AIO Desktop.

Go to solution Solved by Darkseth,

Apple dominates the AiO Market pretty much. Unless you're fine with entry level.

Most come with 1080p screens, and just midrange Hardware, not many come with those higher Gaming GPUs. It would be difficult to cool them anyway.

Most AIOs are designed as "your everyday computer".

That's where the iMac shines.

 

If i filter 4k Resolution (3840x2160) and listed since 2019 (aka, not older than 2 years), all i see is apple, starting from 1100€.

A single HP AiO for 2300€, listed at a single Amazon marketplace vendor, again only Apple, untill the next non-Apple appears at 3k+.

 

Below 1k, there are a few basic models like the HP All-in-One 24-dp0006ng (1080p, R5 4500u, 8gb Ram, 256gb ssd.

With Gaming in mind, you can find some with GTX 1650:
- Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 5 27IMB05

- HP Pavilion All-in-One 27-d0302ng

But these start at slightly above 1k. And if they're worth it...

You can get a 1080p Monitor + a Entry level Gaming Notebook with simliar performance for less, and be more flexible.

 

 

Overall, if you hit like 1300-1500 bucks.. I would really honestly just go with the new M1 iMac. Silent, fast as hell, best Display.. And "some Gaming" is still possible, as long the Game is available on MacOS.

All the big OEMs make them, try HP, Lenovo, Dell, and all those big brands. If you don't care about compatibility, then it could be worth considering the new iMac.

What do you define as "a little bit" of gaming? What do you want to play on it? Most AIOs don't come with super powerful GPUs. Most come without.
