That�s right, many of the top computers can be upgraded over time with new components that make them perform faster with age. Although, at the same time, all-in-one computers exist, usually without offering such expansion. Whatever your preference in form factor, these are the top 10 best computers you can buy off the shelf today.
The 27-inch, 5K iMac in particular can be configured with a quad-core Intel Core i5 processor touting up to 3.9GHz clock speeds with Turbo Boost kicked into high gear. And, of course, trumpeting that eloquent 5K screen, it looks just as sleek as it feels to use. Plus, even bearing the guts of an entire desktop rig, the aluminum chassis somehow stays slimmer than most standalone monitors.
The 28-inch, 4,500 x 3,000 PixelSense Display puts even most 4K screens to shame, while the fully-articulating stand makes it a rather versatile tool whether it�s for work or play. That goes without mentioning the aluminum finish, which suits the Surface Studio well against the sheen of the Microsoft Windows logo from the rear. Though the port placement is a little funky, the Surface Studio goes above and beyond.
Display's massive, 4,096 x 2,304 pixel-resolution is great for surfing the web in comfort with multiple windows side-by-side in macOS Sierra�s Split View in addition to image and video editing, watching 4K video content and doing just about everything else. Like the 5K iMac, the Magic Mouse 2 is included along with the newest Magic Keyboard.
Intel Compute Sticks, now that you can choose between an Intel Core m3 or Core m5 chip, our qualms have been assuaged. The Intel Compute Stick is still cheap enough that its few shortcomings can be overlooked. Its tiny form factor and competent CPU should be enough to satisfy.
Audio quality exerted from the Wave�s onboard speaker system, HP and B&O Play have devised a clever cylindrical design that actually improves on sound quality while looking good at the same time. The HP Pavilion Wave also manages to future-proof itself with three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, DisplayPort and even a single USB Type-C port.
UN45 bears an M.2 SSD regardless of which model you opt for, ranging from 32GB to 128GB. However, if you don�t mind the reduction in performance and configure your VivoMini UN45 with an Intel Celeron N3000, you�ll get the liberty of a fanless design that�s completely silent even when the CPU is under full load.
