Pre-built PCs range in price, design, and power. There are budget models ideal for homework, email, and web browsing, mid-range and compact models for offices or retail locations, and high-end gaming PCs that can be customized to run your favorite games.
Dell’s XPS Desktop (8960)
Prices start at a modest $900 for a model with a 14th Gen Intel Core i7-14700 processor (CPU), integrated UHD graphics, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. Thanks to the generous configuration options, you can add up to an Intel Core i9-14900K CPU, NVIDIA RTX 4090 graphics card (GPU), 64GB of RAM, and 8TB of storage split up between two 4TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs.
Acer’s Aspire TC-1775
The PC is equipped with a 14th Gen Intel Core i5-14400 CPU and integrated Intel UHD graphics, with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. That’s more than enough to handle productivity work, email, homework, and other tasks around the house, making it a great option for the family PC.
HP’s Envy Move
HP’s Envy Move reinvented the All-in-One (AiO) genre, creating something that lives between a laptop and a desktop. At first glance, it’s a classic AiO with a built-in display. However, it also has a built-in battery, carrying handle, and feet that rotate in and out.
HP offers up to a 13th Gen Intel Core i7-1355U CPU, integrated Iris Xe graphics, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and up to 1TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage, but even lesser configs will be able to keep up with productivity work and streaming.
Lenovo Legion Tower 7i (Gen 8)
At the time of my most recent update, a model with an Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU, NVIDIA RTX 4080 SUPER, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage costs about $2,350. Considering the RTX 5000 launch has led a lot of shoppers to turn to the RTX 4080 SUPER, driving up prices, that’s a decent price.
