Monoblock in the post-Soviet open spaces - the beast is still relatively rare. The target audience of the device is people who do not want to waste space on the system unit, who are tired of constant noise and the heat radiated by this unit (especially in the summer heat). Due to the size, slightly larger than a conventional monitor, the all-in-one is easy to carry and connect, and the quality of video and audio is generally better than that of a laptop. True, the cost of such a device is higher than that of a personal computer, but you have to pay for convenience. The list of the best monoblocks of 2017 is compiled according to customer reviews and reviews on 3DNews and other specialized sites.
10. Apple iMac 21
Price: from 90 000 rubles.
While the world is mastering Apple’s new candy bar (ninth place in the ranking), the old 2013-2015 models are quite suitable for work and entertainment. Appearance speaks of traditional quality from Apple - stylish, serious, with a thin aluminum case and invisible joints. Although the filling is a little outdated (i5 processor with a frequency of 1.6 to 3.1 GHz, 8 GB of RAM and a drive of 1 or 2 TB), but it is quite enough for domestic use and even games.
9. Apple iMac 27 5K Retina
Price: from 168 990 rubles.
For those who need to process photos / videos at work or for their own pleasure. Doing this is easy and enjoyable with a 27-inch display and a resolution of 5120x2880, and a powerful seventh-generation processor and an AMD Radeon Pro video adapter will provide speed and performance. Wireless mouse and keyboard are also included.
8. Microsoft Surface Studio
Price: from 195 000 rubles.
A great choice if you have connected your life with the world of art and design (and you have money). The screen (thanks to the swivel mount) can be tilted at all possible angles, and the mega-resolution of 4500x3000 and the support for expanded color gamut will allow you to surrender inspiration at full power. The processor power depends on the price (from i5 to i7), the amount of RAM is from 8 to 32 GB. And also comes with a stylus, with which you can draw on the display, like on paper.
7. Dell XPS 27 7760
Price: from 152,000 rubles.
If the previous ranking was mainly for visuals, then the Dell XPS was simply created for audiences. The main highlight of the model is the amazing number of built-in speakers (there are as many as 10 pieces). A touch screen with a resolution of 3840x2160 and a diagonal of 27 inches, a hinged stand allows you to tilt the screen at any angle. The filling depends on the configuration (processor from i5-6300 to i7-6700, the power of the video card and memory capacity also varies), but even in a budget configuration, the capacity should be enough for most tasks.
6. MSI AG270 2QE
Price: from 100 000 rubles.
The target audience of this monoblock is gamers. The 27-inch anti-glare display and anti-glimmer power system ensures that games aren’t tired. The top-end package pulls anything (the Intel HM87 chipset, which can still be overclocked using the TurboBoost function, a GTX 980M graphics card and 16 GB of RAM). AG270 2QE is also ideal for working with graphic editors, as well as a home multimedia station.
5. HP EliteOne 800 G3
Price: from 75 000 rubles.
Monoblock business class with enhanced security measures. Access to the system is possible only after scanning a fingerprint and checking the image on the camera with a photograph of the owner’s face. A few other special technologies will protect files from unauthorized entry and will quickly recover data after possible failures. The screen itself with an anti-reflective coating and a diagonal of 23.8 inches will allow you to work behind it for as long as you want without fatigue for the eyes. Processor power and graphics adapter depend on the configuration (sixth or seventh generation of Intel and various modifications of Intel HD Graphics).
4. Lenovo Yoga Home 900
Price: from 110 000 rubles.
This model is primarily intended for family use. It can equally well be used as a personal computer or as a giant tablet (with a diagonal of 27 inches and a resolution of 1920 x 1080). Thanks to the built-in battery, you can use the candy bar anywhere (although we would not recommend taking it with you to the bathroom). And the filling in the form of an Intel Core i5 processor and a GTX 940A graphics adapter will allow you to perform almost all tasks with acceptable performance.
3. Acer Aspire U5-710
Price: from 90 000 rubles.
The main difference between the Acer Aspire U5-710 and its competitors is the camera, which allows you to control your computer with gestures, as well as scan three-dimensional objects. The i7-6700T processor, 8 GB of RAM, 1 TB hard drive and 128 GB SSD. One of the best monoblocks in the ranking for the versatility / price / quality ratio.
2. Lenovo ThinkCentre X1
Price: from 70 000 rubles.
The second place in the top monoblocks of 2017 is occupied by the original-looking model from Lenovo. Its body is very thin (monoblock weighs only 5 kg), made of aluminum, which in addition to increased strength guarantees even better cooling. And in monoblocks, like laptops, cooling is one of the pain points. Another unit is equipped with additional protection against dust. The standard size screen, with a diagonal of 23.8, a resolution of 1920x1080, can be tilted at different angles. There are a lot of modifications of iron, from budget ones based on i3 to top-end ones based on i7.
1. Asus Zen AiO Pro Z40IC
Price: from 90 000 rubles.
It was rather difficult to choose the first place in the rating - most of the all-in-ones were created for very specific tasks, which they perform best of all. After a long reflection, it was decided to give the palm to one of the best candy bars of 2017 for the home in terms of price / quality / versatility - Asus Zen AiO Pro Z40IC. You can also communicate with gestures with this premium candy bar; it allows you to work with many applications without using a mouse and keyboard. The screen is large, bright, with a resolution of 3840x2160, multi-touch sensor, an advanced cooling system, an abundance of interfaces and the latest generation processor - and at the same time, the price is not too high.
