Browse the varied selection of all-in-one computers at Staples® to find a sleek and powerful desktop PC for your workspace. An all-in-one computer combines all the components of a tower PC with a flat screen monitor. This single unit has a smaller footprint and a more eye-catching design than a regular desktop computer.
Compared to a regular desktop PC, it is usually harder to upgrade the hardware components of an all-in-one computer. It is important then to pick a model with the hardware specs required for your computing needs. Key features to look for include processor, RAM, and storage. Entry-level all-in-one PCs use low-end Intel® and AMD chips. If you want a midrange work or family computer, choose a model with an Intel Core® i3 or i5 processor. High-end units usually have the more powerful Core i7 chip.
Look for a minimum RAM size of 4GB. If you regularly run resource-intensive applications, pick a unit with 8GB RAM. Higher RAM sizes can make your desktop computer run smoother if you play video games or use graphics-intensive programs. Computer storage media options include hard disk and solid state drives. Choosing an AIO with SSD (Solid-state drive) is a good idea because SSDs are quieter, more energy-efficient, more durable and have significantly faster loading times than HDD.
Since the monitor is not separable from the rest of the computer, it is important to pay attention to display quality when shopping for all-in-one PCs. Most of these desktop computers have displays measuring between 20 and 30 inches. You should pick one that is the right size for your work desk. Choose a unit with a widescreen monitor if you often work with spreadsheets, edit photos and videos, or play video games on your PC. The minimum resolution to look for in entry-level models is 1366 x 768 pixels. All-in-ones that have 20-inch screens or larger should have at least 1080p displays. Quad HD, 4K, and higher resolutions are available for high-end models equipped with dedicated graphics cards.
Recent versions of Windows® operating systems encourage touch-based interactions with apps and UI elements. This can make navigating the OS and working with programs easier especially if you sit close to your computer. Some all-in-one PCs also support pen input. This feature is most useful for digital artists.
Yes. While most examples of this class of desktop PCs run Windows or Mac® OS X®, there are models that have Google's Chrome OS installed. Referred to as Chromebase™, this type of all-in-one computer runs a lightweight operating system that emphasizes cloud-based apps. Choose it if you use your PC to browse the web, check emails, and work on documents.
Yes. All-in-one PCs usually use low-voltage processors like the ones found in laptops. These help reduce their overall power consumption without significantly impacting processing power.
