A few weeks before writing this review, my dad asked me for a recommendation on a new computer. He's been using an aging Lenovo all-in-one (AiO) still running Windows 10, and it's clearly not as fast as it used to be. I told him I'd get back to him once I found something worthwhile, and I did: Dell's new 2026 24-inch All-in-One desktop.

I really enjoyed testing this Dell machine. No, it's not the most powerful computer in the world. Plenty of systems will outperform it, but as an accessible all-in-one, it's easy to set up, delivers reliable performance, and comes with solid accessories. For all those reasons, it makes a good fit for anyone who wants a no-fuss office computer.
