The best all-in-one PCs for home 2023

ASUS Zen AiO Z272SD

A premium model that intends to compete with the Apple company. First of all, the build quality attracts attention. They note that it is at its best. An interesting solution that has rarely been seen in all-in-one PCs before: all the ports for the power outlet, Internet and USB are placed in the stand on which the device rests. On other models, everything is stuck into the screen. It’s hard to say how justified this move by the designers of the Zen line is. Maybe this is convenient. A rarity for monoblocks: there is a DVD drive. However, few people need it in 2023. But the know-how is wireless charging. Yes, there is a charger built into the local cradle. So if your smartphone supports it, it will be a nice bonus.

DELL OptiPlex 7770

Another American corporation that has been practically invisible in Russia for the last couple of years. In stores you could find single devices that were purchased by fans of the company. We advise you to take a closer look at the new device. Although DELL is trying to position it as a solution for business, the all-in-one PC can justifiably be considered one of the best PCs for the home. There are many variations of the device. First of all, this is the processor, from the modest i3 to the monstrous i9. You can take a version with a cool video card and full RAM. Then graphic editors will “fly” and video production will work well.

ASUS Vivo AiO V241IC

Another leader in computer technology in 2023 took a place in the list of the best all-in-one PCs for the home. In this development, the company focuses on the average consumer. Sleek body and high-quality audio system. The development has received several awards at digital exhibitions. This is not a system for professional tasks and powerful games. You can conquer virtual worlds only with minimal requirements. The device is specifically for home or office. Objectively speaking, the candy bar is available in such configurations that the browser begins to freeze after ten open tabs. If you not only need a typewriter, but are also a fan of hanging out on social networks and watching movies, it makes sense to buy additional RAM.

HP 20-c401ur

This monoblock in 2023 copes well with office applications and has a medium diagonal. Not bulky, but rather compact, but still larger than laptops.

Reading, watching movies, using the browser. For other purposes it is absolutely not suitable. Its filling is simply not designed for this. For people who love design solutions, you should look at the candy bar in person. The device refers to space and futurism.

Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO A340-24

In the ranking of the best all-in-one PCs for the home is the handsome Lenovo. The Chinese company, which started out in the ultra-democratic technology segment, has learned to do things beautifully and with high quality. Just look at this elegant stand! This monoblock cannot boast of outstanding characteristics. At the same time, there are many variations of its filling. Let’s put it this way: from very leisurely to acceptable for comfortable work of an all-in-one PC at home and in the office.

HP 200 G3

Another Hewlett-Packard on the list of the best monoblocks for the home. This model is now one of the most popular on the market. Unlike its snow-white brother, it has a more modest design and slightly stronger characteristics. Although there is also a version with a light body. In reviews, users note pleasant bonuses: the webcam can be hidden in the case, the stable design and the ability to upgrade. The all-in-one can be easily disassembled, and for those who understand at least a little about the structure of a PC, it will not be a problem to “add” the RAM bar or replace the hard drive.

Lenovo V530-22

Once again a representative of a Chinese brand. According to online price aggregators, this monoblock for the home is in great demand among buyers. Although the company is positioning it primarily as an office option, stuffing the machine with data protection tools that you probably won’t even find if you use the system for home work. The monoblock is available in white and black colors. There are also premium versions with a powerful processor and other features. But the basic configuration is enough for the home.

Acer Aspire C24-865

It will work well with old games or games that are not very demanding in terms of performance. And you don’t have to worry about working with documents or surfing the Internet. The candy bar has a slightly angular design, but this cannot be considered a definite disadvantage – it depends on the taste and color, as they say. Available only in silver.

Main characteristics

Screen	1920×1080
CPU	i3-8130U, i5-8250U-8400T

How to choose a monoblock for your home

We asked the technical director of Life IT, a specialist in the field of computer equipment, networks and software, Sergei Shchetinin, for advice .

Why buy a monoblock

Many people want to optimize their personal space, both at home and at work. Therefore, the popularity of monoblocks increases every year: maximum screen size for convenience with minimal space taken up. All-in-one computers are convenient everywhere – at home, at work, in public places, but their maintenance and repairs are much more expensive than conventional computers.

The most popular, but not the most reliable

Sergey notes that in 2023 the largest range of all-in-one PCs will be presented by Lenovo. Among the best models for home and office are devices with Intel hardware. AMD’s main competitor may be inferior not only in price, but also in quality.

“For all their availability, they are quite reliable – if it were not for the use of technologies to deliberately reduce the service life of the device, they would not have a price. If the budget is very modest, you can take AMD – the device will last its warranty period. Platforms based on Intel chips also have not only advantages, but also disadvantages – an artificially reduced service life.

Is it possible to repair a monoblock

The most repairable all-in-one boards for home are Asus, Acer and iRu.

— The reliability margin of monoblocks from these manufacturers is not so large, but repairs and maintenance cost the consumer 1,000–5,000 rubles. Considering that iRu is a domestic manufacturer, I recommend monoblocks from this company among the budget options – they have been on the market for about 20 years and have always tried to maintain a price-quality balance.

The best all-in-one PCs for the home and beyond

The expert calls Apple and Dell the best in terms of reliability among all-in-one PCs for the home in 2023.

— The two American giants have been competitors among manufacturers of portable equipment for a long time. While Apple equipment speaks for itself, not everyone knows about Dell – it is the manufacturer of the most reliable budget-level equipment. Compared to their main opponent, they have successfully occupied their niche, although in the business segment they are also at their best, and have been for a long time.
