Best All-in-One PCs in the UK

Though Apple iMac is technically an all-in-one desktop PC, we all know the product's line is very different compared to most AIO rigs. Of course, the price reflects that too. This setup is pretty expensive compared to most AIO PCs. The price makes more than enough sense though, even considering that you're still paying some for the biggest brand in the tech world.

First things first, all-in-one PCs are unable to run modern games more often than not. That's not the case here. The new-and-improved Apple iMac can run them all. Sure, you shouldn't be expecting 100+ fps at ultra-high settings, especially considering the screen's native 4K Ultra HD resolution.

Having said that, you'll be able to play pretty much any triple-A titles. Featuring the Radeon Pro 560X GPU, the device will let you comfortably run the latest biggest titles at medium/high settings@~60fps. You'll be able to play less demanding games like Fortnite and League of Legends at the highest graphics settings.

Of course, Apple products always look good, iMacs always look good too, so the product's sleek profile comes as no surprise. We've seen thinner bezels before and the chin's somewhat tall. Nevertheless, the PC still looks as elegant and streamlined as Apple products come. The curved back allows the screen to blend with the surroundings, all whilst elevating/enriching the living space.

Idea Centre is an excellent name, pretty much telling you everything you need to know about the latest Lenovo IdeaCentre A340-24IWL AIO Desktop PC. Of course, we'll gladly elaborate because the description's still somewhat vague.

First, the stand and the base look interesting, to say the least. Sure, we wouldn't necessarily call the setup elegant but we're more than willing to go with creative, inventive, and space-saving.

The screen basically has no borders, except for the chin and the top frame, which is brilliant for enjoying different shows, streaming various media content, jotting down all kinds of ideas, and/or simply scrolling through websites with remarkable aesthetics and convenience.

When you connect the smartphone, backup drive(s), and different peripherals to the PC, the setup starts to look cluttered, messy, and unappealing. That's not the case with this all-in-one desktop PC though. The cable collector built into the screen's stand lets you have the most organized, clutter-free desk.

Next to that collector, you'll find every necessary port in the book, including an HDMI output to connect any second screen, two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 port for various devices/gadgets/peripherals, and even this 3-in-1 card reader that will let you access different cards.

The aforementioned top frame features this more or less standard webcam. The difference here is the company's TrueBlock Privacy Shutter. Simple yet elegant, this shutter covers the camera, making sure that you've complete and absolute privacy when necessary.

For the most part, the Lenovo V410z presents a fairly balanced build. It definitely has its flaws but the advantages of this AIO computer far outweigh its shortcomings. The said advantages start with the hardware. The biggest and probably the most expensive part of this product (along with the monitor) is its processor.

Equipped with an Intel® Core™ i5-7400T CPU, the model is great for multitasking and will let you juggle a variety of demanding applications. The processor features 6 megabytes of cache and a 2.4GHz frequency that you can get to 3.0GHz with Turbo Boost. Add to that 4 gigabytes of DDR4 SDRAM with an insane 2400 MHz clock speed and you have all the computing power you need for tackling just about any non-gaming related task.

Of course, some things here aren't that impressive nor are they always necessary. We definitely like the addition of a DVD burner but, truth be told, a modern computer can do without it. The 7200 RPM 500 GB hard disk drive is just what you'd expect from an all-in-one desktop computer like that, nothing more and nothing less.

HDDs don't really go higher than 7200 revolutions per minute, so you get a decent transfer speed. A small SSD with at least 128 gigs of storage space wouldn't hurt but it would be a bit too much to expect from a solid-state drive from such an affordable AIO rig.

There's a lot to like about the Fusion5 A7. But, more than anything else, it is definitely the price tag that the product comes with. For less than 300 pounds, you get yourself a fully functional PC, ready for work. It is a great computer for educational purpose and not the worst choice as far as entertainment is concerned. Of course, given its price, you can't really expect a state-of-the-art rig with top-of-the-line performance. But what you get in return for that very modest price is nothing short of impressive.

For starters, the computer comes with a copy Windows 10 Home 64-bit Edition already installed. It may be nothing to write home about for your average desktop or even for a budget all-in-one desktop, but keep in mind that it costs somewhere around 100 quid on its own. Considering the latter fact, we wouldn't recommend taking that Windows copy for granted the way we usually do.

The iOTA Base 2520 looks so elegant and tasteful that the product's price tag is somewhat hard to believe. Of course, the price makes sense partially because the company's name is as obscure as they come, so keeping the price low is the best and, sometimes, the only way these no-name companies can compete with huge brands like Apple and Lenovo.

Sure, there are other downsides to the product too. Otherwise, these specs that you can see above simply wouldn't be making any sense relative to the <250-quid price tag. These downsides include the TN screen and the fact that there's no hard drive here. Of course, the TN screen is expected because IPS monitors cost more than that alone.

Storage-wise though, the setup incorporates this 64 GB eMMC flash memory solid-state-esque unit. The memory boots the system and different applications in a flash (apologies, we had to) but, needless to say, you won't be able to store many applications because 64 gigabytes is not that much.

Having said that, you can find ports galore on the screen's back. There are three USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, a micro SD slot, an HDMI output to connect any second screen, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. As you would imagine, you'll be able to use these ports to connect many different devices and peripherals, so you'll basically be able to fix the computer's limited shortcomings whenever you want.
