Another important thing that you should not miss is checking the specifications of each PC. The higher the specifications of the AIO PC, the more practical its use. However, the price of the AIO PC will also be more expensive.
Processor, give the best performance on PC
The processor is arguably the brain of a PC. The ability of a PC to process data is determined by the level of the processor it has. The higher the processor level, the smoother the PC runs heavy applications. On the other hand, the price of AIO PCs is also becoming more and more expensive.
AIO PCs with Intel Core i3 processors are suitable for opening applications with light data loading. With this processor, running Microsoft, playing music, watching videos, and streaming movies is not a problem. The advantage, the price of an AIO PC with an Intel Core i3 processor is also more affordable.
If you need an AIO PC with a higher specification, choose a product with an Intel Core i5 processor or above. This processor has a more robust performance so that it can run heavy applications. That way, opening graphics-based applications, such as AutoCAD, Adobe, and others becomes faster. In addition, the rendering process is also faster so you don't have to wait long.
RAM, large capacity to run many applications at once
Random access memory (RAM) is a storage space used for various data applications that are still running. The greater the RAM capacity, the more applications you can open at the same time.
An AIO PC with 4 GB of RAM is considered sufficient to open a variety of light basic applications. You can use this type of PC for browsing, doing tasks, and watching movies. Meanwhile, for heavy data computing needs, choose a product with a RAM capacity of 6 GB and above. This PC is usually used for work.
You can also upgrade the RAM on the AIO PC. For example, your PC has 4 GB of RAM. You can increase the RAM capacity to 8 GB. Nonetheless, there are additional costs, both the purchase of new RAM and its installation. So, consider the RAM capacity you need.
Graphics card, produce a clear and sharp display
Graphics card (VGA) functions to process all graphics that will be displayed on the monitor. If you work in the world of graphics, such as an illustrator or videographer, VGA becomes a very important factor.
Currently there are three major factories that produce graphics cards, namely NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel. NVIDIA has famous graphics cards, namely the GeForce and Quadro series. Meanwhile, the graphics card product from AMD is AMD Radeon. Finally, Intel also produces Intel Graphics graphics cards.
Graphics cards from Intel are standard graphics devices. This type is sufficient for those of you who are not too concerned with the quality of the graphics on the monitor. Meanwhile, NVIDIA and AMD are often used for high-quality screen display needs. Graphics cards from NVIDIA and AMD are suitable for those of you who play modern games or professional needs.
Internal storage, save multiple files more conveniently
Internal storage determines how many files can be stored. If you don't store large files in large quantities, choose a PC with 500 GB of storage. This type of PC with 500 GB of internal storage also has a more affordable price. However, if you need to store large files, choose a PC with 1 TB of storage and above.
See also the features that all in One PCs have
In addition to the specifications, you also need to check the features available on the all-in-one PC. Choose a product that has features according to your needs.
Touch screen, graphics-based work becomes more practical
Today, many AIO PCs already use a touch screen display so you can adjust the screen easily. If you are a professional like a video editor or illustrator, the touch screen feature will help a lot. You can also adjust the position, zoom-in, zoom-out, and more more easily. That way, your productivity will also increase.
Audio quality, produce quality sound
If you often listen to music, watch videos, or movie series, pay attention to the audio quality as well. A good video of course must be balanced with audio performance. That way, the viewing sensation that is presented is even more enjoyable. Some AIO PC products are equipped with Dolby Audio, a technology that is usually installed in cinemas. With this technology, you can hear more lifelike sound.
Camera, useful for online meetings/video calls
If you use an AIO PC for virtual meetings, choose an AIO PC that has a built-in camera. That way, you don't have to buy an additional webcam or camera again.
In addition, also check the resolution of the image produced by the AIO PC. The higher the resolution, the clearer the image displayed. If you often have virtual meetings, choose an AIO PC with a built-in camera with a resolution of 720p and above. That way, your display on other colleagues' PCs is not blurry.
Not only the quality of the camera, you also need to check the quality of the mic from the AIO PC. A good built-in mic makes your voice sound great. Especially if the built-in mic on the PC is equipped with a noise reduction feature. Disturbing noises such as wind, air conditioning, or others will be reduced so that your voice sounds clearer.
Check the completeness and position of connectivity with other devices
Also check the number and types of ports available on the AIO PC. That way, connecting the AIO PC to various devices, such as smartphones, LCDs, and more, becomes easier.
At least, the AIO PC has three USB ports. Two ports for the keyboard and mouse and the rest for other devices. If your smartphone uses a USB Type-C port, it will be more practical if your PC is also equipped with the same port. Meanwhile, HDMI is useful for connecting a PC with a larger LCD or monitor.
Not only the number of ports, also check the layout and distance of each port. Ports that are too close will interfere with other cables. On the other hand, a USB port that is too far away will make the cable look messy. Choose a PC with ports in the same area with a distance that does not interfere with other ports.
