a press release where it mentions quite the number of new machines, both for the consumer and enterprise fields.

The former set we have already covered in this article, which leaves just the business and professional-oriented AiOs.

One of them bears the name of HP Pro 3420 and is intended for small businesses, where versatility is just as important as prowess.

With a diagonal of 20 inches, it relies on an Intel core i3 central processing unit, backed by up to 8 GB of RAM (random access memory) and HDD storage of 2 TB tops.

The HP ProtectTools security suite, which keeps information confidential and secure at all times, will likely play a part in securing consumer interest.

Another product is the TouchSmart Elite 7320, which has a 21.5-inch widescreen, LED backlights and relies on an Intel Core i3, Core i5 or Core i7 CPU. It packs everything in a sleek and modern design, as the company describes it.

HP's TouchSmart software suite is part of its asset list and the target fields are environments or businesses with virtual collaboration needs.

Thirdly, HP spoke of the previously-launched HP 8200 Elite, which runs on an Intel Core vPro processor and is built for enterprise, midmarket and public sector customers.

The TouchSmart Elite 7320 and Pro 3420 will start shipping on September 21 and in October, respectively, for $850 and $599.
