The HP OmniStudio X stand can be adjusted vertically and tilted up and down.
The best ones have really nice screens that can be adjusted to give you the best viewing angles.
What results is a very clean, minimalist computer that can fit your various needs.
Here’s what I learned about this AIO.
The OmniStudio X comes with everything you need to get started.
This review was made possible thanks to a review unit provided by HP.
The company did not see the contents of this review before publishing.

The graphics card and RAM capacity is perfect for handling some gaming and creative workflows.
Like many AIOs today, the OmniStudio X 31.5" doesn’t require any tools to assemble.

From there, I simply placed the AIO on my desk and plugged in the included cables.
All in all, setup only took me five minutes or less.
I love how the stand can be adjusted vertically and the monitor can be tilted up and down.

This AIO isn’t shy on ports, either.
I had plenty of connections for my headset, speakers, ROG Ally docking station, and other devices.
However, the one you’ll use most often is MyHP.

Thanks to its minimalist design and clean interface, MyHP is very easy to navigate.
Overall, these additions can be nice, but they aren’t necessary for a good AIO experience.
Thanks to the 4K UHD resolution, everything looks really crisp and clear, too.

After running the color gamut test, I ran a brightness and contrast test.
But the good news is that this display should be easy to see in more brightly lit rooms.
Meanwhile, the 31.5-inch IPS display also has an excellent contrast ratio to help imagery stand out more.
On the back of this AIO, you’ll find a USB-C port, two USB-A ports, two HDMI ports, an RJ45 port, and a headphone jack.(Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)
Photoshop worked beautifully on the OmniStudio X.
However, intensive gaming is not ideal.
Next, I analyzed the SSD transfer speeds by running CrystalDiskMark sequential read tests.

The AIO got a respectable read speed of 6,684 MB/s and a write speed of 4,982 MB/s.
It won’t be blinding fast when loading or saving data, but it isn’t a slouch either.
Finally, I ran CrossMark to check the OmniStudio X 31.5" AIO’s overall system performance.

Just don’t expect it to amaze when running the latest graphically demanding games.
Near the end of this benchmark session, I whipped out my thermal camera and took readings.
Most importantly, the AIO isn’t hot to the touch anywhere.

The AIO didn’t get very loud, evidenced by the peak 35.8 dB reading I got.
While functional accessories, they aren’t the most comfortable options on the market.
Still, this mouse is responsive and navigates around easily enough.

All in all, the keyboard responds very quickly, and I never had issues with it cutting out.
It pops up and tucks away nicely as needed.
This not only helps reduce unnecessary power usage but keeps my files better protected.

It’s easy to multitask between two windows on the HP OmniStudio X.
Plus, it houses an Intel Core i5 or an i7 along with an integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics.
It sells for$925.00 at Amazon.

Smaller AIOs can be easier on your wallet, too.
