Ask Our Experts
Is there a downside
to buying a full-
sized desktop
instead of an
all-in-one model?
A FULL-SIZED DESKTOP computer, though bulkier than a sleek all-in-
one model, can ofer similar performance for less money—especially
if you already own a monitor. Even if you do need to buy a new
monitor (adding a few hundred dollars to your outlay), your total
cost may still be lower than for an equivalent all-in-one computer.
(Compare, say, the cost of the HP Pavilion model, right, with the HP
all-in-one next to it.) “Just look for a resolution of at least 1920x1080—
regardless of what screen size or brand you prefer,” advises
Antonette Asedillo, CR’s lead computer tester. Full-sized computers
are also easier to upgrade and repair than all-in-one models. Still, for
compactness and convenience, an all-in-one is hard to beat.Wha t We’re Testing
