HP Omni 27 Quad All-In-One Review

Omni 27 Performance

I measured the power draw of the Omni 27 using a Kill-A-Watt consumption meter. At idle, the system draw averaged around 49 watts. I used Prime 95 and OCCT's PSU stress tool to generate a full load on the system which pulled 131 watts. Compared to the smaller TouchSmart 520, this system draws around 10-15 watts less at idle and nearly the same at full load.

This is impressive as the display on the Omni is larger and the processor is clocked 200MHz higher. We can thank Ivy Bridge for this. The system remained virtually silent throughout stress testing, with the cooling fan only spinning up slightly under full load.

Benchmarks Results

The iTunes encoding tests consist of converting 14 MP3s (119MB) to 128Kbps ACC files and measuring the operation's duration in seconds. For the file transfer test, we measure how long it takes to copy two sets of files from one location to another on the same hard drive. On the small files test we transfer 557 MP3s, totaling 2.56GB. For the large file, these same MP3s were zipped into a single file measuring 2.52GB.
