15 best candy bars

Monoblock (All-in-One) - a progressive invention in the field of computer technology, which has become a kind of alternative to a full-fledged personal computer. The idea of ​​combining several devices (in this case, the monitor and the system unit) in a single package is by no means new - developers and manufacturers in the computer technology segment resorted to using this configuration in the 1970s and 1980s, when personal computers were just beginning to develop.

All-in-One systems have a number of advantages associated mainly with ergonomic indicators. Surely many of you dreamed that the "endless" confusion with the wires, dusting the system unit and the monitor in the PC did not cause so much trouble - especially when carrying or servicing in the event of a breakdown. Monoblocks allow you to eliminate such problems, while not losing in the least performance, functionality and overall reliability.

The production of monoblocks as a separate type of computers (along with laptops) continues to gain momentum to this day. In particular, such giants as Apple (the founders of monoblocks), Hewlett Packard, Asus, Acer, Lenovo and many others continue to work on the development of this promising technology. Carefully evaluating the products of leading companies, we selected for you the top ten best candy bars in four main categories. The following parameters were used as the criteria for the selection of goods and the final distribution of places:

• the average cost of a line of monoblocks;
• available modifications - the value of the range;
• quality standard components;
• overall build quality, accuracy of execution;
• the degree of reliability and performance of systems.

All models of candy bars, presented in the top, were approved by experienced users and professionals in the field of computer technology. In the ranking, we describe the currently available models with the best configuration. But this does not mean that manufacturers did not produce other versions of the same candybar with different characteristics and capabilities.

The best office monoblocks

Office monoblocks are not required to be high-performance. They should be enough to perform the simplest functions - open MS Office, find the necessary information on the Internet, fill in the database and so on. But it should be understood that for complex tasks and heavy programs you need a monoblock more powerful.

3 Dell Inspiron 22 3263

Compact candy bar from the US manufacturer, the screen diagonal is only 21.5 inches.Such dimensions ideally fit into almost any workplace, whether it is a small corner of an ordinary clerk or a manager's table not deprived of restrained rigor. If we put aside the small (but winning) dimensions, then we get a somewhat controversial spectacle in the form of design. Dell products can not be called luxurious, and yet in the model number there are nice representatives.

But in terms of the filling and consistency of characteristics with the cost of a monoblock almost surpasses the competitors. In the “extreme” version, the Dell Inspiron 22 3263 runs on an Intel Core i3 processor and a AMD graphics card - the Radeon R5 A335 with 2 GB of memory. In principle, such a pair is enough to solve any working issues, and even to use the candy bar as a gaming platform for age games, but no more. If the design issue for you is secondary - feel free to purchase this model.

2 Asus Vivo AiO V221 ID

A product made by a Chinese company that has gained popularity for an inexpensive candy bar for small and medium-sized offices. A nice-looking design and proprietary reliability are not complemented with the most top-notch characteristics, as a result of which Asus Vivo AiO V221 ID was written off as a home gaming computer. The system based on Intel Pentium 4 has not the most outstanding amounts of internal RAM and storage capacity. 4 GB of RAM and 2 GB of video memory from a discrete GeForce 920MX video card are enough to load many resource-intensive applications, but if the files used (or processed) are too large, then 500 GB on the HDD will obviously not be enough.

Alas, Asus Vivo AiO V221 ID does not allow users to vary in terms of the choice of "stuffing" - there is only one set and therefore it will not be possible to play with performance here. But there is an advantage in terms of cost - it is one and fully satisfies the technical characteristics.

1 HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One

Monoblock mid-level, built on the basis of functional processors Intel Core i-series, capable of performing any tasks of office work. Due to the small dimensions of the HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One is able to fit into any environment, and the external simplicity of the case and the presence of strict (but light) features only emphasizes its formality and clear corporate orientation. The model averaged in terms of modification is based on a dual-core Intel Core i3 6100U processor, whose frequency is 2.3 GHz. Externally, a decent amount of RAM, 8 GB, partly goes to the needs of the integrated Intel HD Graphics 520 video card, which, in general, does not affect the performance when running standard office applications.

If the work involves the launch of demanding programs, it makes sense to look at a more "advanced" version of the all-in-one with an Intel Core i5 6200U on board. This configuration has a discrete graphics card with a memory capacity of 2 GB and a 1000 GB drive. With similar parameters, the HP Pavilion 24 All-in-One is suitable not only for the office, but can also become quite a decent gaming station.

The best gaming monoblocks

A monoblock game is a powerful machine that can digest any game, even the freshest. This gadget has the best (or close to the best) components designed to handle complex tasks - heavy graphics, serious calculations, and so on. Game monoblocks are spared from unnecessary functions - for example, they do not always have touch screens or huge display resolutions, because for games this is simply not necessary.

3 Asus Zen AiO Pro Z220IC

A full-fledged gaming platform that can satisfy the needs of most gamers. The architecture of all modifications (there are only two of them) is based on the top 4 core Intel Core i7 6700T processor. As a video card, they have a mobile GeForce GTX 960M with two gigabytes of memory capable of “drawing” the graphics of almost all the projects of the current generation. All the difference in the modifications fell to the share of equipment with RAM and hard disk capacity. A more expensive version of the monoblock has a board with a memory capacity of 16 GB and 1000 GB HDD / SSD, while the other - 12 GB and disappointing 512 GB SSD for file needs.

In addition to the "bare" characteristics, both versions have a significant addition in the form of one free RAM slot. In other words, each user can, if desired, slightly tweak the characteristics of the system in the direction of improvement. In general, the Asus Zen AiO Pro Z220IC is a great gaming candy bar, equally good in both versions (and not without flaws).

2 Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 910 27

Regarding the fact that the Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 910 27 deserves a place in the rating, no doubt. If in other gaming systems, the stuffing of a single, usually top-end version is surprising, then here you will see an abundance of modifications that are very even in terms of stuffing. It is through this approach to equipment that Lenovo is in high demand in the market.

The most "light" version of the monoblock is equipped with a Core i5 processor and a combination of 8 GB of RAM and a GeForce 940A video card, the volume of which is 2 GB. The difference from the next in the rank of modification (of the essential ones) is only in the storage capacity - 1000 GB versus 2000 GB, respectively. The most productive monoblock model has the Core i7 7700T processor with a frequency of 2.9 GHz. The video card is one rank higher than the previous ones - it is a GeForce GTX 950A with the same two gigabytes, but stronger in terms of performance at high revs. Completes a set of 16 GB of RAM and dual HDD / SSD drive with a capacity of 2000 and 256 GB, respectively.

1 Dell XPS 27 7760 All-In-One

A real “monster” even by the standards of full-fledged personal computers is a candy bar designed specifically for the most picky gamers.Most of the modifications of this "American miracle" remained at home, while the most powerful version came to the domestic market. If you briefly omit the characteristics of the system, then we can note an interesting sound decision made by the developers from Dell. To improve the standard sound, they decided to place six small speakers on the front panel of the all-in-one, so that the user receives a portion of good sound by default. It should be noted that such a risky experiment was a success - the dynamics in no way spoil the appearance of the model, giving it its individuality.

Of the characteristics, 32 GB of RAM, 2000 GB of SSHD, a Radeon R9 M485X video card with 4 GB of capacity and, of course, the “fiery heart” of the system are 4 core Intel Core i7 6700 processor with a frequency of 3.4 GHz. The most powerful configuration, worth not small money.

The best sensory monoblocks

Touch monoblocks, as the name implies, have a touch screen. Such models are optimal if it is more convenient for the owner to mark something, draw graphics, and so on with a hand rather than a mouse. They allow you to create content more comfortably, although they do not always have enough performance for professional tasks.

3 HP ProOne 400 G3 20 "

Twenty-inch monoblock with a resolution of the Full HD touch screen and good performance. Able to digest relatively heavy work programs and even some modern games. But not the best and not at the maximum graphics settings. In the maximum configuration, you can get a built-in Intel HD Graphics 630 graphics card, an Intel Core i5-7500T processor with a frequency of 2.7 GHz, 8 GB DDR4 RAM, and a terabyte on the hard disk. You can buy a model with SSD-drive and HDD for storing files.

Relatively small for a monoblock screen "softens" thick frames on the sides. So the design can be said to be an amateur. Interestingly, the touchscreen display has a matte finish. Therefore, it will not glare in the sun, and the picture will be clearly visible even in very bright light. On the other hand, management will have to make a little more effort. All the necessary modern and not very interfaces are available. You can connect anything to a monoblock.

2 Lenovo IdeaCentre AIO 520-24

A well-deserved silver among sensory monoblocks takes a model with a display with a diagonal of 23.8 inches and a screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. In the maximum configuration model has excellent characteristics - the Intel Core i5-8259U processor is capable of delivering frequencies up to 3.4 GHz. This is supported by 8 gigabytes of RAM - with an upgrade you can add it up to 16 GB. The video is provided by a discrete AMD Radeon 530 card with 2 GB of video memory.

It is convenient that you can buy a model with a matte screen cover - then even in bright sunlight the image will not be exposed. Manufacturers say that they installed a very sensitive microphone in the monoblock, which the owner will hear even from across the room. The kit also from the manufacturer supplied the mouse and keyboard. They can be both wired and wireless. In the reviews, some customers say that the candy bar works quite loudly - some even disassembled and additionally cushioned the hard disk to reduce the noise level.

1 DELL OptiPlex 5260

A relatively good all-in-one PC, running the newest Intel Core i3-8100 with a frequency of 3.6 GHz and 8 gigabytes of DDR4 RAM. RAM can be expanded to 32 GB - there would be additional dies. Out of the box can be installed not only the classic Windows Professional 10, but also Linux. Built-in graphics card, Intel HD Graphics 630. On sale there is a model without touch input, so you need to check with the seller before buying, and it is better to check it yourself. Design pleases. The side frames of the IPS screen are slim and elegant. Due to this, with a diagonal of 21.5 inches, the monoblock does not seem large and cumbersome. Full HD resolution.

I am glad that the device is well suited for communication situations - the model has an excellent high-quality webcam and two directional microphones at once. It is very convenient that the monoblock is easy to disassemble, clean and improve - the device panel is removable and easily detachable. No tools are needed to get inside. In this case, the body is quite reliable, it corresponds to the military standard MIL-STD 810G. The case has all the modern interfaces, including USB Type-C. They are additionally protected by a lid so as not to clog with dust.

The best all-in-one graphics

For professional creation of graphic and video content, the all-in-one must be powerful and have an excellent high-resolution screen. This will draw attention to the smallest details. Rendering and working heavy professional programs will not be a problem for a productive device. This is not the case when you need to save - the quality is worth a lot of money.

3 HP ENVY 34-b100ur (4JQ65EA)

And it opens the rating of all-in-one, easy-to-use designers, a device with a chic curved 21: 9 widescreen widescreen by 34 inches. It allows you to provide almost complete immersion in the work - due to the shape of the display and its width it is almost impossible to escape from business. The wide screen allows you to place several programs necessary for the work at once - you do not have to switch windows to find the one you need. In addition, the resolution is suitable for working on specific images - for example, for processing wide panoramas.

The performance of the model is at the level of 16 GB DDR4 RAM, the productive NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 graphics card is not the latest, but it has quite good potential and 2 GB video memory. The processor is an Intel Core i5-8400T with a frequency of 1.7 GHz. But it is easy to overclock to 3.3 GHz. In general, the model is more suitable for simple tasks. With a serious 3D-graphics, it will quickly cope. We can say that the monoblock is designed for specific design tasks for which a wide display is needed.

2 DELL Precision 5720

In the market, the model is positioned as a universal for any job. But more, it is suitable for creating graphics and video due to high performance and a beautiful 27-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 4K. There is an option with touch (which is more convenient), and without a touch screen. AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 graphics card has 8 gigabytes of video memory. The Intel Core i7-7700 processor provides a frequency of 3.6 GHz. RAM can be set up to 64 GB, but commercially, versions with installed RAM up to 36 GB are more common. The device even allows you to develop projects of virtual reality - manufacturers have provided for any work that can only be done on a monoblock.

The design is quite interesting - the touch screen has almost no side and top frames. But the bottom is a wide band with speakers and company logo. It looks unusual. In the usual display the same frame slightly wider. In addition, the monoblock can be used as a quite good media center: six broadband speakers and two passive radiators are built into it at once to enhance bass and bass. Due to the location of the speakers, high-quality surround sound is obtained.

1 Apple iMac (Retina 5K, Mid 2017)

About "apple" monoblocks do not even need to talk much. These are professional devices that are very expensive. But in the hands of a professional, they are more than working out the money invested, allowing you to create really great content. The IPS-touch screen is 27 inches and has a resolution of 5K (5120x2880). The display is incredibly clear and accurately conveys colors. However, for such a price from a professional monoblock and not expected. Top of the range means incredible performance. You can buy Apple All-in-One PCs with 64 GB of RAM, an AMD Radeon Pro 580 graphics card with 8 gigabytes of video memory and a 4.2-GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-7700K processor.

In general, this model is the best for the office of professional designers, creators of special effects and videos. Due to the amazing performance, excellent screen and "apple" longevity can be a long time "workhorse" of any creator of graphic content. In the reviews, buyers actively praise the model. But note the disadvantage - "microscopic" SSD for 24 gigabytes. However, high-quality and expensive HDD (up to 3 terabytes in size) in iMac works no worse than some solid-state drives, so this is not a hindrance.

The best candy bars for home use

Monoblocks for the home - this is the best ratio of not too high cost and good performance. As a rule, they are not designed to perform heavy tasks, but are needed to watch movies, surf the Internet, sometimes to launch games (most often not new products). Therefore, all that is required of such an inexpensive monoblock is a decent processor and a mediocre video card. And preferably at least 4 (and preferably 8) gigabytes of RAM.

3 Lenovo S200z

And it opens the rating of the best monoblocks for the home miniature inexpensive model designed for simple tasks. Initially, the all-in-one is positioned as an office device. But undemanding to the gland, people actively began to acquire it and go home — their compact size and attractive price overlap their small productivity. The screen of this candy bar - just 19.5 inches. But it will fit literally on any table. With such a diagonal, the resolution of 1600x900 allows you to get a very high-quality picture. The display has anti-reflective coating, so even the rays of the sun are not afraid of the image. I am glad that the device is very convenient to carry - for this there is a special pen.

Up to 8 GB DDR3 memory can be installed, but configurations with 4 gigabytes are more common. The processor - Intel Pentium J3710 or Celeron J3060 - both up to 1.6 GHz frequency. But the first has four cores, and the second has only two. So count on more than surfing the Internet and watching movies is not worth it. Although the models may well go old games. And the main advantage of the manufacturer claims efficiency - power consumption is reduced by 7% compared with the previous generation models. But there is a serious drawback - the TFT TN-matrix is ​​installed in the model, due to which the colors are not the most natural, and the viewing angles are rather narrow.

2 HP ProOne 440 G3

Model, whose performance is very dependent on the configuration. Screen size - 23.8 inches. The resolution of the IPS-screen Full HD with this display size allows you to see a clear and vivid picture without grain. To use the all-in-one at home as a media station, an assembly with 8 GB of RAM and an Intel Core i5-7500T processor will suffice. Although if you have money, you can find a model with 16 gigabytes of RAM and an Intel Core i7 processor. For today's games, the “average” model is hardly suitable - there is only an integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 onboard. But you can find quite a good bundle with the NVIDIA GeForce 930MX on sale. Naturally, the price will increase with every improvement.

This inexpensive device is quite enough for a home to watch a movie with the whole family or play some less demanding game. In general, in reviews, users praise the candy bar - for its configuration, it is quite powerful, and the build quality makes the manufacturer respect. Of the shortcomings that customers noted - the device heats up quickly and starts to make noise. But in the kit are a mouse and keyboard.

1 Lenovo V510z

A model capable of digesting even the most demanding modern games in the maximum configuration. The screen is not the largest - 23 inches flat. But the resolution is Full HD, due to which the picture is very clear. Colors are transmitted very accurately due to the IPS-matrix and high-quality display. The coating is opaque, so there will not be a single flare when working during the day or near the light source. It is very convenient. The stand has several types of adjustment for height and inclination.Therefore, the screen can be customized as it is convenient for you. And inside the case you can climb without tools - you do not have to disassemble the candy bar to clean the dust or add RAM.

A common and productive package “to the maximum” includes an Intel Core i7-7700T processor at 2.9 GHz and an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX video card. It all works with support for 8 GB of RAM, but with dies, you can expand it to 32 GB. Optionally, you can install an SSD to speed up the system even more. In reviews, users like the performance of the model and the speed of its work.
