Who's it for: Apple fans that want a 27-inch AIO and can't wait for a new model.Īpple has moved to its own M1 silicon on the 24-inch iMac, but the 27-inch model with a 5K screen is still using Intel chips. Why you should buy this: It's the most powerful 27-inch iMac you can buy. The larger 27-inch iMacs have Intel Core i9 chips that are powerful, but they're not a patch on the newer Apple M1. The downside is that the only option for the iMac M1 version is the smaller 24-inch model, which does cut down on display room. The base model comes with two Thunderbolt 4/USB4 ports, but upgraded models add USB-A and Gigabit Ethernet ports, too. In addition to Apple's powerful M1 chip (which is indeed an upgrade compared to past smaller iMacs), this iMac also has a seven-core GPU (upgradeable to eight cores), 8GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of storage. As always, it's an excellent option for artists and designers - as long as you don't mind working with MacOS. The new, extra-thin design comes with a variety of color options, but the real star here is the 4.5K, 4480 x 2520 resolution screen for incredibly distinct images (not to mention 100% in the sRGB ranges and 90% in the AdobeRGB range for color). Who's it for: Anyone that wants a simple AIO with enough power to handle most tasks.Īpple's 2021 update to the iMac brought us a colorful, 24-inch version of the popular all-in-one, now equipped with Apple's own M1 processor chip. Why you should buy this: It's the most powerful iMac that Apple has ever released, and the new color options are striking. Overall, while not everyone needs this full spec package, it's the best AIO we've come across so far. The package also includes a magnetic webcam that you can attach to five different positions along the monitor depending on what works best for you. Storage comes in with a 1TB PCIe NVMe solid-state drive (SSD), enough for most purposes, and Wi-Fi 6 is supported.

That extends to the Nvidia GeForce GTX 3060 graphics card, which can power your gaming adventures, and twin Thunderbolt 4 connections (plus USB-A and USB-C and an SD card reader). No matter what you have in mind for this AIO, it's ready to handle it. No need to worry if an AIO will have the necessary power with this model: It comes packed to the brim with excellent specs including an 12th-generation, eight-core Intel processor, 16GB of RAM, and not to mention the expansive 34-inch, 5120 x 2160 resolution display. HP's Envy AIOs have always been impressive machines, but this latest machine effortlessly rises to the top. Who's it for: The space-conscious PC user who wants power without a hefty tower. Why you should buy this: It's currently the best AIO desktop computer you can buy.
