It doesn’t take up much room, offering a built-in wireless charging station and excellent speakers.
However, it is a bit expensive and doesn’t offer the best rendering abilities.

Shortly after opening the box, I found that this AIO requires no tools to assemble it.
This trend is growing among computer and display manufacturers, but it isn’t always the case.
One thing that I can always say about HP products is that they always look really professional.

It can also be used with other Qi-compatible devices.
I expected these to each provide unique results when running a colorimeter test.
After running the color gamut test, I checked the EliteOne 870 G9 display’s contrast and brightness capabilities.
The HP EliteOne 870 G9 offers two USB-C ports, five USB-A ports, an ethernet port, an HDMI port, a DisplayPort, and a headphone jack (not all featured here).
The display’s contrast measured its best at 780:1, which is rather low and not all that impressive.
While she was around, I opted to openWindows 11settings and turn off the touchscreen.
All in all, it’s a great display that’s perfect for home or office use.
The HP EliteOne 870 G9 display produced 100% of sRGB, 80% of Adobe RGB, and 85% of P3 in our colorimeter testing.
However, don’t expect it to be a good choice for gaming or 3D rendering software.
However, it struggled with more demanding tasks like rendering 3D models in Photoshop.
That makes sense since this only has Intel UHD Graphics 730 and not a beefier NVIDIA RTX discrete GPU.

For the most part, it performed exactly as I expected.
This puts it at the same performance as anHP Dragonfly Pro laptop.
On the other hand, this is a business-class AIO for office use, so all this makes sense.

In fact, I’m typing this review up right now on the wired keyboard.
The base keyboard and mouse are admirably functional, but nothing is exciting about them.
That helps keep their costs down, though.

I throw in a lot, but not that much.
you might opt for a wireless mouse and keyboard combo if you want to pay more.
This removes unsightly cables and frees up two USB-A ports for you to use with other PC accessories.

It’s a bulky block that distracts from the EliteOne 870 G9’s otherwise beautiful design.
It offers a decent amount of resistance when I venture to move it.
Despite this, the webcam does a phenomenal job showing me crisply and with good coloring during work meetings.
On a different note, I was absolutely impressed with the built-in Bang & Olufsen speakers this AIO has.
These are located just below the display and take up the entire lower section.
Moreover, they produced well-balanced bass and higher tones to keep up with my music-listening or video-watching desires.

Like the HP EliteOne 870, the base doubles as a wireless charging station.
Now, for those looking for serious GPU performance, there is an impressive AIO to choose from.
And that was the older model.

The 27-inch screen is perfect for multitasking between two windows, making it great for busy people.
Even the CPU is somewhat under our expectations.
In that case, the HP EliteOne 870 G9 is an excellent AIO to consider.

Now, a couple of things might give some buyers pause.
