What is a Dell All-in-One desktop?

It is a complete desktop PC built into the back of the monitor, so the processor, memory, storage and often the webcam and speakers all sit behind the screen. You get a full Windows desktop with a single power cable and no separate tower, which keeps the desk tidy. Dell offers them as consumer Inspiron 24/27 and Dell 24/27 models and as commercial Dell Pro units.

Which processors do current Dell All-in-Ones use?

Newer Dell AiOs run current-generation Intel Core Ultra chips, such as Core Ultra 5 and Core Ultra 7, while recent Inspiron models use Intel Core i5 and Core i7 U-series processors. For browsing, email and office work a Core Ultra 5 or Core i5 is plenty; choose a Core Ultra 7 or Core i7 for heavier multitasking. Exact processor options depend on the specific model and configuration in stock.

Are Dell All-in-One desktops good for gaming?

They are built for productivity and multimedia rather than gaming. Most rely on integrated Intel graphics, and the few models with a discrete GPU, such as the Inspiron 27 7720 with an NVIDIA GeForce MX-class card, are meant for light acceleration, not demanding titles. For proper gaming, a desktop tower with a current-generation dedicated graphics card is the better choice.

Can I upgrade the RAM in a Dell All-in-One?

It depends on the model. Slimmer Dell AiOs sometimes use soldered memory that cannot be changed, so you should buy enough RAM upfront. Roomier Inspiron 27 and commercial Dell Pro units more often use accessible SODIMM slots that support upgrades, in several cases up to 64GB DDR5. Check the specifications or owner's manual for the exact model before you plan an upgrade.

What screen sizes and resolutions do Dell All-in-Ones come in?

The range centres on 24-inch and 27-inch displays. FHD (1920x1080) is the standard resolution, and the 27-inch is also offered in sharper QHD on select configurations. Touch screens are available on several Inspiron and Dell AiO models, while non-touch versions keep the price lower for a standard desk setup.

What happened to Dell OptiPlex All-in-Ones?

In its 2025 rebrand, Dell consolidated its client PCs into Dell, Dell Pro and Dell Pro Max tiers. The commercial OptiPlex line, including its all-in-one desktops, now sits under Dell Pro. The recognised Inspiron consumer name still appears alongside the newer Dell 24 and Dell 27 All-in-One models, so you may see both older and newer naming while stock transitions.

Can I connect a second monitor to a Dell All-in-One?

Yes. Many Dell AiOs include HDMI and, on newer models, USB-C, which lets you add an external display for a dual-screen setup. The number of displays and maximum resolution depend on the model's ports and graphics, so confirm the output options on the specific configuration if a second monitor is important to you.

Yes, Dell All-in-One desktops are sold in South Africa, and Evetech stocks a selection of Inspiron and Dell AiO models. Availability and configurations change with supply, so the live models, specifications and current pricing on this page are the ones to go by when ordering.

Dell All-in-One PCs

Dell All-in-One desktop PC with a slim FHD display and integrated stand

Dell All-in-One Desktop PCs

A Dell All-in-One packs the whole computer into the back of the display, so you get a full desktop with one power cable and no separate tower. The current range spans the consumer Inspiron 24 and 27 and the newer Dell 24 / Dell 27 All-in-One models, plus commercial Dell Pro All-in-One units (the line Dell renamed from OptiPlex in its 2025 Dell / Dell Pro / Dell Pro Max rebrand). Most ship with a current Intel Core Ultra or Core i5/i7 processor, DDR5 memory, an NVMe SSD and a 24-inch or 27-inch FHD or QHD screen, with touch available on several. It is a tidy, low-clutter setup for home, study, reception desks and office work. Availability and configuration vary, so check each Dell AiO's spec sheet before you order.

How to Choose a Dell All-in-One Desktop

Start with what the machine is for. Everyday browsing, email, documents and video calls run comfortably on an Intel Core Ultra 5 or Core i5 with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. Heavier multitasking, light photo editing or a busy office desk are better on a Core Ultra 7 or Core i7 with 32GB or more. Because everything lives behind the screen, decide up front on display size (24-inch for compact desks, 27-inch for more working room), resolution (FHD is standard, QHD is sharper on the 27-inch), and whether you want a touch screen.

The display is the machine, so choose it deliberately. Dell offers 24-inch All-in-Ones for compact desks and 27-inch models when you want more room for two documents side by side. FHD (1920x1080) is the standard resolution across the range; the 27-inch also comes in sharper QHD on select configurations. Touch is available on several Inspiron and Dell AiO models and suits reception, kitchen or study use, while non-touch keeps the price down for a standard desk PC.

Newer Dell AiOs run current Intel Core Ultra chips (for example Core Ultra 5 or Core Ultra 7), while recent Inspiron units use Intel Core i5/i7 U-series processors. For browsing, email and office apps, a Core Ultra 5 or Core i5 with 16GB of RAM is plenty. Step up to a Core Ultra 7 or Core i7 with 32GB or more for heavy multitasking and light creative work. Check whether the specific model has soldered or SODIMM memory, as that decides whether you can add RAM later.

The consumer line (Inspiron 24/27 and the newer Dell 24/27 All-in-One) targets home, family and study use with a focus on design and value. The commercial line, renamed Dell Pro in Dell's 2025 rebrand and formerly sold as OptiPlex, adds business features: broader manageability, security options, more upgrade access and longer support cycles for office fleets. If the AiO is for a workplace desk or IT-managed environment, the Dell Pro range is usually the better fit.

Most Dell All-in-Ones rely on integrated Intel graphics (Arc, Iris Xe or UHD depending on the chip), which handle everyday apps, multiple displays and 4K video playback well. A few models, such as the Inspiron 27 7720, add a modest discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX-class GPU for light acceleration, but this is not a gaming or heavy-3D card. Treat Dell AiOs as productivity and multimedia machines; for serious gaming or GPU-heavy rendering, a tower with a current-generation dedicated graphics card is the right tool.

Look for an NVMe SSD rather than a hard drive as the main drive, since it makes Windows and apps feel far quicker; 512GB suits most users and 1TB or more helps if you store media locally. On connectivity, newer models add Wi-Fi 7 and USB-C alongside HDMI and Ethernet, which matters if you connect a second monitor, dock or wired network. Confirm the port layout and wireless generation on the exact configuration, as these differ between the entry and higher-tier Dell AiOs.

Also weigh the things you cannot change later. Some slim Dell AiOs use soldered memory, so pick enough RAM at purchase; roomier Inspiron 27 and Dell Pro models offer accessible SODIMM slots. These are integrated-graphics machines built for productivity, not a gaming rig or a heavy 3D workstation, so match your expectations to that. Confirm ports (USB-C, HDMI, Ethernet), Wi-Fi generation, and warranty on the exact model before buying.
