Reddit mentions: The best all-in-one computers

Minecraft is not a demanding game so you don’t need a powerful GPU, so I would recommend The Acer Aspire E 15 would be enough for your usage, because it comes with

• NVIDIA MX150 which is one of the best for this range but still not great for newer games Benchmark(use the same website to check the benchmarks of the other GPU from the right hand list) and it will run Minecraft smoothly.
  
  
• 8th Gen i5 quad core CPU, Full HD IPS 15.6 inch screen, 8GB ram, 256GB SSD, MX 150 GPU (a nice step up from the iGPU 620 on the other acer ).
  
  
• Long battery life (advertised of up to 15-hours of battery life), weight 5.27 lbs, backlit keyboard, USB type C.
  
  
• 8GB DDR4, 256GB SSD both are somewhat standards in 600 range so finding them on 500~ range is somewhat a catch.
  
  Here is a little in depth review of it :
  
  
• It is made from plastic, but it feels sturdy, screen comes with anti glare finish so it will work well outside.
  
  
• Battery life is great about 5-8 hours of general usage.
  
  
• Backlit keyboard, quite and comfortable, Trackpad have been getting some mixed reviews, I think it is a software issue, or maybe it is because some people are not used to trackpads.
  
  
• Speakers are good, above average for laptops in this range, the gaming performance is also above average since it is only MX150 but it the best for the budget.
  
  
• Thin, very quiet (can barely hear the fans), It has room for more ram as well as more SSD, Fingerprint magnet.
  
  
  But if you prefer more powerful GPU as a future proof for more demanding games, then I would recommend this [Dell Inspiron] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07F9416JW/?tag=bkadamos_alltest-20) because it has a great balance between value for money, battery life, and very good performance, here is a little detailed review of it:
  
  Screen hinge in the center, which makes the display very stable.
  
  You can open the display with one hand without any problems.
  
  Comes with 3 USB and 1 USB type C that supports Thunderbolt.
  
  Comes with Intel Wireless-AC 9560 which promises 1.7Gb/s but only delivers 485MBit/s (shouldn't be an issue unless you have such a very high speed and the need for it).
  
  Easily upgradeable since you only need to remove a single screw to access the back of the laptop to replace/upgrade ram and storage.
  
  Comes with chiclet keyboard with average sized keys.\
  
  The typing noises is not audible (except for the space key).
  
  The touchpad is large and defined by red accent, the keys (left, right) are in the touchpad itself (not separate keys), and gives a quiet clicking sound when pressed and supports gesture controls with several fingers.
  
  Display is the main con of the unit, it is not super bright (to the point of issues in direct sunshine).
  
  Screen has low sRGB and RGB coverage (57% sRGB and 36% AdobeRGB) and low constractions.
  
  Screen doesn't come with PWM or Screen flickering (it is a good thing because screens that have it put strain on your eyes).
  
  Screen is IPS so it has good viewing angles, but also has slow response rate when compared to TN panels.
  
  Fan noise is another small con, while the sound is low under light usage, it does get loud while gaming but not to the point of it being annoyingly loud.
  
  Heat management on it is very good, and its main selling point along with value for money, CPU/GPU don't throttle(much it is still within acceptable level) and don't get hot to the point of internal damage (however, it does hot enough to be uncomfortable on your lap).
  
  Speakers are user facing, so there is no muffled sound, however, it doesn't offer much base.
  
  GPU is powerful enough to run Minecraft on Medium to high settings, you can view the expected FPs from this link

^/u/SmallYTChannelBot ^made ^by ^/u/jwnskanzkwk. ^PM ^for ^bug ^reports. ^For ^more ^information, ^read ^the ^FAQ.

/r/PlexACD Refugee here, looking to bring everything back in house. Curious if anyone has been in a similar boat and has some feedback?

Here are some details about my situation:

• I'm trying to optimize for space and minimize heat generated so i can run server/data from a closet
  
• I'm planning on buying a storage solution (to save space and cut down on my complexity) instead of building one
  
• I have maybe 4 TB of media, looking to grow a TB per year
  
  • Redundancy in data is not critical required
    
• Concurrent transcoding is a rare situation - maybe 2 720p concurrent streams @ worst case
  
• Happy running Ubuntu
  
  my approach (feel free to tear it apart or suggest alternatives)
  
  
• NUC for Computer (this one has a CPU Passmark of 3824, so should be good for a 1080p and 720p concurrent) -
  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N4EOJNG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
  
  • I'll add 4 GB of RAM to it - seems like plenty
    
• PRORAID drive enclosure (gives me the option to use RAID or some software equivalent like flexRaid if i want in the future) - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YFHEAC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
  
  • I'll probably go with RAID5 and just buy some drives up front that will last me a few years - sounds simpler than the software raid stuf
    
    My findings through this research:
    
    
• a NAS likely won't give me enough horsepower to feel comfortable in the transcoding department
  
• If i use a NUC to serve up data, i don't need an underpowered NAS for storage - i could do just fine with drive enclosure
  
• There are WAY too many software RAID options out there
  
  Thanks!

Online... I usually check Wayfair.com for ideas... In your case, I searched for a "craft table" and came up with this interesting unit that combines shelving with a small table/desk. (Naturally, you can browse Wayfair for other ideas, but this is what leapt out at me)

At the very least, I would include a Clip On Lamp With 5X Magnifying Glass and modify the table to include an under-desk keyboard drawer to accommodate a space-saving all-in-one computer system. (How you & your family do your computing & web browsing is up to you, of course. But I'd suggest a dedicated "hobby computer" for your "hobby work station." That way, you and your son can share all your hobby links on the same computer... but then you can keep all your personal stuff on your separate system and he can keep all his games and schoolwork or whatever on his...

Just some suggestions that I hope you'll find useful... Good luck & have fun!

If you haven't been convinced to build your own little computer yet, you might want to track the price of that AIO on Amazon. It was down to $1150 a few days ago, which was probably a better deal than anything equivalent you'd be able to build. It seems like a decent enough machine, better performance than most AOI's. Definitely a markup for the form factor if you pay what Lenovo wants for it, but the Amazon price is pretty good.

Personally, I had a couple of desktops and a couple of laptops when I was a student, and I never kept the desktops very long. The extra power was nice, but they took up so much space and were such a hassle to move compared to my laptops. That Y910 may be a good middle ground.

Based off of the links you gave me, it seems that you are restricted to buying in the UK and to some extent Europe correct? If so, then I would definitely suggest buying the Acer Aspire E15, For the same price as your cheaper option, you are also getting a dedicated MX150 2GB graphics card, which will be much better at light gaming than integrated graphics. Battery life is also pretty good as well, at least similar to the Inspiron line. The screen is where a lot of people seem to be disappointed with it, as it comes with a TN panel. Albeit, it is still 1080p and is bright enough even in outdoor use, so I believe that people are just expecting way too much out of a machine at this price.

As per per your other option, the HP Omen is also a decent buy, though obviously for a more gamer oriented user.
The 144 Hz panel is a great feature that'll make gaming and general usage look even better, however the GTX 1050 2GB that it ships with probably won't be able to hit those types of framerates, so you wouldn't even be able to fully utilize it. I'd stick with either your chosen Inspiron or my Acer Aspire. Let me know what you think.

Relentless you are! I dont know why im engaging you but whatever.


Here's the imac product page:
yeet


You get a 21.5" 4k display, a 5400rpm from 2006, an i3 quad core and some ridiculously priced memory tiers.


But our total, for the base is $1299 usd before tax. Yikes.



Lets go find a better computer!!!

First step: A much better monitor, because I cant find one that small at 4k

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01C3BZIIC/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B01C3BZIIC&pd_rd_w=MW8Bp&pf_rd_p=80559f3c-f83b-49c1-8a72-40f936e9df7a&pd_rd_wg=9z0Dq&pf_rd_r=HNRZ6T3133JM78KV9Y11&pd_rd_r=cc31f05f-5437-11e9-8012-738d1edf946a

$500 usd (remember this has lg retail markup on it too!)

So we still have 800 usd to find a computer with at least an i3 and an ssd.


Here's a wide selection of computers that fit that archaic requirement:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=vivomini&ref=nb_sb_noss_2


Taking a $600 option leaves $200 for macOS and the keyboard and mouse.


Sounds reasonable? not really. Apple arent just reselling other companies stuff, lets less the end user retail (say ~20%) per product. Now we have a $400 and a $530 display.

Its also not fair to use market retail for the accessories apple give you.... That said we still dont break 1299 including competitor markup.



But but buut... it costs money to tool up an imac. True. It costs money to the other companies too.


Oh, but thats not an all in one???

Ohhhh noooo


trying to find a competing AIO that enters the market at such a low point is hard. The reality is nobody is selling them together... But if anyone is reading this.. get a monitor and a vesa bracket for your computer and get your nephew to install it.


here's an AIO that is better and cheaper tho https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z240IE-DS71-23-8-All-Desktop/dp/B01N5WA3KC?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=tomsguide-tgus:en_US_21_Review_2159-20





I apologize if the links are regionally all over the place, im not american but tried american pricing here.



I've read this blokes comment history... this is the equivalent of a kid asking 'why' over and over and over

Hey I might be able to help you out. For 600 dollars you can build a pretty beastly machine. The touchscreen will not be available for a desktop unless you buy a monitor with the pc built in meant for touchscreen use https://www.amazon.com/Acer-C24-865-ACi5NT-i5-8250U-802-11ac-Wireless/dp/B07CY79CKZ/ref=sr_1_5?crid=17XWFZVKKY756&keywords=pc+with+touchscreen&qid=1564634502&s=electronics&sprefix=pc+with+to%2Celectronics%2C129&sr=1-5 Your only other option would be a laptop and you dont want that. Now you will not get your moneys worth buying a prebuilt system such as a ibuy power ect. So you are gonna want to build your own machine. Its pretty simple, apply some thermal paste here, insert some ram here type of deal. so because you want portable your gonna want a micro atx system or a micro ITX system. Now for memory, Im assuming you mean storage to download games onto. If not your referring to ram. From your needs im gonna say 16 to 32 gigs is enough. 64 to over 100 gigs is not in your price range. or storage a 1 terabyte drive is pretty cheap. So based on the case you can keep adding more drives or buy a bigger drive. A 14 terabyte drive could be a future goal. Now for specs, for your price range I feel AMD Ryzen may be your best bet. Intel gets better the higher the budget. I will see what i can find. I will also send you a private message to talk more. For 600 bucks I can pick out a system with 16 gigs of ram a quad core processor and more then enough storage, but i will also try to make multiple builds for you. I will take you the intel and AMD rough and let you choose. I will send you links to info about the two and let you choose. Just know the cpu choice will determinate other factors of the build. This includes the motherboard. I will link you to a system builder folder just for you with build picked out I picked just for you. I will also send a link to a pc build guide. I will also look for good pre builts for you. Be expecting a private message.

Chromebooks will be the best option for them. When my mom was using a Windows machine, she always had issues and questions. I got her an Acer R11 Chromebook and her computer experience has been much better. Also, Chromebooks have long life cycles before the need to be upgraded if you choose to.

If they want a larger screen, try the Acer Chromebook 14. I am not familiar with Chromeboxes, but I think Acer still makes the Chromebase, and ASUS makes a Chromebox as well. Check the links I posted:

https://www.amazon.com/Asus-CHROMEBOX-M004U-ASUS-Desktop/dp/B00IT1WJZQ

https://www.amazon.com/Acer-DQ-Z0EAA-001-CA24I-CN-CA24I-Cn-Intel-Non-Touchscreen/dp/B01G26U492/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1511994929&sr=1-2&keywords=chromebase

Good Luck.

Don't buy a NUC. This is a ryzen build that will give you the platform to build upon if you'd want it.

You can put hard drives in here, you have enough PSU to put a decent GPU in if you'd want, a free RAM slot to move to 16GB some day, plenty of power.

A typical NUC around this price would have an i3 7100u. The ryzen is easily twice as powerful, and I'm even budgeting a 240GB SSD and 8GB of RAM - the nuc comes with none. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i3-7100U-vs-AMD-Ryzen-3-2200G/m176913vsm441832

https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC7I3BNH-NUC-Kit-Components/dp/B01N4EOJNG/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1542969091&sr=1-8&keywords=nuc


Obviously if size is a concern, this is a minitower not a palm sized PC. OTOH, a palm sized PC cannot hold a $20 1TB 3.5" drive nor an actual GPU if you wanted to game in the future.

Hey,

two recommendations: first being the Acer Swift 3, which has:

• i5-8250U 4-core processor
  
  
• 8 GB of RAM
  
  
• 256 GB SSD storage
  
  
• 1080p 15.6" display
  
  
• Weight of 1.7kg and battery life up to 7 hours
  
  The laptop runs Windows 10 Home. It should be fine for the uses you listed, as well as light gaming. It is decently light and has an aluminum chassis.
  
  If you can expand a bit on budget, the Acer Aspire E 15 has a dedicated graphics card which will be better for light gaming.

The Acer Aspire E 15 seems like a pretty good budget option.

It's a little bigger than what you want but the specs are great for the price.

How cheap is cheap?

Can't really provide good links without a price range, but I can give you a bit of important advice:

Get something with an AMD/ATI card, do NOT get a laptop with an nVidia card for FFXI. nVidia cards don't support the older directx that ffxi uses, so you'll have to either run it on the onboard graphics or use something like dgvoodoo to force it to run on the nvidia and then there's still conversion issues.


This seems like a decent option, but at 4gigs of ram you're definitely not going to want to have it multitasking much: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-80XV009CUS-A9-9420-AMD-GRAPHICS/dp/B0772VN88B

Yes. Is a lenovo a good brand? Lenovo ThinkCentre M92z FHD 23" All in One Desktop Computer PC (Intel Quad Core i5-3470T, 8GB Ram, 512GB SSD, DVD-RW, WiFi Camera) Win 10 Pro (Certified Refurbished) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J9R99DY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HK7yCb063EFPS

If you want to save some money, I would rather choose this Acer Aspire E 15, the price on Amazon is under $600

It has:

• 8th Generation Intel Core i5-8250U Processor (Up to 3.4GHz),
  
• 8GB DDR4 Memory
  
• 256GB SSD
  
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX MX150 with 2GB of dedicated GDDR5 VRAM
  
• 15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) widescreen IPS display
  
• 8X DVD Double-Layer Drive RW
  
• Up to 15 hours of battery life
  
• Windows 10 Home
  
• English Keyboard
  
  More Details

Very much wonderful. If I didn't preorder it so soon, mine would have done the same. I need to give her more chances at things like this. I'll have to figure out something to heavily hint at between now and Christmas-ish.

Honestly, the new Ryzen laptops are great if you don't mind outdated drivers and some small issues I'd get the 15-inch HP with the Ryzen 5 2500U. If you mind those Ryzen issues, I'd get the Acer Aspire E15 with the MX150.

Sigh.
I know you think Macs are awesome, but look at this comparison.
iMac on Amazon

For nearly that much money you can get an S-IPS Monitor and a better PC. My point is that you can get a lot more technology for your dollar if its not Macintosh gear. I love Macbook Pros and I own an iPhone, but my PC stays in one place great build quality isn't really a concern.

That may be a good use for an Intel NUC. It's basically a tiny barebones kit with a CPU and power supply, you put in your own ram and ssd or m.2 drive and you're good to go.

Here's one kit on amazon with an i3: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4EOJNG/
There are a bunch of kits at various price points depending on how much power you need. Some come with storage or a copy of windows pre-installed, so look around for what you need.

This Dell Inspiron 3464 i3464-3038BLK-PUS would be a good machine for an office. Decently powered, crisp and bright display with wide viewing angles and a large storage.

There are things that are somewhat similar, so... yes. There are all-in-ones that have as much or more power than an iMac.

They're not necessarily unique when it comes to that particular design. Companies like Sony have made flat panel all-in-ones in this particular style longer than Apple has, so they're not even the first to explore the form factor.

That said, something identical to an iMac? No. What Apple products have is style. Beyond that, they're honestly nothing special. Apple uses the same run-of-the-mill hardware as any other company with only things like the mainboard being made special for them and they all have a similar MTBF.

Sometimes they innovate with new connectivity options or media types. They were the first consumer machines to have FireWire, the first with high pixel density displays, the first with USB-C.

TLDR: Macs are rarely unique, sometimes innovative, stylish, but not special.

This [Acer Aspire E 15] (https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BVYLWML) would be a very good option for your needs, as it has a NVIDIA MX150 which is a good GPU, an extremely long battery life which is nearly 11-hours, Full HD IPS 15.6 inch screen and it doesn't look like a gaming laptop.

After a bit of digging, I've found three laptops that seem to fit my purpose.
Acer Aspire E 15: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BVYLWML/?coliid=I12H7L64L9WL2D&colid=1LLKU0LUQ510W&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
Asus Vivobook S15 S530: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-VivoBook-NanoEdge-i5-8265-Processor/dp/B07MWDHKXY/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Vivobook+s530&qid=1557941493&s=computers&sr=1-1


and as a lower price version (still looking into this one)
255 G5: https://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-255-G5-Resolution-Professional/dp/B01MRR6M9F/ref=pd_ybh_a_12?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2A2A9HK47DJK9R3X9208


If you have any suggestions, they'll be appreciated.

heres the best all in one i can find

https://www.amazon.com/HP-4300-Processor-Professional-Refurbished/dp/B074Q2S71S/ref=sr_1_10?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1519922770&sr=1-10&keywords=all+in+one+pc&refinements=p_36%3A-30500

Thanks for the suggestion! it would help. might turn the pentium to an i3 or i4 because of how im stuck with intel HD graphics.
My computer: https://www.amazon.com/HP-24-g016-Desktop-Pentium-Windows/dp/B01G2AJ5MK

For what his mother needs, this won't perform as well as the Chromebook.

Here's a terrific 24" desktop version.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01G26U492/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1501244835&sr=8-4&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=chrome+desktop&dpPl=1&dpID=51buiYXAwSL&ref=plSrch

Versus Windows, this is faster, easier to use, requires no setup, updates or virus checks, boots instantly, is always accessible and it just works. Use the right tool for the job.

What about this? Though if you built a desktop you'd be better off.

is this one any good?
HP 24-g016 23.8" All-In-One Desktop (Intel Pentium J3710, 8GB RAM, 1 TB HDD, Windows 10 Home)

Oh hey while were talking i was wondering if i can ask you a quick question. My friend has this computer and he was wondering if he can switch out its graphics card or if it wouldnt be possible to do so

> the smallest thing possible

The smallest thing possible is an Intel NUC. They are a bit pricey tho. You just need to add an SSD and RAM and you have a computer that fits into your hand. More than enough for photo editing.

i3 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC7I3BNH-NUC-Kit-Components/dp/B01N4EOJNG

i5 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC7I5BNK-NUC-Kit-Components/dp/B01N2UMKZ5

i7 https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC7I7BNH-NUC-Kit-Components/dp/B01N0RL8Q4

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015DX4AOA/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=VXJHX1HMSD3XXYQM8EB4&th=1 really good for video editing .

Best AIO desktop for small/medium business employees to use?

~$600-$700 including monitor/mouse/keyboard/wifi

Bought 3 of these but need more. Recommendations?

Just as a matter of interest, is this the laptop you were referring to?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07BVYLWML/ref=psdc_429886031_t1_B075FLBJV7

Ow.. I missed that. I've looked for every processor (from above selection) and find that in this site https://www.passmark.com/index.html only one processor score over 2000. And than I've looked this NUC for acceptable price https://www.amazon.com/Intel-BOXNUC7I3BNHX1-Optane-memory-preinstalled/dp/B01N4EOJNG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1503405386&sr=8-6&keywords=NUC7I3BNH&th=1 and it scores 3800. So transcoding with nuc would be easier it seems.

Thanks for the suggestion. Ended up going with the Acer Aspire E 15
