Dell All in One Desktop Computers

Declutter your work desk by upgrading your desktop PC to one of the Dell™ all-in-one computers available at Staples®. An all-in-one computer combines a desktop monitor with the hardware components of a PC tower. This space-saving design produces a unit that is sleek, more attractive and consumes less power than a regular desktop computer.

Enjoy the Brilliant HD Displays on Dell All-in-One Computers
Since you cannot upgrade the monitor on an all-in-one computer, it is important to consider the size and resolution of the unit you want even as you are evaluating the performance of its CPU. Dell offers these desktop PCs in different sizes with most of them having displays between 19.5 and 23.8 inches. Models with screen sizes below 20 inches are ideal for use as home or personal computers. Bigger units offer more screen estate for enjoying movies, working on spreadsheets, and editing photos and videos. Regardless of size, the minimum display resolution to look for in an all-in-one desktop is 1366 x 768 pixels. Choose a model with a Full HD or 1080p resolution for sharper images.

Choose From Multiple Hardware Configurations of Dell All-in-One Computers
Dell builds its all-in-one PCs in varying configurations to suit the needs of different types of computer users. Since these desktop computers a have thin chassis, they usually use soldered non-replaceable hardware components. This means you should pick a model with a configuration that satisfies your current and near-future computing needs. Dell uses a variety of Intel® and AMD processors for its all-in-one PCs. Entry-level models run on Intel Celeron® and Pentium® chips as well as AMD E-Series processors. Midrange and high-end units have Intel Core™ and AMD A-Series processors.

Two other key hardware features to consider are RAM and storage sizes. Look for a minimum of 4GB RAM for an all-in-one computer. Dell offers these desktop PCs with up to 8GB RAM and equips them with hard disk drives with capacities between 500GB and 1TB. If you want a faster storage option, choose a model that stores files on a solid state drive. These are also typically quieter and more power efficient than traditional hard disk drives.

Should You Consider Dell All-in-One Computers With Discrete Graphics Cards?
A discrete graphics card will improve the graphics performance of an all-in-one PC by boosting the level of detail in displayed images. You should get a model with a dedicated GPU if you plan on playing video games or running graphics-intensive applications on it. Dell usually equips its all-in-one computers with AMD Radeon™ graphics cards.

Do All Dell All-in-One Computers Have Touchscreen Displays?
No. Touch displays are only available on select models. A screen that supports multi-touch inputs encourages users to directly interact with apps and UI elements. You should get a model with this feature if you sit close enough to your computer to use touch gestures like tap and pinch-to-zoom.

What Operating Systems Do Dell All-in-One Computers Use?
Most of the brand's desktop PCs in this category run Windows® operating systems. A few of them have Linux™ distros installed for those looking for a non-Windows option.
