When compiling the list, we took into account the quality of the screen, ease of use and the optimal ratio of characteristics and prices for this segment of technology.

It opens the top 10 all-in-ones with a budget modification of the Acer Aspire C22-865 model equipped with a 4-core Intel Core i5-8250U chip (1.6 - 3.4 GHz) and an Intel UHD Graphics 620 video processor.

However, you can also install an SSD, but then the device will cost you much more.

First of all, this device attracts with the quality of the display. The 23.8-inch screen with a resolution of 1920x1080 pixels guarantees a clear picture, good contrast and brightness. At the same time, the matte touch screen has an anti-reflective coating, so even in bright conditions, nothing prevents a convenient viewing of the picture. Another advantage is the chic built-in speakers and dual microphone - a great conference solution. In addition, the developers equipped a good modern all-in-one with a retractable webcam with support for infrared and Full HD resolution. Implemented face recognition technology certified for Windows Hello. As for the technical characteristics, considering the price, we chose a configuration with an Intel Core i5-8500 processor, an integrated Intel UHD Graphics 630 graphics card and a minimum SSD capacity. The RAM is 8 gigabytes, but in the future it can be increased to 16 GB.

If you plan to buy a budget all-in-one, we recommend that you pay attention to the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 730S-24. This unit has a 23.8-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels.

Accordingly, most of the models described below support games, have more features for working with multimedia and an extensive scope. It is worth adding that brand policy plays not the last place. Compare the specifications of the same-priced models to find the right machine for your needs.

The ASUS Vivo AiO V272UN model equipped with the eighth generation Intel Core i7 chip replenishes the monoblock rating for the home. This device guarantees the fastest operation even in a multitasking environment. Special attention is paid to the new 27-inch NanoEdge screen, equipped with a narrow frame and excellent viewing angles. Users have already managed to evaluate realistic color reproduction, high contrast and excellent Full HD resolution. The advantage of the device is an excellent sensor that allows you to handle touches with 10 fingers at once simultaneously. In addition, the model has excellent illumination, high-quality bass reflex speakers and SonicMaster technology. As for the video card, only the NVIDIA GeForce MX150 is available. RAM can be installed from 8 to 16 gigabytes.

The first thing I want to pay attention to right away is the stylish appearance of a reliable candy bar. The case is so thin (7 mm) that it practically does not take up space on the desktop. An elegant, durable stand is also noteworthy.At the same time, the developers decided to compensate for the low performance (Intel Core i3-7020U 2.3 GHz) with a pretty good graphics card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti. Although not at maximum settings, users can run almost any game without any problems. Another plus is Cortana’s personal assistant, answering user questions even from another room. This suggests that the device is equipped with high-quality microphones and speakers. To perform several tasks simultaneously, 8 gigabytes of RAM are installed.

This model is positioned as a good gaming monoblock, but due to the form factor the maximum that users can count on is GTX 1060. In the gaming industry, this is far from the best hardware, but for this type of technology it is quite difficult to find a device with a more powerful video card . With the exception of the stunning sRGB backlight, there is no hint of gaming focus in the design of the model. Actually, the appearance may even seem boring. However, manufacturers have focused on the parameters and characteristics. In particular, the 4-core Intel Core i7 chip with a frequency of 3.4 GHz is responsible for high performance. It works in conjunction with the operational format DDR4 SDRAM, the volume of which can reach 32 GB. The 27-inch touchscreen has a wide viewing angle and 100% color gamut coverage. Image delays are minimal.

Undoubtedly, one of the most popular monoblocks for the home is the ASUS Zen AiO Z272SD model, which has quite a few configurations. In our opinion, the option with the GTX 1050 graphics card and Intel Core i7-8700T processor looks very attractive. The resolution of the 27-inch screen is 3840x2160 pixels. The screen is clear, bright with good contrast. Our configuration has 12 gigabytes of RAM, but can be increased up to 18 GB. The volume of the SSD is 1 TB. Despite these parameters, the model has a loyal price tag. Appearance corresponds to the direction of the model. This is really a premium device that can provide the user with the necessary performance for various tasks: from interacting with heavy software to games, albeit not at the maximum settings.

The best all-in-one of 2019 is the new Apple iMac, featuring a slim body and sleek stand. In this case, the main advantage of the device is a beautiful display. In addition, the manufacturer took care of the availability of very high technical characteristics. The device operates on the basis of Intel Core i5-8500. The premium version has a 27-inch screen with a resolution of 5K (5120 × 2880 pixels). Each of the models is based on Apple Fusion Drive hybrid drives. It is a combination of hard drive and SSD. Additional “goodies” include the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse 2 and high-quality built-in speakers. Out of the box, it runs on OS X 10.11 El Capitan. There are many free and useful programs available on the Mac App Store.

First you need to decide on the tasks assigned to the computer. For office tasks, surfing the Internet, it makes no sense to buy a model more expensive than 50 thousand. When thinking about how to choose a candy bar, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. Display - it is important that it works on the basis of the IPS matrix with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels;
2. RAM - at least 4 GB of type DDR4, but better about 8 gigabytes;
3. Processor - the initial category operates on the basis of the Core i3-7020U or Core i5-8500, the premium ones are equipped with an Intel Core i7 chip;
4. Video card - for learning and working there is enough built-in discrete video card, if you want to play, pay attention to models with GTX 1050 Ti or 1060.
5. Internal memory - if you buy a configuration with a hard drive, take at least 1000 GB, but better SSD or combined models.For starters, you can install 256 GB SSD, in the future you can add.

Before summing up, I want to clarify. The fact is that the term "gaming" is currently in this segment of technology is conditional, given the current standards for the performance of video cards. At the same time, positioned as gaming devices are several times more expensive than the same laptops. Keep this in mind when thinking which one to buy a candy bar. Conclusion:

• the best inexpensive candy bar - Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 730S;
• for games - Dell XPS 27 7760;
• for study and work - Apple iMac.
