FULL STORY ======================================================================

Go minimalist with the best all-in-one computer. An AIO computer will help

By doing so, it also effectively reduces clutter, decreasing the number of devices on your desk as well as the number of cables behind it. Its adopting the idea behind laptops, except with a much bigger screen real estate that will help with productivity and multitasking.

The best all-in-one computers can also save you a bit of cash. By putting several individual devices and peripherals in one unit, it saves you from paying separately for different devices.

As with traditional computers, AIO computers also come in many shapes, sizes, quality and price. So, we found the best all-in-one computers of 2021 to make it easier for you to have a minimalist setup.

A formidable AIO CPU: 10th-generation Intel Core i5 i9 | Graphics: AMD
Radeon Pro 5300 - Radeon Pro 5700 XT | RAM: 8GB 128GB 2666MHz DDR4 |
Storage: 256GB 8TB SSD | Display: 27-inch (diagonal) 5120 x 2880 Retina 5K display Improved internals Can be configured to be very powerful Design is getting old Just two Thunderbolt ports

Even though the iMac 27-inchs last update was only last year, Apple couldnt help but step up in the upgrades department with its follow-up. Specs-wise, this model sports some massive improvements while also upgrading its webcam and microphones for a felicitous update. More people are working from home these days, and this seems like the best all-in-one PC to invest in without being forced to make some considerable space in your existing area. Sure, its overall design hasnt seen so much as a tweak, making it look a bit tired, but if power is at the top of your list, this ones an ace.

The best all-in-one computer for artists CPU: Intel Core i7 | Graphics:
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 - GTX 1070 | RAM: 16GB 32GB | Storage: 1TB - 2TB SSD | Display: 28-inch 4,500 x 3,000 PixelSense display Powerful Nothing like it Very expensive

Back when the original Surface Studio hit the streets, it was a game changer for artists and content creators alike. And, even in 2019, the sequel still stands in a league of its own. The Surface Studio 2 doesnt just feature the same gorgeous display and unique functionality, but it also ups the power significantly, making it a much more future-proof device. Its still extraordinarily expensive, but if your use case is right for the Surface Studio 2, then, its hard to think of a better all-in-one PC.

The best all-in-one computer from Apple CPU: 10-18 core Intel Xeon W | Graphics: AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 - Vega 64 | RAM: 32GB - 128GB | Storage: 1TB - 4TB SSD | Display: 27-inch 5K (5,120 x 2,880) Retina display
Extraordinarily powerful Beautiful Retina display Very expensive

The iMac Pro, more than any other computer on this list, is aimed squarely at professionals and it has the hardware to back it up. Packed with up to an 18-core Intel Xeon processor and up to 128GB of RAM, there isnt a single
thing you could throw at the iMac Pro to slow it down. And, while it is, without a doubt, outrageously expensive it doesnt really matter. If youre
the type of person that needs this level of power (you know who you are) then the price is absolutely justified.

A well-rounded jab at Apples ageing iMac CPU: Intel Core i5 Core i7 | Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 630; AMD Radeon RX 570 | RAM: 8GB 32GB |
Storage: 1TB HDD 2TB SSHD; 512GB SSD | Display: 27-inch 4K (3,840 x 2,160) display Handsome display Virtually unparalleled built-in sound Relatively expensive No HDMI in

The Dell XPS 27 AIO comes with this amazing articulating stand, and it comprises a mix of a massive 4K UHD resolution touchscreen with six ear-numbing speakers. Not only is it an attractive design, but its also top notch when it comes to power. Whether youre making your own beats or
listening to someone elses, watching movies or editing your own, the Dell XPS 27 AIO is easily one of the best all-in-one PCs, and should be at the top of your list when shopping for a new PC.

A spectacle in everyway CPU: Intel Core i5 - Core i7 | Graphics: Nvidia GTX 950M - AMD Radeon RX 460 | RAM: 8GB - 16GB | Storage: 1TB SSHD, 1TB - 2TB
HDD; 256GB SSD | Display: 34-inch WQHD (3,440 x 1,440) Enveloping ultra-wide display Full-bodied audio Privacy-minded pop-up web camera Exceptionally
bulky

Not to be shown up by the 5K iMac or new Dell XPS AIO, HP has its own unique take on the all-in-one desktop. Though it also has all its components stored in its base like the Surface Studio, the HP Envy Curved All-in-One also adds in a booming speaker bar. Add in the ultra-wide curved screen and this is one of the best and most immersive PC for enjoying movies. (Image credit: Future) 7. Lenovo Yoga A940

An iMac alternative CPU: 8th-generation Intel Core i7-8700 | Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 560 4 GB | RAM: 32 GB DDR4 2666 MHz | Storage: 1 TB 5400 RPM + 256 GB PCIe SSD | Display: 27" 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS Multi-touch Good price Stylus included Older components Screen not great in direct light

Lenovos latest all-in-one offering isnt as powerful as Apples premium AIO,
the iMac Pro, or even the recently updated iMac, which now offers a 9th-generation Intel Core configuration. After all, the 8th-generation chips and Radeon RX 560 graphics are aging at this point. However, it is still plenty powerful to meet the needs of creative professionals out there who are not entirely impressed by Apples pricey machines. On top of that, the Lenovo Yoga A940 has a few aces up its sleeves, including 100% Adobe RGB support and Dolby Vision, a set of Dolby Atmos speakers, a port offering thats more generous than Apples all-in-one, and a stylus included in the box.
