The best computers of 2023
A PC (personal computer) is a multifunctional device that modern people use for work, study, web surfing and entertainment.
Computers, first of all, differ in power and performance and are focused on specific tasks.
There are also different types of computers:
- Stationary (desktop) – a small PC that can be conveniently placed on the table;
- Monoblock – a PC in which the system unit and monitor are combined into one device;
- Tower is a computer with an elongated case that is placed under the table.
Our rating is divided into 4 relevant segments:
For working from home | This task does not require high power – a processor with a performance of no more than 2.6 GHz, a RAM capacity of at least 4 GB, and an SSD storage capacity of 256 GB are sufficient. Such a computer is suitable for working in simple applications (for example, Word), and with several programs open at the same time, the operating speed will be low, so it is better to pay attention to models with 8 GB of RAM; |
For design | The “heart” of such a computer is the video card. Among the popular models, it is worth paying attention to the GeForce models. Also equally important is a powerful processor and at least 8 GB of RAM; |
For games | Such computers must have the most powerful hardware. For modern games, you need to choose models with at least 16 GB of RAM, an Intel processor of at least i3 and NVIDIA graphics. Also important is a high-quality cooling system; |
Inexpensive computers | These PCs are suitable for simple tasks (surfing the Internet, working in text editors). They have minimal power and graphics settings. You can choose such a computer for studying or working on the Internet. |

Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 07ADA05
A computer from a well-known manufacturer with an AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor that allows you to perform all the necessary daily tasks (for example, searching for information on the Internet) and effectively work with several programs at the same time. The processor, combined with 8 GB of RAM and integrated AMD Radeon Graphics, provides high performance, making this model optimal for working from home.
With this computer you can not only perform office tasks, but also create projects in more complex programs. 1 TB of hard drive memory and 128 GB of SSD storage are enough to store many heavy documents and files. With Windows 10 Home already installed, you can get started right away. The computer differs from its competitors in its thinness and lightness, as well as its ergonomic design. Unfortunately, for complete convenience this model lacks wireless interfaces, and according to customer reviews, the PC is too heavy for its size (5 kg).

ASUS ExpertCenter D5
A computer designed for high-quality work from home. The manufacturer also positions it as a device intended for use in small businesses. ExpertCenter D5 Mini-Tower is equipped with a high-performance 10th generation Intel Core processor, 4 GB RAM and Intel UHD Graphics 610, which together provides good performance for working at home. It is worth considering that with such a volume of RAM, the computer will take a long time to launch programs and slow down while using them.
The PC has an ultra-thin form factor thanks to an improved and smaller cooling system. Thus, the device is compact, does not overheat and operates silently. The advantage of ASUS is its cooperation with leading developers of specialized software, which ensures maximum compatibility of computers with their products (Adobe, Autodesk).
The user can also independently expand the configuration for the necessary tasks, for example, by replacing the hard drive or optical drive, since the installed memory is not enough for many users. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not equip the model with wireless interfaces.

The Intel Pentium Gold processor ensures fast and smooth operation of the computer, and 4 GB of RAM combined with 256 GB of SSD storage allows you to store a large amount of data. However, 4 GB of RAM is not enough to simultaneously work with several applications or to run professional programs (for example, Photoshop) – the computer will work with freezes.
The installed NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 video card features low power consumption, good cooling and quiet operation. The PC has many different ports for connecting additional devices (LAN port, DVI output, HDMI, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0), a card reader, as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi wireless interfaces.

How to choose a computer
First of all, you need to decide on the purpose. The power of the computer and its cost depend on this. The most expensive ones are gaming models. They have the maximum equipment: a powerful processor, professional graphics and a multi-level cooling system. It is better to pay attention to components from Intel and NVIDIA, which have many lines for gamers of various levels. Many people also like the AMD Radeon processor, which has similar characteristics to Intel but is less expensive. Also, such devices are suitable for design, photo and video editing.
Inexpensive PCs with minimal parameters (memory capacity from 4 GB and components belonging to budget lines) are suitable for home use and everyday tasks. Pay attention to computers from well-known brands. Typically, such manufacturers choose the optimal combination of components for maximum performance.
Expert review of computers for home
Expert Yuri Semendyaev, director of 4geo LLC, shared his personal experience of using a computer :
“I am a PC user with an Intel i5 processor, 20 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD storage. I work with electronic Word documents, edit Excel tables with a large number of formulas in cells. I actively use the Internet to search for information and communicate. Basically, up to a hundred tabs of various sites are open in the browser, which can hang there for weeks. I use Ubuntu Linux because it relieves me of concerns about my data and the need to update antivirus software.”

Yuri Semendyaev, director of the search engine company 4geo LLC, answers popular questions from readers about the best computers .
How can you save money on buying a computer for your home?
You can also compare products in well-known marketplaces and online stores. Models with similar characteristics may differ radically from different sellers. If we are talking about computers, then it may turn out that there is a device on sale that has suitable characteristics, but only 4GB of RAM was installed in it at the factory. In this case, you can check on the manufacturer’s website whether there is a free slot for its expansion. As a rule, such an upgrade is provided. For example, you can install an additional 16 GB in such a PC, getting a total of 20 GB.
