HP unveiled its new Envy and Elite personal computers and accessories, which range from the world’s smallest business convertible to the widest curved all-in-one computer.

The Palo Alto, California-based computing giant is showing off a new lineup of premium laptops, desktops, and displays that are designed to blend work and leisure.

The latest HP Elite 1000 and HP Envy brands are targeted at the 81 percent of people who say they work during their personal time and multi-task with personal activities while at work. The devices are designed to straddle work and play environments, which means they are functional but stylish.

The company has five new products in its HP Elite 1000 series. These include the HP EliteBook x360 1030 G3, which HP says is the world’s smallest business convertible — it has a starting weight of 2.76 pounds and is just 15.8 millimeters thick, with up to 18 hours of battery life and 4G Cat9 LTE connectivity. It is available in June for a starting price of $1,450 and has optional HP Sure Recover with Embedded Reimaging, which stores the software system image in embedded memory. This enables recovery of data even if the hard drive is wiped and no network connection is available.

“HP’s undisputed design and engineering leadership is delivering the ultimate combination of style, performance, and versatility,” said Ron Coughlin, president of the Personal Systems group at HP, in a statement. “With the world’s smallest business convertible, the first detachable and tablet with an integrated privacy screen, the widest curved All-in-One, and other industry-leading innovations, our new Elite and Envy portfolios create unrivaled premium PC experiences.”

HP also unveiled a number of Envy models with the HP Command Center, which allows users to optimize a system’s performance, fan noise, and temperature with HP’s CoolSense technology. The Envy models include the HP Envy 13 laptop, with 8th Generation Intel quad-core processors, 14 hours of battery life, and a fingerprint reader. It comes in gold or silver (May, $1,000).
