The HP Pavilion Wave merges the desktop PC with a tuned speaker design, creating a communication and entertainment hub for your home.

Front

The HP Pavilion Wave is built to be the entertainment nexus for your home.

Profile

The Pavilion Wave is shaped like a vertically oriented triangular tube.

Face

Dark gray acoustic fabric covers the side panels for a good reason: They're meant to evoke the look of high-end audio equipment.

Right

Sound from the built-in speaker is clear and can fill a medium-size room easily.

Back

The back panel is the vertex of the triangle, and features a DisplayPort connector, an Ethernet port, an HDMI jack, a Kensington lock port, a Power jack for the AC adapter, a SD card reader, a USB-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, and the system's Power button.
