SCORE Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) Pros Big, bright display
Strong single-core performance
Solid graphics from RTX 4050 Cons More expensive than non-AIO setups
Effectively zero upgrade options
Some weird glitches
The Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19) may be a good AIO desktop computer, but it's pricey. It has a big, bright display offering a colorful 4K picture and has surprisingly potent hardware -- and it runs quietly. Even the audio system is good with its quad-speaker setup. But it's expensive with an as-tested $2,809 price tag. Viewing all these elements with that price in mind, it's more expensive than the sum of its parts, and its performance ends up lagging behind what you should expect for the money.
The performance also doesn't outshine competent gaming laptops that cost less than half what this system does. Other mini PCs, like the truly tiny M4 Mac Mini or Minisforum AI X1 Pro can simply trounce this system where CPU performance is concerned. That latter system also has a ton of ports and upgrade options; this system doesn't. While laptops may have smaller displays, and those mini PCs lack displays altogether, the price of any of them leaves so much extra budget headroom that you could still buy one of the best monitors to go with them for similar money as the 32i. And while the 32i does have a good screen, it doesn't stack up against the best.
To be fair, there is an elegance to having everything packed into one machine like the Lenovo Yoga AIO 32i (32ILL19), but compared with pairing a laptop or mini PC with a standalone monitor, there's an extreme impracticality to it for which you're charged a premium.
